His Excellency Turki Alalshikh is here to transform the sport of boxing and restore it to its former glory! In his latest move, the Saudi Royal has confirmed a three fight card—part of fight week festival for the Riyadh Season event launch in the US. Remember the Terence Crawford vs. Israil Madrimov bout, the new Riyadh Season Card is supposed to happen before that!

The Crawford vs. Madrimov card on August 3rd at BMO Stadium in Los Angeles was stacked to begin with, but His Excellency has taken a page out of boxing tradition to host a three fight card right after the Crawford-Madrimov media workout to hype up the fight week. So, the only question left unanswered is, who is on it?

Pre-Riyadh Season bonanza!

According to a tweet from talkSport editor Michael Benson, the three fight card will be headlined by Marc Castro (12-0, 8 KOs) vs. George Acosta (17-2, 3 KOs) on July 31st at the Santa Monica Pier in Santa Monica, California, live on DAZN. Castro, the unbeaten lightweight prospect, will face the Southern California native in a scheduled ten round fight, which will be Castro’s first main event appearance.

Also on the card, Uzbekistan’s Shakhram Giyasov (15-0, 9 KOs) will lock horns with Mexico’s Miguel Parra (22-4-1, 14 KOs) in a ten round welterweight contest. Not to forget, Nathan Lugo (1-0, 1 KO), who was recently signed by Queensberry Promotions, will face Utah’s Ray Corona (4-1, 0 KOs) in a 10 round super middleweight fight. With that out of the way, here’s the Crawford vs. Madrimov full card!

How to watch Terence Crawford vs. Israil Madrimov?
