Terence Crawford goes for Canelo Alvarez by beating Israil Madrimov and winning the WBA Super Welterweight title
One of the most outstanding boxers of recent years, Terence Crawford, has achieved an impeccable victory in the main event held in Los Angeles and has taken the courage to challenge the best pound for pound in the world, the Mexican Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez, despite the difference in weight. This happened on a card that included other Mexican boxers who attract attention, such as Isaac ‘Pitbull’ Cruz and Andy Ruiz Jr.
In this way, ‘Bud’ Terence Crawford defeated Israil Madrimov, from Uzbekistan, by unanimous decision in an exciting battle that took place on the ring installed on the court of the BMO Stadium in Los Angeles, California, United States, during the night session of this Saturday, August 3, 2024.

Terence Crawford defeats Israel Madrimov and takes away his unbeaten record.
This is how Terence Crawford has had to reach the limits of his abilities to hurt Madrimov, who put up a lot of resistance. And this is because he is an Uzbek boxer who has never lost in eleven professional fights. However, he faced ‘Bud’ Crawford, who has maintained his undefeated record by venturing into a heavier weight than the one he handles.
In this way, Terence Crawford has won the title in a fourth different weight class in his brilliant career, which has already accumulated 41 victories in the same number of fights, which keeps him as one of the best.
And this is precisely what has led Crawford to think that it is possible to face the outstanding Mexican champion, Canelo Álvarez, in an intriguing fight that could take place soon, regardless of the different categories they currently manage.

Canelo Alvarez will think about Terence Crawford once he fights Edgar Berlanga.
The above is relevant since the organizer of the boxing evening at the BMO Stadium, the Arab sheikh, His Excellency, Turki Alalshikh, has revealed in the ring and with a microphone in hand that he wants to make the fight between Saúl ‘Canelo’ Álvarez and ‘Bud’ Terence Crawford happen.
In fact, it has also been reported that it would be next February 2025 when Álvarez and Crawford would fight in a venue to be defined, which would be Las Vegas, Dubai, Saudi Arabia, or Abu Dhabi.
We can only wait to see what happens in the match that Canelo Álvarez will have against Edgar Berlanga next September of this year to find out what plans he will have and which opponent he will choose to continue dominating world boxing as the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world.
