LERRONE DREAMS OF PLOUGH LANE

Dons fan eager for scrap at stadium

- John Lyons

UNDEFEATED boxer Lerrone Richards is aiming for another win on Friday – to help him move a step closer to a dream fight at AFC Wimbledon’s Plough Lane!

The 31-year-old, who hails from nearby New Malden, takes on Steed Woodall in a super-middleweight contest at the famed York Hall, Bethnal Green, but it’s another venue that long-time Dons fan Richards has in his sights.

“I would love to fight at Plough Lane,” he told The FLP. “It’s about bringing the right fight at the right time. I probably need to win another world title to achieve that.

“I feel it’s realistic and what an event it would be for the club – it would be history. That’s what I plan on doing.”

The Dons have suffered a few blows of late in their bid for a League Two play-off spot, but southpaw Richards is hoping they can still pack a punch in the closing weeks of the campaign.
