On Saturday, August 3rd, boxing enthusiasts have something special to look forward to. Undefeated Terence Crawford (40-0, 31 KOs) is set to go head-to-head with Israil Madrimov (10-0-1, 7 KOs) at BMO Stadium in Los Angeles.
Crawford, a former undisputed champion in two weight classes, is stepping up to the 154-pound division to challenge Madrimov for the WBA junior middleweight title. This matchup headlines a fight card that includes WBA super lightweight champion Isaac “Pitbull” Cruz defending his title against Jose Valenzuela, former heavyweight champ Andy Ruiz taking on Jarrell Miller, and a performance by Eminem.
This event is part of “Riyadh Season,” making its debut in the U.S. thanks to the efforts of His Excellency Turki Alalshikh, who aims to share the excitement of Riyadh’s cultural festival with a global audience.
Terence Crawford is a fitting choice for the main event, given his impressive streak of knockout wins and his recent appearance on WWE Smackdown in Omaha, Nebraska. Meanwhile, Andy Ruiz, hailing from nearby Imperial, California, squares off against Jarrell Miller in a highly anticipated showdown following Ruiz’s memorable upset victory over Anthony Joshua.
The fight card promises action-packed bouts and showcases the talents of many skilled fighters. Madrimov’s supporters are hopeful for a triumph that could put Uzbekistan on the map in the boxing world.
As Los Angeles becomes the epicenter of the boxing universe for this event, fans are eagerly awaiting the fights and the possibility of witnessing new champions rise to the occasion.
