Vasyl Lomachenko vs Anthony Crolla: What are the odds for the fight, who is the favourite and when is it?

Lomachenko is the heavy favourite ahead of the fight on Friday night

Anthony Crolla will look to significantly burnish his legacy on Friday night when he looks to pull off one of the greatest upsets in the history of boxing against unified lightweight king Vasyl Lomachenko.

Not many would have tipped Crolla for world honours in 2012 after he followed up losing his British lightweight title to Derry Mathews with defeat to Gary Sykes in a Prizefighter tournament.

But three years later he wrenched the WBA lightweight crown from Darleys Perez, successfully defended the belt against Ismael Barroso before coming up short in a pair of bouts against the highly-regarded Jorge Linares.

Crolla has since rebuilt with three successive victories, the last of which - a points win over Daud Yordan last November - made him the mandatory challenger for WBA and WBO lightweight champion Lomachenko.

The Ukrainian, who has won world titles in three weight classes to sit near the top of many observers' mythical pound-for-pound lists, is 1/100 with many bookmakers to defeat Crolla at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. Here are the key odds you need to know.
