Terence Crawford Established himself as the world’s best pound-for-pound boxer in his superfight with canelo alvarez …but promoter eddie hern Believes there is someone out there who has the ability to defeat Bud — Jaron “Boots” Ennis,
tmz sports The legendary Matchroom Boxing promoter spoke with Eddie just days before the 28-year-old, undefeated fighter takes over uisma lima Saturday night in front of their hometown fans in Philadelphia.
While Saturday’s fight is important for several reasons – including Boots, 34-0 (with 30 KOs), moving up in weight to 154 pounds. For the first time ever – Eddie is also looking at several big potential future matches.
“Obviously, my job is to make my fighters champions, but I have confidence in Boots, we have the number one pound for pound in the sport over the next four, five, six years. He’s still a young guy. I mean, he’s 10 years younger than Terence Crawford, but this is a guy who has unified the 147 pound division and this Saturday, he moves on to fight for the interim world title at 154. grows,” Hearn said. babcock,
“We got it. We want it.” Virgil OrtizWe like [Sebastian Fundora]We like [Bakhram Murtazaliev]at any [154]And I think this is the person who’s going to move forward [147] To [154] To [160] To [168]He has the ability to do all this.”
Crawford fought Alvarez at 168 pounds. …And while fans have been drooling over the Bud-Boots fight for years, we asked Hearn if it was on his radar.
“For a long time, people have talked about Ennis against Crawford, right? What we can’t do is minimize or disrespect what Terrence has done. I mean, a true generational great of the game. But if anyone is going to beat him, I believe we have the guy to beat him,” Eddy said.
Of course, Bud secured all the bags last month… so Eddie understands he needs to “build Ennis into a fighter who can financially take Crawford into the fight.”
If they can get the money to make sense, Hearn clearly believes this fight is worth it.
“You tell me, once we win on Saturday, once we beat Ortiz or Fundora, you tell me the fights you want to see Terence Crawford over Jaron “Boots” Ennis. Yes, I will wait because that could be one of the greatest fights of all time.
“And I believe we’ve got the guy to beat that guy. And he’s the same guy right now. And we respect that. And if he wants a real challenge, get ready because the boots are coming!”
