Sources: Terence Crawford To Return 4/18 In Omaha

Multiple sources have told Boxingscene.com that the return of Terrence Crawford will take place on April 18th back in the familiar haunts of Omaha, Nebraska on HBO.

2014 was a breakout year for Crawford who captured the WBO lightweight crown on the road against Ricky Burns in Scotland in March, and then proceeded to turn in two dominant performance in his hometown at the CenturyLink Center against Yuriorkis Gamboa in June and the Ray Beltran in November. Both fights drew sizable audiences of over 10,000.

Crawford now plans to move up from 135-pounds and compete in the junior welterweight division where he could be in line to fight for the vacant WBO belt.
