WBA super welterweight champion Israil Madrimov looks to make a name for himself when he defends his title against Terence Crawford. The interim WBO belt is also on the line on a fight card hosted by Riyadh Season.
Madrimov (10-0-1) dismantled Magomed Kurbanov in March to win WBA gold. The Uzbek won over 300 amateur fights and has fought stiff competition since turning pro. "The Dream" has won all but three fights via knockout.
Crawford (40-0) is one of two male fighters to become undisputed in two divisions. “Bud” last fought a year ago, decimating Errol Spence Jr. to become king of the welterweights. He looks to take over the 154-pound division.
The pound-for-pound star has shown interest in fighting undisputed super middleweight king Canelo Alvarez. However, Madrimov, the underdog in the fight, is ready to crash the party and insert himself in the Canelo sweepstakes.

“Everyone’s dream is to fight the biggest name fighters, and I’m thinking about the task ahead of me, Terence Crawford. I see all the talk, and people are talking about Canelo-Crawford. Maybe it’s time to talk about Madrimov-Canelo,” Madrimov told Ringside Intel via Boxing News 24. “After the fight, I will look for the biggest fights. The opportunity to fight Canelo is a special one. I would love that one right after Crawford.
