On August 3 at the BMO Stadium in Los Angeles, California, His Excellency Turki Alalshikh, chairman of the board of directors of the General Entertainment Authority (GEA), will present a great card headlined by pound-for-pound superstar Terence Crawford facing the tough Uzbek Israil Madrimov.
Crawford (40-0, 31 KOs), will have his first fight at super welterweight, coming into this bout after achieving an impressive victory by KO over Errol Spence, to be crowned undisputed champion at 147 pounds. The Omaha star has already dominated super lightweight and lightweight, and now he’s setting out to cement his greatness by claiming honors at 154 pounds.
Madrimov (10-0-1, 7 KOs) is the opponent standing in Crawford’s way, and the Uzbek champion will have the most difficult fight of his career, having defeated Magomed Kurbanov last March.
In another fight, the recently crowned super lightweight champion Isaac Cruz will face the American southpaw José Valenzuela.
Also, two of the most fearsome heavyweights in the United States will take to the ring. Andy Ruiz will return to fight for the first time, since a unanimous decision victory against Luis Ortiz in September 2022, to face Jarrell Miller, who is looking to achieve a winning result after losing undefeated status in Riyadh in December of last year.
