LOS ANGELES -- A picture may be worth a thousand words but a stamp is Forever. Just ask World Boxing Council (WBC) super lightweight world champion "The Iceman" VIKTOR POSTOL who presented a larger than life commemorative stamp of himself to his opponent World Boxing Organization (WBO) junior welterweight world titlist TERENCE "Bud" CRAWFORD at today's Beverly Hills press conference (photo attached). The undefeated world champions announced their 12-round world title unification fight to determine the lineal king of the exciting 140-pound division.
On the heels of significant progress made in finalizing terms for the upcoming World super lightweight championship between unbeaten titlists Terence Crawford and Viktor Postol, the staff at Top Rank has begun moving towards putting together the pieces of the undercard.
Viktor Postol and Terence Crawford are universally regarded as the best two super lightweights on the planet, though their exact order is open to debate. At least until July 23. A deal is in place for the pair of unbeaten 140-pound titlists to collide in a title unification bout on that date in Las Vegas, with the winner to gain recognition as the World (lineal) super lightweight champion.
