American Terence Crawford will become the absolute junior middleweight world champion, Russian boxer Artur Subkhankulov told .
On Sunday night, Crawford defeated Israil Madrimov of Uzbekistan by unanimous decision to win the WBA junior middleweight belt. Crawford became the champion in the fourth weight class. He previously held the lightweight title and was also the undisputed world champion at junior welterweight and welterweight. Crawford has 41 victories in the professional ring. This was the first time since July 2016 that an American fought the entire match.
“I’m not surprised by the result, but I am surprised by the quality of Madrimov’s boxing. He fought a very competitive fight against, in my opinion, the best boxer in the world. Crawford always misses the extra shots, but he makes them. And it always works at a high level. I believe Crawford will become the absolute world champion in the junior middleweight division. I think he will sort everyone out there.
