Uzbek boxer Israil Madrimov faced American Terence Crawford in the main event of the night at the "BMO Stadium" arena, which has a capacity of 22,000 spectators in Los Angeles, USA, on August 3, aiming to enter the P4P ranking. Madrimov was defeated by the legendary Crawford last night in California.

The WBA belt and the vacant WBO first middleweight belt were on the line, and Crawford emerged victorious.

"He has won almost all his fights by knockout. I believe I fought a decent fight to the end, and I won. I want a rematch. I controlled the fight, and everyone saw it. I will continue to participate in this manner from now on. Indeed, he is the best boxer in the world. I had 10 fights. But I think I fought a worthy fight. Thanks to everyone who supported me," said Israil Madrimov after the fight with Crawford.

The American boxer has won 31 of his 40 fights by knockout. Madrimov lost on points in a closely contested fight with Crawford.
