Isroil Madrimov could fight on Fury vs. Usyk undercard

Uzbek professional boxer Isroil Madrimov might have his next fight in December of this year, according to "Boxingnews 24."

Madrimov's promoter, Eddie Hearn, revealed that Turki Al Ash-Sheikh is interested in having Madrimov fight on December 21 at the Kingdom Arena complex in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The main event of the evening will feature a bout between Ukrainian Oleksandr Usyk and British fighter Tyson Fury.

Hearn noted that Turki Al Ash-Sheikh contacted him and Madrimov, expressing his desire to include Madrimov on the card scheduled for December 21.

Eddie Hearn also mentioned a potential fight between Canelo Alvarez and Terence Crawford.

“Crawford only wants to fight Canelo Alvarez. No one else is of interest to him. He is not considering a fight with Virgil Ortiz either. Madrimov will not be his next opponent. Terence definitely won’t fight Jaron Ennis. Who else is there? Sebastian Fundora? No, Crawford is looking for a big-money fight. He is focused solely on Saul Alvarez (Canelo),” said Hearn.

For reference, Uzbek boxer Isroil Madrimov faced American Terence Crawford in a high-profile bout on August 3 at the BMO Stadium arena in Los Angeles, which has a capacity of 22,000. Madrimov lost to the legendary Crawford by points (115-113, 115-113, 116-112) in their most recent match.

Earlier, Isroil Madrimov was ranked alongside the legendary Crawford in The Ring rating.
