Jake Paul’s backstage celebrations after beating Mike Perry

Terence Crawford will look to make more history tonight, as he fights Israil Madrimov in Los Angeles.

Crawford, arguably boxing’s pound-for-pound No 1, has already held world titles in three weight classes, and he shockingly dismantled Errol Spence Jr last year to become the first man to reign undisputed in two divisions.

Now, the unbeaten “Bud” moves up to super-welterweight to challenge Madrimov, also undefeated, for the WBA title. The vacant WBO interim belt will also be on the line tonight, as the American and the Uzbek collide at the BMO Stadium.

Crawford, 36, has a professional record of 40-0 (31 knockouts), while Madrimov, 29, is 10-0-1 (7 KOs) as a pro. The pair headline a Saudi-staged card in LA, with numerous big names on the undercard.

Andy Ruiz Jr vs Jarrell Miller and Jared Anderson vs Martin Bakole are intriguing heavyweight bouts, while Isaac Cruz and David Morrell are among the others to feature here.

Crawford vs Madrimov LIVE: ‘Bud’s last fight

Crawford last fought 12 months ago – almost to the day – facing Errol Spence Jr in a fight that was five years in the making.

Both Americans entered that bout as welterweight champions and with unbeaten records. Many fans and pundits saw the fight as a 50-50 contest.

But “Bud” dismantled Spence, dropping his fellow southpaw once in round two, twice in round seven, and finishing him in the ninth.

With that, Crawford added the unified titles to his WBO belt, becoming undisputed in a second weight class – the first man to achieve that feat, before Naoya Inoue followed suit later in the year.

Here’s how Spence vs Crawford unfolded:
