Terence Crawford will attempt to become a four-division boxing champion this weekend when he takes on Israil Madrimov in Los Angeles in the first U.S. bout of the Saudi Arabia-sponsored Riyadh season. Crawford, an undisputed welterweight champion, previously held the lightweight and super lightweight titles. The two men will fight for the super welterweight title in Saturday’s boxing match.
Uzbekistan’s Madrimov, 29, who is currently undefeated (10-0-1, with 7 KOs), is the WBA junior middleweight champion. Crawford, who is 36, has a 40-0 record with 31 KOs. For added punch, the fight will also feature entertainment from Eminem, who is a notable fan of Crawford. The rapper is tentatively scheduled to perform following the WBA super lightweight title fight between Isaac Cruz and Jose Valenzuela, which is scheduled to tip off shortly before 11 p.m. ET.
