Saturday, June 28, 2014, undefeated world champion Terence Crawford, the Pride of Omaha, and Cuban sensation Yuriorkis Gamboa, who share identical 23-0, 16 KOs professional ring records, will battle for Crawford’s newly-won World Boxing Organization (WBO) lightweight title.
The fight will be the first world championship fight Omaha has hosted in 42 years, back when Joe Frazier successfully defended his heavyweight title against Nebraska’s-own Ron Stander in 1972.
The fight will be held at the CenturyLink Center and televised live on HBO Boxing After Dark, in its first-ever visit to Omaha, beginning at 10:00 pm, EST.
On a night of many “firsts,” someone’s 0 has got to go.
