Later tonight WBC/WBO super lightweight champion Terence Crawford and WBA/IBF super lightweight champion Julius Indongo will both have a shot at history with all four major belts on the line in their ESPN televised fight.

The action takes place in Lincoln, Nebraska which is an hour away from Crawford's hometown.

It has been 15 years since there has been a 4 belt title holder in the sport and it has never been done in the 140 pound weight division.

Crawford wants to be the first to do it and is a student of the game. At the fight week press conference he reminded everyone that former champion Kostya Tszyu came the closest to achieving the feat.

"This is history. The closest person to capturing all four in this division is Kostya Tszyu. He had three and I want to be labeled as the man that won all four of them in my state of Nebraska. It means a lot to me because a lot of people don't believe that good talent comes from the state of Nebraska and I have been proving them wrong ever since I came on the scene in boxing - from amateurs to the pros - and winning all these titles is going to mean everything," said Crawford.

The Omaha, Nebraska native is recognized as a top 5 pound-for-pound fighter by most boxing outlets and he feels that capturing all four belts will catapult him to the top of the heap.

"Number one. There is nothing else to be discussed about. Number one," Crawford stated.
