Crawford-Avanesyan December 10 in USA

Terence Crawford (38-0, 29 KOs) is about to return, and, unfortunately, not in a welterweight unification bout with Errol Spence, but with a voluntary defense of the WBO title.

The magnificent "Bud" will return to the ring on December 10 in his native Omaha, and the role of his opponent will be played by a little known to the local public, but very durable David Avanesyan (29-3-1, 17 KOs).

The fight will be available in the United States via pay-per-view for $39.95. The press release for this fight talks about Crawford's biggest eight-figure fee of his career. At the same time, Terence's camp is still negotiating a merger with Errol Spence (28-0, 22 KOs). Such a duel is scheduled for the first quarter of next year. There is even a preliminary date for it - February 4 and a ring in Las Vegas. However, first Crawford must deal with Avanesyan.

“He is a really strong opponent who has defeated the last six opponents. But I still have the same plans, and as soon as I deal with Avanesyan, I'll kick Spence's ass, ”said Crawford, who last fought in November last year, defeating Sean Porter by technical knockout in the tenth round. Thus, he fulfilled his contract with Top Rank and now continues to work with Al Haymon.
