Russia's Eduard Troyanovsky (25-1, 22 KOs) is eager to get his hands on Julius Indongo (22-0, 11 KOs) of Namibia. Last fall, Indongo pulled off one of the biggest upsets of 2016 when he knocked Troyanovskiy out cold in the first minute of the first round, to capture the Russian boxer's International Boxing Federation (IBF) and International Boxing Organization (IBO) junior welterweight world titles.
The successful journey of once unknown Julius Indongo continues after the Namibian boxer earned another major win from his usual underdog role last night in Scotland. For the IBF/IBO titlist Indongo (22-0, 11 KOs), who won his titles in December last year with a shocking 40-second knockout over previously unbeaten Eduard Troyanovsky in Russia, stakes were even higher in his second appearance on foreign soil as he faced fellow belt holder, WBA king Ricky Burns (41-6-1, 14 KOs) at the SSE Hydro in Glasgow.

NEW YORK – There wasn’t much demand for a rematch once Terence Crawford defeated Ricky Burns three years ago. Crawford won the WBO world lightweight title in convincing fashion from Burns in Glasgow, Scotland, and the scorecards reflected the thorough nature of Crawford’s victory (117-111, 116-112, 116-112). If Burns beats Julius Indongo on Saturday, however, a Crawford-Burns rematch would become an important option for Crawford because it would represent an opportunity to become boxing’s undisputed 140-pound champion.
