Israil Madrimov and Terence Crawford are getting ready to battle it out in a highly anticipated event at the BMO Stadium in Los Angeles, California. The showdown is set to take place in 32 days from August 3rd. Crawford, who is 36 years old, holds an impressive unbeaten record of 40 wins with 31 knockouts. He is stepping up to the 154-pound weight class to challenge the WBA junior middleweight titleholder, the talented Israil Madrimov, who boasts a record of 10 wins, 0 losses, and 1 draw with 7 knockouts.
Despite facing the challenges of his age, weight class change, and taking on a younger and stronger opponent in Madrimov, Crawford is preparing intensively for the upcoming match. It appears that the fight was arranged by Turki Alalshikh, hinting at a lucrative payday for Crawford and potentially setting the stage for a future showdown against Canelo Alvarez.
This fight holds significant importance for Crawford’s career trajectory, particularly if he has aspirations of securing a bout with Canelo. Madrimov’s fighting style has been likened to Golovkin’s but with additional speed and power, making him a formidable adversary for Crawford. Nevertheless, Crawford is resolute in his determination to confront this challenge and showcase his skills against the emerging star in the division.
The eagerly awaited fight is scheduled to take place on August 3rd, and the boxing community is buzzing with anticipation for this clash between two highly skilled fighters.
