Stronger than Madrimov: Crawford Names Three Former Opponents

Newly crowned WBA and interim WBO super welterweight champion (up to 69.9 kg) Terence Crawford (41-0, 31 KOs) responded to the question of whether the fight against Israil Madrimov (10-1-1, 7 KOs) was the toughest in his career.

"I wouldn't say it was my toughest fight. I think the bout with Egidijus Kavaliauskas was tougher than this. I think Gamboa was a harder fight than this. I think the fight with Benavidez was a tougher fight than this. Back then, I was able to knock out my opponents, but those fights were tough in themselves," said Crawford.

On the night of August 4 in Los Angeles, USA, Terence Crawford defeated Israil Madrimov by unanimous decision, becoming a champion in his fourth weight division.
