Crawford in Horn sights

JEFF Horn is set for his biggest test yet after the WBO welterweight champion’s camp agreed to key terms for a fight against Terence Crawford.

An official announcement could come as early as next week for the April 21 clash with the unbeaten American – widely regarded as one of the world’s best pound- for-pound boxers – at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

Horn’s trainer Glenn Rushton said he was satisfied with the renegotiated purse and said all that was left was signing contracts.

“As far as we’re concerned, it’s pretty much a deal,” Rushton said. “But no deal’s done until it’s done, so we just have to cross t’s, dot i’s and actually get this thing locked down. We have certainly agreed on all the key terms.”

Horn and Rushton had considered meeting Anthony Mundine first but ducking Crawford’s mandatory challenge would have meant vacating his WBO belt.
