April 2019 Boxing Schedule: Crawford Headlines MSG, Undisputed Title Fight In Atlantic City

Now that April has arrived, it’s time to take a look at what to watch for in the world of boxing.

Pay-per-view boxing returns for the third time this year as Terence Crawford and Amir Khan head to Madison Square Garden for a clash for the WBO welterweight title. A week later, Srisaket Sor Rungvisai and Juan Francisco Estrada face off in one of the most-highly anticipated super flyweight title rematches in recent memory, headlining a massive DAZN card from Los Angeles.

But before all those fights take place, a new undisputed champion will be crowned as Claressa Shields and Christina Hammer settle their long rivalry with a fight to unify women’s boxing 160-pound division. That fight headlines a Showtime card that will also feature the U.S. pro debut of heavyweight contender Otto Wallin.
