No Limit Boxing Secure Home World Title Fight For Liam Paro
No Limit Boxing has secured promotional rights to Liam Paro’s IBF world title challenge, successfully winning the official purse bid overnight to lock in a blockbuster world championship bout on Australian soil.
As the mandatory challenger to IBF champion Lewis Crocker, Paro will finally have the opportunity to fight for a world title in Australia, after previously being required to defend his IBF crown overseas in Puerto Rico. Final dates, venue and event details will be announced shortly.
The bout marks a defining moment in Paro’s career, as the former super-lightweight world champion looks to become only the second Australian-born male fighter to win recognised world titles in multiple divisions, following the legendary Jeff Fenech.
Paro said securing the fight at home made the moment even more meaningful.
“This is everything I’ve wanted,” Paro said.
“I never got the chance as a world champion to defend a title on home soil, so to now fight for another world title in Australia is something special.”
“No Limit Boxing went to work and delivered this. They backed me, they believed in me, and now we get to do this in front of Australian fans.”
“I’ve already proven I can win a world title anywhere. Now it’s time to make history at home, follow in the footsteps of a legend like Jeff Fenech, and become a two-time world champion.”
No Limit Boxing CEO George Rose said the successful purse bid was a statement moment for Australian boxing.
“To outbid Matchroom and Eddie Hearn and bring this fight home is massive. Not just for Liam, but for the sport in this country,” Rose said.
“This is what No Limit Boxing is built on. We promised Liam world-class opportunities when he signed with us less than 12 months ago, and now he’s fighting for a second world title on Australian soil.”
“There is no better feeling than making dreams come true, something I know will live with Liam forever. Now the hard work starts to put on a spectacular show.”
“It’s a historic moment and we’re proud to be delivering it.”
