The WBO welterweight title is on the line tonight (Nov. 20) in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Reigning champion Terence Crawford (37-0, 28 KOs) is up against his toughest test to date since he moved to welterweight in 2018. His opponent is none other than former WBC and former IBF champion Shawn Porter (31-3-1, 17 KOs), who is Crawford’s mandatory challenger for his WBO belt.
Crawford is considered one of the best pound-for-pound boxers in the world, having elevated his profile by unifying the junior welterweight division back in 2017. He won the WBO title at 147 lbs with a stoppage of Jeff Horn in 2018, but his subsequent title fights have been underwhelming in terms of relevant opposition.
