BBC Sport
Boxer Anthony Crolla is "recovering well" in hospital from a fractured skull and broken ankle after he was hit on the head when confronting burglars.
Crolla, 28, was due to fight for the WBA world lightweight title in January.
Promoter Eddie Hearn told BBC Sport the Manchester-based boxer was in a "stable condition" but the fight was now off.
"He confronted burglars and was hit on the head by either a brick or concrete slab. He is in hospital where they are carrying out a scan," he said.
Police later confirmed that a 28-year-old man was left with a fractured skull after being struck "with a heavy object" when chasing burglars he had spotted leaving his neighbours' home.
They said he was "recovering well".
Trainer Joe Gallagher said Crolla had stitches in his head and a deep wound.
Gallagher said: "The next-door neighbours were being burgled, and the burglars came into his garden. He gave chase and apprehended one of them.
"The other one lifted a slab of concrete and hit him with it, and he fell and broke his ankle."
Crolla, who has won 29 of his 35 professional fights, will have surgery on his foot, Gallagher said.
Crolla, who was taken to Royal Oldham Hospital, was set for the biggest bout of his eight-year professional career in Manchester on 23 January against WBA champion Richar Abril, 32, from Cuba.
Hearn added: "Unfortunately the 23 January fight is off but our concerns right now are with Ant and his family.
"I'm devastated for him. He has been training for six weeks for this and has a shot at the world title in his home town.
"You ask anyone in boxing and I doubt you will find a nicer kid than Ant. I'm absolutely gutted for him.
"I have spoken to Richar Abril's team and we are trying to reschedule the fight."
