Mike Tyson, James Harden, Vince Vaughn, and Other Celebs Who Witnessed Terence Crawford’s Historic Win as He Goes the Distance for First Time Since 2016

The main fight of the Riyadh Season Card was an attention grabber for the entire world. Boxing fans were keen on watching Terence Crawford, the two-division undisputed champion, perform at a higher weight class, and it was his maiden fight in the super welterweight division. Now that the results are in, ‘Bud’ has emerged as the world champion in four divisions. But it’s important to note, this is the first time since 2016 that he has gone the distance. So kudos to Israil Madrimov for giving a tough fight to him! Celebrities from all around the US and abroad traveled to Los Angeles to attend this magnificent event, making it a star-studded affair.

Let’s just start with who was expected to be present at the BMO Stadium for a live performance. It’s none other than ‘Sim Shady’ – Eminem. The rap legend made the entire venue go crazy with his electrifying performance just before Crawford’s fight with Madrimov. He was then spotted sitting next to His Excellency Turki Alalshikh who deserves much of the credit to orchestrate this one-of-a-kind boxing event. 

Then there was Mike Tyson, the former heavyweight champion who regularly attends nearly all the main boxing matches. And why wouldn’t he? Even now, as the most active boxer of the 1990s, no one has the same following and relevance as ‘Iron Mike’. Just a row or two behind him, legendary Mexican boxer Julio Cesar Chavez Sr. was also present to watch the fights. The crowd burst into applause upon seeing the former champion. 

Roberto Duran and Oscar De La Hoya, two former world champions, were there and even summoned into the ring to witness the induction of His Excellency Turki Alalshikh as the first-ever honorary inductee of the Nevada Boxing Hall of Fame. Furthermore, lightweight rivals Vasyl Lomachenko and Shakur Stevenson were seen ringside, who even got into a verbal brawl after the main event. 

Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis, who has been chasing a fight with ‘Bud’ in an attempt to win all the belts in the welterweight division, was present at the venue as well. Other boxers, like Teofimo Lopez and Devin Haney, had also come to watch this mega showdown. 

A blend of sports, music, and films

Numerous celebrities from the entertainment business graced the Riyadh Season card. Music artists like Akon and Alicia Keys were spotted in the audience. Actors including Vince Vaughn, Kate Beckinsale, Anthony Anderson, and Jeremy Piven turned up to the stadium to see the exciting fights. TV personality Piers Morgan also made an appearance as the boxers took it out in the ring. 

James Harden and Scottie Pippen from the NBA fraternity marked their presence for the fight night as well. There were many other notable people who made it to the BMO Stadium for the big event. Meanwhile, whom were you most excited to see? Share it in the comments section below.
