Terence Crawford Returns to the Ring to Face Israil Madrimov for WBA Super Welterweight Title

Terence Crawford, the reigning undisputed welterweight champion, is set to make his highly anticipated return to the ring on August 3 as he takes on WBA super welterweight champion Israil Madrimov. The fight, which is part of Riyadh Season and will be held in Los Angeles, is expected to air on DAZN worldwide.

Crawford, who is widely regarded as the top pound-for-pound fighter in the world, has not fought since becoming the undisputed welterweight champion in 2023. After leaving Top Rank and becoming his own promoter, Crawford secured a historic victory over Errol Spence Jr. to claim the IBF, WBA, WBC, and Ring belts.

Now, Crawford is looking to add another title to his collection as he moves up to the super welterweight division to take on Madrimov. The interim WBO super welterweight title will also be on the line in what promises to be an electrifying showdown between two elite fighters.

Madrimov, a two-time gold medalist at the amateur level, turned pro in 2018 and has quickly risen through the ranks to become the WBA super welterweight champion. With seven wins via knockout in his professional career, Madrimov poses a formidable challenge for Crawford.

The fight card is stacked with exciting matchups, including Vergil Ortiz Jr. vs. Tim Tszyu and David Morrell vs. Radivoje Kalajdzic. Fans can expect a night of thrilling action as some of the best fighters in the world step into the ring.
