Promoter Eddie Hearn is confident that WBA junior middleweight champion Israil Madrimov will score a knockout victory in his title defense against Terence Crawford on August 3rd at the BMO Stadium in Los Angeles. Hearn sees this fight as a stepping stone for Madrimov to reach superstardom, potentially leading to success on DAZN and ESPN+ PPV.
While Crawford boasts an unbeaten record of 40-0 and is viewed as nearly invincible by many boxing fans, Madrimov’s power and unique style present a formidable challenge. Madrimov, though lacking one-punch knockout ability, possesses the skills to surprise Crawford.
If Madrimov emerges victorious against both Crawford and Canelo Alvarez in the future, tougher tests at higher weight divisions could be on the horizon. For now, Madrimov is fully focused on his upcoming showdown with Crawford, aiming to showcase his talents in the ring and progress in his boxing journey.
