Undefeated two-division undisputed world champion Terence “Bud” Crawford will go up another weight class to challenge the WBA 154-pound champion Israil Madrimov in one of the most stacked boxing events of the year.
Crawford (40-0, 31 KOs) of Omaha, Nebraska is widely considered the best pound for pound boxer in the world, and after unifying all the belts at welterweight by stopping the feared Errol Spence Jr. he decided there is nothing left to prove in that division and wants to conquer light middleweight next.
Madrimov (10-0-1, 7 KOs), of Uzbekistan, is a relative unknown in the mainstream, but that will only motivate him more because he enjoys being counted out. He will have extra motivation because he will have the chance to make a name for himself against the best fighter in the world and if he wins it will make the boxing world take notice.
