WBC and WBO junior welterweight titleholder, Terence Crawford (31-0, 22 KO) vs. IBF and WBA junior welterweight champion Julius Indongo (22-0, 11 KO) isn't getting the same attention that the Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Conor McGregor "boxing" match is receiving, or even the same hype as the Canelo Alvarez vs. Gennady Golovkin clash, but in many ways, it's a purer, more old-school battle between elite fighters in the sweet science.
Top Rank Boxing's agreement with ESPN is in full swing. It began with the mega-popular Manny Pacquiao vs. Jeff Horn bout in July. The momentum dipped a bit in August with Vasyl Lomachenko's successful title defense over Miguel Marriaga.
The fight drew 728,000 viewers which was down from Loma's last fight in HBO.
Top Rank is hoping higher stakes and a more even fight on paper will produce better results for Crawford-Indongo. The broadcast begins at 10 p.m. ET.
