Terence Crawford is gearing up for his big fight against Israil Madrimov by bringing in undefeated boxing legend Andre Ward for special sparring sessions.

Crawford, known as 'Bud,' is set to challenge Madrimov for the WBA super-welterweight world title on August 3 in Los Angeles. This fight marks Crawford's debut in the new weight class after his impressive victory over Errol Spence in July 2023.

Initially, a rematch with Spence was planned, but it fell through when Spence needed cataract surgery on his right eye. With Spence sidelined, Crawford decided to move up in weight to take on Madrimov, who won the title in March by defeating Magomed Kurbanov.

To prepare for this tough match, Crawford has enlisted the help of Andre Ward, a former world champion who retired undefeated. Ward shared a video on social media showing him and Crawford sparring in Crawford's home gym. 

Fans praised the collaboration, calling it a smart move for Crawford. Ward, known as the 'Son of God,' retired in 2017 with a perfect 32-0 record. 


He held the WBA, IBF, and WBO light-heavyweight titles and was a top super-middleweight champion, with significant wins over fighters like Sergey Kovalev, Carl Froch, and Mikkel Kessler.


Crawford's decision to train with Ward shows his dedication to winning the upcoming fight and solidifying his status as one of boxing's best.
