Crawford's Fight Officially Announced

Matchroom Boxing has announced a major show set for August 3rd in Los Angeles, USA.

The main event of the evening will feature a match between the WBA, WBC, and WBO welterweight (up to 66,68 kg) champion Terence Crawford (40-0, 31 KOs) and the WBA super welterweight (up to 69,85 kg) champion Israil Madrimov (10-0-1, 7 KOs). In addition to Madrimov's WBA belt, the WBO interim championship title will also be at stake.

Currently, Sebastian Fundora holds the full WBO title but is unable to box until at least September due to a nose injury sustained in his fight against Tim Tszyu. The WBO has also mandated that Fundora meet the winner of the Madrimov-Crawford match. If Sebastian is unable to do so, he will be stripped of the WBO title, and either Crawford or Madrimov will become the full champion of the organization.
