The pound-for-pound No. 1 boxer in the world will return for the first time in over a year when Terence 'Bud' Crawford moves up a division to challenge WBA super welterweight champion Ismail Madrimov.
Crawford (40-0, 31 KOs) ascended to the top of the pound-for-pound list in July 2023 with a near-flawless victory over Errol Spence Jr. The win made Crawford the undisputed welterweight champion six years after becoming the WBO 147-pound world champion.
Madrimov (10-0-1, 7 KOs) became the WBA super welterweight champion in March with a TKO win over Magomed Kurbanov at the 'Knockout Chaos' event.
