LOS ANGELES, Calif. (AP) - Terence Crawford, the consensus best pound-for-pound boxer in the world, will defend his WBO welterweight title against undefeated challenger Israil Madrimov at the Diriyah Arena in Saudi Arabia on Saturday, August 3, 2024.
Crawford (40-0, 31 KOs) is one of the most dominant fighters in boxing, having won world titles in four different weight classes. He is known for his exceptional skills, including his speed, power, and footwork.
Madrimov (10-0-1, 6 KOs) is a rising star in the boxing world. He is a former amateur standout who won a silver medal at the 2016 Olympics. He has looked impressive in his professional career, winning all of his fights by either knockout or decision.
The Crawford-Madrimov fight is expected to be a close and competitive matchup. Crawford is the more experienced fighter, but Madrimov is younger and has a lot of potential. It will be interesting to see who comes out on top in this highly anticipated fight.
