Eddie Hearn is making bold claims about the upcoming "Riyadh Season" boxing event in Los Angeles, describing it as the biggest night in U.S. boxing history.
This grand event, scheduled for August 3 at BMO Stadium, features a star-studded lineup of fights and a special performance by Eminem.
The main event will see Terence Crawford take on Israil Madrimov.
The undercard is equally compelling, featuring fights between Andy Ruiz and Jarrell "Big Baby" Miller, Jared Anderson and Martin Bakole, and "Pitbull" Cruz and Jose Valenzuela.
Hearn emphasized the depth and quality of these matchups, attributing the impressive lineup to the financial backing from Saudi Arabia.
"It's the biggest night of boxing I think America's ever seen,"
Hearn told Babcock on the "TMZ Sports" TV show.
Adding to the excitement, 15-time Grammy-winning rapper Eminem will perform some of his biggest hits.
The iconic artist recently dropped a new album, making his appearance even more anticipated.
This event marks Terence Crawford's return to the ring after his dominant victory over Errol Spence in July 2023.
Crawford, who is moving up a weight class from 147 to 153 pounds, faces a significant challenge against the undefeated Israil Madrimov. Hearn believes this fight could be Crawford's toughest yet.
"Terrence going up. Israel is a young guy, undefeated, hasn't lost. I mean, is this the toughest challenge for Terrence? Yeah, I think it's a big banana skin, to be honest with you,"
Hearn said.
Hearn respects Crawford's legacy and acknowledges the difficulty of continually moving up weight classes. He sees Madrimov as a potentially stronger opponent due to his size and youth.
As the boxing world eagerly awaits this historic event, fans can look forward to an unforgettable night of high-stakes matchups and top-tier entertainment. With such a loaded card and a performance from Eminem, August 3 is set to be a landmark date in U.S. boxing history.
