Terence ‘Bud’ Crawford takes on Israil Madrimov August 3rd in LA and has had a laugh at promoter Eddie Hearn this week:
(Fight Hype YouTube – hat tip)
Crawford took out Errol Spence by TKO in 2023.
Patient, calm, took him into deep water and then some, and drowned him, basically.
This a more low key fight first up in 2024 but still a test.

As for the laugh at Hearn, indeed, yes, Hearn has made a real mess and dogs dinner of the US wasting hundreds of millions of dollars.
That said, he and Hall of Famer Warren doing great things in Saudi Arabia at the moment – a nation in direct competition with America more than ever to win boxing over, and boxing fans’ hearts.
Saudi Arabia vs America is great competition for boxing, no doubt about it.
Saudi vs USA at the top of world boxing in terms of nations putting on the biggest, best fights – who will win?
Time will tell.
Saudi doing great things at the moment — and have the upper hand.
