Promoter Bob Arum has confirmed to BoxingScene.com that a doubleheader featuring former WBO lightweight champion Terrence Crawford (25-0, 17KOs) and WBA featherweight titlist, Nicholas Walters (25-0, 21KOs), is being scheduled for March 21st at the Theater of Madison Square Garden in what would be an HBO doubleheader.
The original plan called for Crawford to fight on April 18th, when asked about the date moving to March 21, Arum explained - "it's because that's the date that was available at the Garden."
Crawford could be facing Chris Algieri (who briefly held this title last year) and a name being mentioned for Walters is Puerto Rican, Gamalier Rodriguez.
