Indongo-Crawford megafight draws closer

A junior welterweight unification fight between Julius Indongo and Terence Crawford could soon become a reality with the news that Indongo and his promoter Nestor Tobias will meet the Crawford camp in New York this weekend.

Tobias and Indongo left for the United States on Wednesday to attend Saturday's world title fight between Crawford and Felix Diaz of the Dominican Republic at Madison Square Garden in New York, when Crawford will put his WBC and WBO titles on the line. Indongo holds the other three major junior welterweight world titles of the WBA, IBF and IBO and since his victory over Ricky Burns last month, talk of a unification bout against Crawford has grown stronger. Tobias confirmed the news on Wednesday, saying that they wanted to meet and start negotiating with Crawford's camp.
