LAS VEGAS — A deal has been reached, in principle, to match RING No. 3-rated lightweight Terence Crawford in a defense of his WBO belt opposite Yuriorkis Gamboa on either June 28 or July 12 in Crawford's hometown of Omaha, Neb., Top Rank CEO Bob Arum confirmed on Friday.

The 26-year-old Crawford (23-0, 16 knockouts), was last in the ring for a dominant, title-winning decision over Ricky Burns in Glasgow, Scotland in March.

A former Olympic gold medalist for Cuba, Gamboa (23-0, 16 KOs) was last in action for a unanimous decision over previously unbeaten Darlys Perez in June.

The title fight will be the first in Omaha since heavyweight champion Joe Frazier beat Ron Stander in 1972, according to the Associated Press.
