Pound-for-pound great Terence Crawford has once again been linked with a showdown with the unbeaten Jaron Ennis.
The 38-year-old from Omaha wrote his name into the boxing history books last month when he defeated Mexican superstar Canelo Alvarez via unanimous decision to capture the undisputed super-middleweight championship.
Crawford became the first male fighter in the history of the sport to capture an undisputed crown in three separate weight divisions, having previously achieved this feat at super-lightweight and welterweight respectively.
As rumours begin to circulate about what could be next for ‘Bud’, one fighter that reportedly remains interested in a showdown with the pound-for-pound superstar is former unified world welterweight champion ‘Boots’ Ennis.
Speaking after his victory over Canelo, Crawford was asked if there was any possibility that he could drop back down in weight to allow a clash with Ennis to happen in the near future.
“No. I ain’t going down to 154.”
Crawford had a brief spell at super-welterweight back in August of 2024 when he dethroned former WBA world champion Israil Madrimov, defeating the Uzbek star via unanimous decision in Los Angeles.
Ennis recently made his debut at 154lbs having spent the majority of his career to date campaigning at welterweight, where he held the WBA and IBF world titles until August.
The 28-year-old from Philadelphia stopped Portugal’s Uisma Lima in the opening round of their bout on October 11, capturing the ‘vacant’ WBA interim super-welterweight title in the process.
