The boxing world is abuzz with news that Terence Crawford will be making his return to the ring to face WBA titlist Israil Madrimov at BMO Stadium in Los Angeles on August 3rd. This marks a significant moment as Crawford, the undefeated pound for pound king, will be moving up in weight to fight in the junior middleweight division for the first time. This fight comes after his dominant performance against Errol Spence in a welterweight championship superfight last summer.
For Israil Madrimov, this fight against Crawford is a huge opportunity to make a name for himself in the boxing world. Despite holding the WBA’s world super welterweight title, Madrimov is not a household name like his opponent. However, with a record of 10-0-1 and a recent victory over Magomed Kurbanov to win his belt, Madrimov has shown that he is a force to be reckoned with in the ring. With seven of his wins coming by way of knockout, Madrimov has proven that he has the power to compete at the highest level.
Terence Crawford, on the other hand, boasts an impressive record of 40 wins with zero defeats. He has won world titles in three weight divisions and has defeated notable fighters such as Amir Khan, Shawn Porter, and Errol Spence. Crawford’s skill and experience make him the clear favorite in this matchup, but as we have seen in the world of boxing, anything can happen inside the ring.
In addition to the headline fight between Crawford and Madrimov, the undercard for this event is shaping up to be a star-studded affair. Leo Santa Cruz will be facing Abner Mares for the third time, while former heavyweight champion Andy Ruiz will be making his return to the ring against Jarrell “Big Baby” Miller. Isaac Cruz, fresh off his win over Rolando Romero, will also be in action against Jose Valenzuela. With matchups like these, fight fans are sure to be in for an exciting night of boxing.
As the date for the Crawford-Madrimov fight draws near, anticipation continues to build for what promises to be an action-packed event. While Crawford may be the favorite, Madrimov has shown that he has the skills and power to pull off an upset. With a stacked undercard featuring some of the sport’s biggest names, this night of boxing is one that fans won’t want to miss.
