The biggest day in Australian combat sports history will see Jeff Horn attempt to defend his WBO welterweight title against Terrence Crawford. The main event is scheduled to start at around 12:30pm (AEST), with the bout held at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.
Horn won the title against Manny Pacquaio last year, with the victory widely regarded as the best in Australian boxing history. Still, a victory here will pursuit Horn to stardom, while a loss will leave him at a potential dead end.
The main card is a somewhat small one, with only two fights, however, the undercard will feature six fights and gets underway at 8:30am (AEST), with TV coverage kicking in at 10pm (AEST).
