When two undefeated fighters are circling the boxing hemisphere, it’s only a matter of time before the boxing community yearns for a showdown. Such is the case with Terence “Bud” Crawford and Jaron “Boots” Ennis. Fight promoter Cameron Dunkin, a man who has worked closely with both pugilists, recently voiced his thoughts on what could be one of the most anticipated bouts in modern boxing history.
Crawford, the celebrated boxer from Omaha, Nebraska, has fortified his reputation with a notable victory over Errol “The Truth” Spence, a fight that captured the world’s attention. Conversely, the rising sensation from Philadelphia, Jaron “Boots” Ennis, has continually impressed, securing impressive wins this year against formidable opponents like Karen Chukhadzhian and Roiman Villa. The discussions and debates around a potential Crawford-Ennis fight have electrified boxing forums and social media platforms alike.
Interestingly, while the boxing world seems poised for this encounter, Crawford appears to be playing it coy, especially after Ennis’ father, Derek “Bozy” Ennis, issued a public challenge. The lack of commitment from Crawford’s camp has sparked a flurry of speculation. Is it a strategic move, or does Crawford genuinely believe he’s met his match?
Cameron Dunkin, when questioned about this potential mega-fight, didn’t hold back his thoughts. His belief? “Boots is too big for Crawford, and I’d back him to clinch the victory.” With Dunkin’s insight adding fuel to the fire, the anticipation surrounding this prospective bout intensifies. All that remains is for the two fighters to meet in the ring and let their fists do the talking.
