LOS ANGELES – Terence Crawford loves to challenge himself and does not like to lose.
Few fighters like him have that mindset, but that combination has worked thus far.
The unbeaten Crawford outboxed and defeated Israil Madrimov by close unanimous decision atop Saturday’s DAZN Pay-Per-View event from BMO Stadium. Crawford (41-0, 31 knockouts) won by scores of 115-113, 115-113, and 116-112, and claimed the WBA junior middleweight title.
With that feat, Crawford is now a four-division titlist.
