WBA, WBC and WBO welterweight champion Terence Crawford told what he expects from his upcoming fight against Israil Madrimov, which will take place on August 3.
MMA Fighting quotes Crawford as saying:
Like I said in the past, every fight can be my toughest fight. I don't know until I step in the ring. Israil is definitely a tough opponent, we're not taking him lightly, we never took any shortcuts on this fight and we shall see.
