  "account": "LAS VEGAS – Despite Terence Crawford's declaration of retirement following his victory over Canelo Alvarez, UFC President Dana White believes the 38-year-old boxing legend could be persuaded to return to the sport for the right fight. White, speaking at a post-fight news conference following Ryan Garcia vs. Conor Benn, stated, \"For a guy like Crawford, it's more than just a number, it's the right fight.\" Crawford, who hung up his gloves after his dominant win, has been approached by White regarding a potential matchup with Jaron Ennis, the 29-year-old undefeated fighter who recently claimed the WBO and WBA junior middleweight titles. White seemed to hint at Ennis as the possible match that could reignite Crawford's passion, but emphasized that it remains to be seen if the UFC heavyweight can make the arrangement come to fruition.",
