Terence Crawford and Julius Indongo will headline another packed night of boxing on ESPN, with a free card available to all. Their super lightweight bout will be a proper unification bout and will crown the top 140-pound fighter in the world. The IBF World, WBA Super World, WBC World and WBO World Super Lightweight championships will be on the line.

Saturday’s card begins at 6:30 p.m. ET with a preliminary card stream on ESPN3. There’s a full list of undercard fights to get through before the ESPN broadcast begins at 10 p.m. That broadcast will also be streamed via WatchESPN and the ESPN App on various devices.

Crawford (31-0, 22 KO) made his name with a series of wins on HBO and he is favored against Namibia’s Indongo. Crawford, in addition to owning the WBC and WBO title, is the Ring Magazine and lineal division champion. Indongo has the WBA and IBF titles, and the winner of Saturday’s bout will hold all of the major titles in this division.

That’s a big deal, as it’s not something that happens often in the sport, given the long list of titles and how difficult it can be to get a match completed.

Indongo (22-0, 11 KO) is somewhat lesser known, but he’s a dangerous opponent for Crawford. He is coming off a big win over Ricky Burns in April, and many believe he has what it takes to really push Crawford.

The ESPN broadcast will also feature Oleksandr Gvozdyk (13-0, 11 KO), an undefeated light heavyweight prospect out of Ukraine. He was a bronze medalist at the 2012 Olympics. He’ll be taking on American Craig Baker, who has only had a single fight in the past two years and is here to make Gvozdyk look good.

Below is the full viewing information for Saturday’s card, as well as a full list of matches.
