Professional career

[edit]

Madrimov vs. Hernandez

[edit]

Madrimov made his professional debut on 24 November 2018, against Vladimir Hernandez at the Hard Rock Live in Atlantic City, New Jersey, with the vacant WBA Inter-Continental super-welterweight title on the line. Madrimov dropped his opponent in round three en route to a sixth-round technical knockout (TKO) victory. At the time of the stoppage, Madrimov was ahead on all three judges' scorecards (50–44, 50–43, 49–45). The fight was part of the undercard for Dmitry Bivol's successful world title defence against Jean Pascal.[7]

Madrimov vs. Rojas

[edit]

Madrimov made the first defence of his title, again on the undercard of a Dmitry Bivol world title fight – this time against Joe Smith Jr. – on 9 March 2019 against Frank Rojas at the Turning Stone Resort & Casino in Verona, New York. Madrimov dropped his opponent in round two with a left hook. Rojas rose to his feet before the referee's count of ten, only to be knocked unconscious moments later with another powerful left hook, giving Madrimov the win via second-round knockout (KO).[8] Two days before the fight it was announced Madrimov's promoters, World of Boxing, had signed a co-promotional deal with Eddie Hearn's Matchroom Boxing USA.[9]

Madrimov vs. Gonzalez

[edit]

Madrimov won via sixth-round TKO over Norberto Gonzalez in June.[10]

Madrimov vs. Barrera

[edit]

Madrimov defended his title for a second time against Alejandro Barrera on 5 October 2019 at Madison Square Garden, New York City, on the undercard of the Gennady Golovkin vs. Sergiy Derevyanchenko world title fight. Madrimov retained his title with a fifth-round TKO.[11]

Madrimov vs. Walker

[edit]

On 15 August 2020, Madrimov fought Eric Walker in the co-main event on a DAZN-televised card in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Madrimov won the fight by unanimous decision, however there was controversy because it appeared that Madrimov had knocked Walker down and out with a legal punch in the 9th round of the fight, but referee Gary Ritter ruled that it was not a knockdown or a knockout, but rather that Madrimov had illegally knocked Walker down with his shoulder. As Walker remained down on the canvas for a minute, telling Ritter that he was dizzy, Ritter implored the fighter to get back up. After a minute, Walker stood up, stumbled into the ropes and then collapsed into the corner. Ritter gave Walker 5 minutes to recover and then restarted the fight, allowing Walker to take further punishment for 2+ rounds. Hall of Fame referee Steve Smoger admonished Ritter after the fight for not ruling a knockdown and subsequent knockout and allowing Walker to take unnecessary punishment afterward. Garry Ritter was criticized by the public for not ruling the fight a knockout in the 9th round, and allowing Walker to take further punishment.[12]

Madrimov vs. Soro

[edit]

On 17 December 2021, Madrimov fought Michel Soro, who was ranked #1 by the WBA at super welterweight, in an eliminator for the WBA super welterweight championship. Madrimov won by technical knockout in the 9th round.[13]

Madrimov vs. Soro II

[edit]

The next bout was a rematch against Soro. A violent clash of heads in the third round cut Soro near the left eye and blood poured on the canvas. After consultation, referee Steve Gray decided to stop the bout and the bout ended in a technical draw.[14]

Madrimov vs. Kurbanov

[edit]

On March 8, 2024 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, Madrimov stopped Magomed Kurbanov in the fifth round and won the vacant WBA super welterweight title.[15]

In Tashkent Israil Madrimov was awarded by the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan. He was handed the keys to a Chevrolet Tahoe.[16]

Madrimov vs. Crawford

[edit]

On April 20, 2024 it was reported that Madrimov would make the first defense of his WBA super welterweight title against Terence Crawford on August 3, 2024 in Los Angeles, CA.[17] He lost the fight by unanimous decision.

Madrimov vs. Bohachuk

[edit]

Madrimov is scheduled to face Serhii Bohachuk on the Oleksandr Usyk vs Tyson Fury 2 undercard at Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on December 21, 2024.[18]
