According to Eddie Hearn, Terence Crawford may come out of retirement to face Jaron Ennis. Crawford retired undefeated after defeating Canelo Alvarez, becoming the undisputed super-middleweight champion. He then vacated his titles and declined to rematch Alvarez, even considering a fight against Janibek Alimkhanuly at 160lbs. However, after failing a drug test, Crawford decided against further competition.
Recently, Crawford was caught on camera arguing with unified super-welterweight champion Ennis, with Ennis claiming he would defeat Crawford. This led to Ennis' promoter, Hearn, expressing strong interest in organizing the fight, claiming it would be the biggest in boxing history. Hearn believes Crawford's next fights against Josh Kelly and Fundora will be crucial in determining his future plans, and if he becomes undisputed, the Crawford-Ennis bout will likely materialize.
Hearn praises both boxers, highlighting Crawford's superstar status and Ennis as a rising American talent.
