Terence Crawford to Face Israil Madrimov for WBA Light-Middleweight Title in Fourth Weight Class Challenge

Terence Crawford, the undefeated American boxer, is set to face WBA light-middleweight champion Israil Madrimov in a highly anticipated bout on August 3 in Los Angeles. Crawford, who has already held world titles in three different weight divisions, is aiming to make history by winning a world title at a fourth weight class.

After his impressive victory over Errol Spence last July to become the undisputed welterweight champion, Crawford is now moving up to the 154lbs weight class to challenge Madrimov. The 36-year-old fighter is confident in his abilities, stating, “I cannot wait to get back in the ring in my fourth weight class and remind the world why I’m the best pound for pound fighter in the world.”

Madrimov, on the other hand, is looking forward to the opportunity to face Crawford, whom he considers one of the best boxers in the world. With 10 wins and one draw to his name, Madrimov is determined to make a statement in this upcoming fight.

The undercard for the event will feature former unified heavyweight champion Andy Ruiz, who will be returning to the ring for the first time since his win against Luis Ortiz in September 2022. Ruiz will be facing Jarrell Miller, who is looking to bounce back from his defeat to Daniel Dubois in December last year.

This event marks the first time that Riyadh Season will be hosting a boxing card outside of Saudi Arabia, adding to the excitement surrounding the Crawford vs. Madrimov showdown. Boxing fans can also look forward to watching Lauren Price in her first world title fight against Jessica McCaskill and the undisputed heavyweight world title clash between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk live on Sky Sports.

Don’t miss out on this action-packed event as Crawford and Madrimov go head-to-head in a battle for the WBA light-middleweight title. It’s sure to be a night of thrilling boxing action that fans won’t want to miss.
