Terence Crawford vs. Israil Madrimov: Full fight card, date, streaming, how to watch, venue and more
The much-awaited Terence Crawford vs. Israil Madrimov fight is set to headline a stacked boxing card this week. Crawford, who is considered to be one of the very best pugilists in the world, will be moving up in weight to take on Madrimov for the latter's world title.
Crawford's previous fight trip to the ring saw him defeat Errol Spence Jr. via ninth-round TKO in their title unification showdown in July 2023. 'Bud' became the undisputed welterweight champion. He previously reigned as the undisputed champion at super lightweight too.
Madrimov, meanwhile, defeated Magomed Kurbanov via fifth-round TKO to win the vacant WBA super welterweight title in March 2024.
Crawford has held world championships in three separate weight classes namely lightweight, super lightweight, and welterweight thus far. On the contrary, Madrimov has won a world title in one weight division, which is super welterweight.
The Terence Crawford vs. Israil Madrimov fight will have Madrimov's WBA super welterweight title and the vacant WBO interim super welterweight title at stake. Their 12-round matchup will headline a boxing card at the BMO Stadium in Los Angeles, California, USA, on Saturday, Aug. 3, 2024.
The event will be streamed live on DAZN for viewers in over 200 countries. It starts at 4:30 pm ET on Saturday (Aug. 3, 2024) in the United States of America. That would mean a start time of 9:30 pm BST on Saturday (Aug. 3, 2024) in the United Kingdom.
The main event walkouts are expected to commence around 11:30 pm ET on Saturday (Aug. 3, 2024) in the US and 4:30 am on Sunday (Aug. 4, 2024) in the UK. The aforementioned main event timings could differ based on how the rest of the card plays out.
