Super-welterweight Terrence Crawford is set to fight Israil Madrimov – WBA and WBO interim World Super-Welterweight champ on August 3, 2024 in BMO Stadium – a Soccer-specific stadium in Los Angeles, California.
Crawford will move up to 154 pounds to clash Madrimov for his WBA junior middleweight title. This is halfway to Canelo Alvarez – the super middleweight undisputed champ of the world.
However, undisputed heavyweight Oleksandr Usyk wants to see Crawford beating Canelo. It can be recalled that Usyk smashed Tyson Fury just recently.
Usyk claims that Crawford can beat Canelo because of his skills. “He fights out of two sides [stances] right and left [southpaw and orthodox].
“He is a very smart man and feels the distance and space.” Usyk revealed.
Usyk added that Canelo is big but Crawfrod fights like a big guy.
The undercards fights are: Isaac Cruz vs. Jose Valenzuela – WBA Super-Lightweight title defense Andy Ruiz vs. Jarrell Miller – Heavyweight bout Tim Tszyu vs. Vergil Ortiz Jr (subject to confirmation) David Morrell vs. Radivoje Kalajdzic – Light-Heavyweight bout Andy Cruz vs. Antonio Moran – Lightweight bout.
