In an extraordinary turn of events, the iconic Santa Monica Pier will host its inaugural professional boxing matches at the end of this month, immediately following Terence Crawford’s public workout.On Wednesday, July 31, American boxing sensation Terence Crawford will conduct his customary fight week workout in preparation for his bout against Israil Madrimov on Saturday, August 3. This event, however, will be unique.
In the co-main event, Shakhram Giyasov, an undefeated Uzbek welterweight contender with a 15-0 record, will take on Miguel Parra. Giyasov is on a quest for a world title and looks to solidify his position as a top contender. The event will kick off with a bout between Nathan Lugo and Ray Corona. Lugo, a newly signed super-middleweight prospect with a 1-0 record, has recently joined Frank Warren’s promotional powerhouse, Queensberry Promotions. His impressive amateur career has set high expectations for his professional journey.“I feel very honoured coming straight out of the amateurs and immediately stepping into a powerhouse promotional company such as Queensberry” Lugo stated.
This historic event promises to be a memorable evening for boxing fans and a significant milestone for the Santa Monica Pier, marking its debut as a professional boxing venue. With a lineup of emerging talent, the night is set to deliver high-octane action and showcase the future stars of the sport.
