Will Ennis move up in weight to fight Crawford, or will Crawford move down?
Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis won in his Philly homecoming. Is welterweight unification or Terence Crawford next?Dreams and Nightmareskid headlining the first world title fight in South Philadelphia in more than 20 years, smiling and bobbing as he started to make his way to the ring late Saturday night.For most of the five rounds Saturday night, Ennis made it look like something resembling that ease.
And because this is boxing, and it’s always about what’s next, Ennis could enjoy the cheers from his hometown crowd and stand in the ring with family and friends for photos for only a few minutes before the questions about his next bout started.There’s one at the top of the list: Terence Crawford, who is regarded as the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world. But Crawford is heading from welterweight up to 154 for his next fight, an Aug. 3 matchup with Israil Madrimov in Los Angeles.
“I don’t care,” he said. “I just want to fight the top guys, the best guys. They’re going to bring the best out of me.” Ennis’ father and trainer, Bozy, put an end to the Crawford talk by saying: “We ain’t worried about Crawford. We’re going to clean 147 out and then we’re going to move to 154. If he’s there and he’s got a belt, we’re coming after him. Simple as that.”
