Terence Crawford becomes WBC welterweight champion in Recess

The WBC Board of governors has voted in favour to accept their WBC welterweight champion, Terence Crawford, to be placed as champion in recess in the welterweight division.

Crawford conquered the WBC World welterweight championship with a spectacular performance knocking out previously undefeated unified champion Errol Spence Jr. on July 29th, 2023.

'Bud' will fight on August 3rd at the BMO Stadium, Los Angeles, California, in the debut promotion of Riyadh Season in the United States.

His upcoming fight will be at super-welterweight against Israil Madrimov.

The WBC Board also voted in favour of officially sanctioning the Crawford vs Madrimov as a final elimination bout for the mandatory position in the super-welterweight division.

Terence will then inform the WBC which division he wishes to compete after the August fight.
