Canelo Alvarez confronted promoter Eddie Hearn about his name being used throughout the Terence Crawford vs. Israil Madrimov promotion as a potential mega-fight for Terence. To his credit, Hearn admitted that they had to use Canelo’s name to help sell the Crawford-Madrimov fight last Saturday night on PPV at the BMO Stadium in Los Angeles. Still, it was low to use Mexican star Canelo’s name as a tool to help a fighter that can’t sell.

Deontay Wilder’s current plight shows no signs of improvement following a knockout loss to Zhilei Zhang in June and troubles in his family life. The former heavyweight champion’s 2024 got off to the worst start possible when Wilder returned home from Saudi Arabia, having lost to another fighter not named Tyson Fury. Joseph Parker scored a decision win over Wilder in Riyadh to inflict a third career reverse on the American slugger.

Los Angeles, CA

LOS ANGELES — Terence Crawford and his team are considering their options at super welterweight after passing a tough 154-pound test Saturday against Israil Madrimov. Those options don’t necessarily include a prospective super fight with Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez, which has long been rumored to be a fantasy fight of renowned dealmaker Turki Alalshikh.

Two mainstays of the Premier Boxing Champions (PBC) stable have yet to fight in 2024 but want to return to the ring. Jermall Charlo, the former junior middleweight and middleweight titleholder, last fought in November, returning from a 29-month layoff with a win over Jose Benavidez Jr. He has reportedly struggled with mental health and legal issues outside of the ring.

Promoter Eddie Hearn went on a classic rant, reacting to his fighter, Israil Madrimov losing his WBA Junior middleweight title to Terence Crawford by a questionable twelve round unanimous decision on Saturday night in a fight that easily could have gone their way at the BMO Stadium in Los Angeles.

Terence Crawford believes that he's had tougher fights than Israil Madrimov after edging past the Uzbek to claim a junior middleweight belt. Crawford took on Madrimov at the BMO Stadium in Los Angeles (August 3) in an attempt to conquer a fourth weight division after previously holding titles from lightweight up to welterweight. Crawford was successful in dethroning Madrimov, with the judges making him a narrow winner (115-113 twice and 116-112).

Boxer Terence Crawford Cements Legacy With Latest Win

The Associated Press

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Terence Crawford, the consensus best pound-for-pound boxer in the world, defeated Israil Madrimov by unanimous decision on Saturday night to become a four-division champion.  Crawford won the WBA super welterweight title in his first fight at 154 pounds, taking it 116-112, 115-113 and 115-113 on the judges’ scorecards. Crawford (41-0, 31 KOs) had not fought since he stopped Errol Spence Jr. in July 2023 to become the undisputed welterweight champion. He has also won titles at super lightweight and lightweight. The victory could set up a fight between Crawford and Canelo Alvarez, the reigning 168-pound champion.

Canelo Alvarez and Edgar Berlanga had their first presser as they prepare for their September 14 fight. The bout takes place on Mexican Independence Day Weekend as Alvarez defends his WBC, WBO, and WBA belts. He was stripped of his IBF belt after failing to face his mandatory William Scull. Alvarez enters the fight with a win over Jaimie Munguia. Now that he is no longer undisputed, the David Benavidez fight appears unlikely. The Mexican Monster will stay at 175.
