Eddie Hearn confirms Ricky Burns, Terence Crawford February bout

Promoter Eddie Hearn has confirmed that Ricky Burns will go toe-to-toe with American Terence Crawford in February.

The 30-year-old will defend his WBO lightweight title against the unbeaten Crawford in Glasgow in three months' time.

Hearn wrote on Twitter: "Delighted to confirm we have agreed terms with @trboxing for @ricksterko to face @budcrawford402 in Glasgow in February."

Burns has not fought since breaking his jaw in a draw with Raymundo Beltran in September.
