Khan vs Crawford Live
After notching a third-round destruction of Julius Indongo in August
2017 to become the undisputed junior welterweight champion, Crawford
(34-0, 25 KOs) moved up to 147 pounds last June and hasn’t looked back.
The 31-year-old battered Jeff Horn to win by ninth-round TKO and capture
the WBO belt. He went on to successfully defend the title in October,
stopping José Benavidez Jr. with 18 seconds left.
With a lack of challengers at welterweight in the Top Rank stable,
Crawford needed someone to help establish him as a force to be reckoned
with. Boxing fans wanted Crawford to face IBF titlist Errol Spence Jr.
to see who the king of the division and the sport would be. Spence
fought Mikey Garcia in March instead, so Crawford went to one of the
biggest names in the game.
