Terence Crawford vs Amir Khan fight prediction, undercard, LIVE stream, UK start time and betting odds

Amir Khan faces another potentially career-defining fight as he takes on one of boxing’s best pound-for-pound fighters in Terence Crawford.

As he did in 2016 when he stepped up to challenge middleweight king Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez, Khan rolls the dice once again in his attempts to return to boxing’s elite ranks.

The Bolton fighter, now reunited with former trainer Virgil Hunter, rejected the chance to take on long-term rival Kell Brook, instead opting to challenge for Crawford’s WBO title.

Khan has been eager for a meeting with one of the welterweight’s truly elite names, seeing his past pursuits of lucrative bouts against Floyd Mayweather Jnr and Manny Pacquiao fall by the wayside.

In Crawford, he finally has that fight and another chance to prove he belongs in boxing’s top bracket.

Prediction

Khan is out to prove it isn’t too late for him to join the welterweight elite.

The time for that may have already passed, however, and against a truly world class operator in Crawford, victory will likely be out of his reach.

Crawford to win via a late stoppage.
