Terence Crawford vs Shawn Porter Welterweight title fight is set to take place on November 20, 2021 at Michelob Ultra Arena, Paradise, Nevada, U.S.
Despite being considered as one of the best pound for pound boxers in the world and WBO welterweight title holder, Terence Crawford has been seeking an appropriate opponent. And his time wish seems to come true as he will take two-time former welterweight champion Shawn Porter.
Crawford will defend his WBO welterweight title against Porter. However, Shawn Porter previously held both IBF and WBO welterweight titles. He lost these two titles against Errol Spence Jr. Later he won the vacant WBC Silver welterweight title by defeating Sebastian Formella. Although he will be fighting for WBO welterweight, he is not putting his title on the line.
Crawford has a perfect 37-0 record in which he won 28 fights by knockout. He gradually got on the top and became today’s Crawford. After earning both lightweight and undisputed junior welterweight he bucketed WBO welterweight title by defeating Jeff Horn through TKO. After that he defended the title four more times and won all those bouts via TKO.
So, now it is time to see if Crawford can retain his title for the fifth time. Since, both fighters have a huge fan base and have the ability to attract a lot of viewers. Hence, they are expecting a good amount of purse!
