The Riyadh Season will land in Los Angeles in one month’s time for one of its most anticipated events, which will feature Israil Madrimov vs. Terence Crawford for the World Boxing Association (WBA) super welterweight title on August 3. 

The BMO Stadium, home of Los Angeles F.C., will host this great event organized by the Riyadh Season and which has been an initiative of the President of the General Entertainment Authority and Royal Advisor to the Court of Saudi Arabia, Turki Alalshikh.
