Fight Week begins Monday and all the activities will be open to the public. Undefeated two-division world champion and the reigning Fighter of the Year, Terence “Bud” Crawford (26-0, 18 KOs), Omaha’s favorite son, is eight days away from his homecoming defense of his World Boxing Organization (WBO) junior welterweight title against one-time world title challenger and current No. 6 world-rated contender, Dierry “Dougy Style” Jean (29-1, 20 KOs), a native of Port-au-Prince, Haiti, who now fights out of Montréal, Québec, Canada. Crawford vs. Jean takes place Saturday, October 24, at CenturyLink Center Omaha and will be televised live on HBO World Championship Boxing, beginning at 9:30 p.m. ET/PT.
The two warriors boast a near-perfect combined record of 55-1 (38 KOs) — a winning ratio of 98% with nearly 70% of those victories coming by way of knockout.
