Crawford, a 28-year-old native of Nebraska, will seek to reaffirm his status as the best 140-pounder in the world. Lundy, a 33-year-old native of Philedelphia, will look to take advantage of what will perhaps be his last shot at a world title.
In the co-main event, rising prospect Felix Verdejo will take on William Silva in scheduled 10-round Lightweight fight, while Seanie Monaghan, Julian Rodriguez and Emanuel Taylor will fight on the undercard in separate fights.
