Venezuelan Jorge Linares and British Anthony Crolla had their public workout in Manchester, England, before their bout this Saturday, when they will fight for the World Boxing Association Lightweight Title.
The gladiators had a slight workout in front of an audience that applauded them. Both Linares and Crolla are in the last week of preparation and all the work was done previously. However, the audience attending the National Football Museum in Manchester were able to enjoy the public workout of these two stars.
