Dzhambulat Bizhamov exclusively for Telecom Asia Sport
I would really like to have a sparring session with Terence Crawford to learn something new about his techniques, how he moves, and more. In the fight against Israil Madrimov, Crawford could have been more impressive, but Madrimov showcased a high level of performance, he was thoroughly prepared. Despite all the controversy about his victory, he won seven rounds. I watched their fight from start to finish.
For context, the 23-year-old Bizhamov is a silver medalist at the World and European Championships, as well as a three-time champion of Russia. On September 6, he is set to have his second professional fight against Uzbekistan's Bakhromjon Fozilov.
The 36-year-old Crawford was the undisputed champion in the first and second welterweight divisions. On August 3, 2024, the American defeated Uzbek fighter Israil Madrimov to claim the WBO title in a new division.
