ANTHONY Crolla will fight Edson Ramirez to complete the undercard of Anthony Joshua’s Heavyweight unification fight with Joseph Parker at Principality Stadium.

His opponent has an 18-2-1 record, but has not lost since his third fight, six years ago. This will be his first fight outside of his native Mexico and his first in an arena.
Crolla said: “I need to get out there and get another win and then we can look for a big fight in the summer.
“It’s a great platform, there’s no bigger event to be on and I’m really excited to go to Cardiff. I’m always mixing at the top level so I want a test and Ramirez will be well up for it.”
There will be plenty of British talent on show at the Principality Stadium on March 31.
