Terence Crawford will face Israil Madrimov for the WBA junior middleweight title on Saturday, Aug 3, at BMO Stadium in Los Angeles. The fight, which will also decide the WBO interim title, will be broadcast live on ESPN+ PPV and DAZN PPV starting at 6 p.m. ET.
Crawford, with an unbeaten record of 40-0 (31 KOs), is stepping up to junior middleweight after a stellar career as a two-division undisputed champion. His last fight saw him dominate Errol Spence Jr. in July 2023, where he scored a ninth-round TKO at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, unifying all four major welterweight titles. This match against Madrimov presents a new challenge as Crawford seeks to establish his dominance in a third weight class.
Madrimov, a rising star in the division, brings his own impressive record to the fight. Known for his power and agility, Madrimov will be defending his WBA title against one of boxing's pound-for-pound best. The bout is expected to be a high-stakes, action-packed contest between two elite fighters.
