Anthony Crolla won the WBA lightweight world title with a fifth round stoppage of Darleys Perez at the Manchester Arena.

Fighting in his home town, Crolla landed a powerful body shot in the fifth which put the Colombian on his knees. He would be unable to recover.

It was a moment which completed a remarkable comeback. Less than a year ago, Crolla sustained a fractured skull after he had been hit with a concrete slab by burglars he had confronted fleeing a neighbour's house.
