The battle between Crawford (31-0, 22 KOs) of Omaha, Nebraska, a two-time world champion, ‘Fighter of the Year’ in 2014 and current super lightweight champion of the World Boxing Council, and Indongo (22-0, 12 KOs) from Windhoek, Namibia, IBF and WBA champion, will be televised live and exclusively at 10 pm EST on ESPN, ESPN Sports and ESPN Mobile App.
“This fight is very important because I could be the king of the division and make history. To be able to win all the titles is something I can not even explain, but I’m ready to do it,” said Crawford, also remarking: ” He has gone to Russia and Scotland and defeated two champions on their home turfs, and now he comes to Nebraska to try to do the same with me, on mine. This shows a lot of his character and confidence. He will try to take away my titles, but he won’t so it will be a great fight. ”
For his part, Indongo commented:
“I am well prepared and I am very intelligent. I see myself as easy going outside the ring, but when you’re inside the ring with me, you definitively will see something totally different. The preparation has been perfect. We’re focused and ready for the fight. I’ve been fighting for over 17 years and I’ve faced the best of the best. I will be happy if I see him standing in front of me to fight. Only God knows what will happen that day. I can only say that I am ready to win. ”
