He is set to defend his WBC, WBA, WBO, and IBF super-middleweight championships against the undefeated four-division champion.
On the other hand, Crawford, 38, is seeking the opportunity to become the first fighter in the modern four-belt era to achieve undisputed status in three weight classes, having already accomplished that in both welterweight and junior welterweight.
However, Bud hasn’t entered the ring since August 2024, when he earned the WBA super-middleweight title by defeating Israil Madrimov.
This match is anticipated to be among the greatest in the sport’s history, making it essential for fans to know the exact start time of the event.
