IBF welterweight champion Jaron “Boots” Ennis says he is still fighting next month in his hometown of Philadelphia. Ennis’ opponent and mandatory challenger Cody Crowley pulled out on Tuesday due to complications in his recovery from eye surgery last November. Boots took to social media to inform his fans that the fight date is still on.
Boots Ennis: If it’s Cody or not I will still be fighting a top contender on July 13 as planned! DONT WORRY!
– I will be attending this event at the Wells Fargo Center in South Philly, my home town.
Crowley was just spared an a$$ whopping. Ennis is the real deal. Crawford & Spence been ducking him for a reason.
Yeah let’s go back two years ago when Bud offered him a fight and his father said we weren’t ready and we were loyal to Showtime. Lol, now that Bud was stripped one belt ubruptly and was given to Boots knowing the arrangement was for Bud to rematch EJ. Bud decided to forget that division and pursue his legacy by becoming three division undisputed.
They outgrew the weight class. Ennis for sure isn’t ready for Crawford. He probably can beat Spence now that he’s damaged goods. Time will tell if he’s the real deal. He’s beating up soft opposition.
HawnJay,
Ennis has been a top rated contender for over 4 years now and he’s been begging for a title shot the last 3.
Crawford and Spence have avoided this man like the plague!
Jay, its all about business my brother. Too much risk for a low reward. Anybody out of the 3 can win. You understand. In this business at this high You must use your brain. It’s a dangerous game baby.
They’re seemingly constantly attempting to place Conor Benn in big fights…. here you go Conor!
Hell I don’t see a bunch of fighters stepping up since he’s so untested and unworthy. I can’t hear y’all fake MF’ers now!
I’m just saying
I agree with you, Lucie….Conor Benn and his people need to seize this opportunity. But knowing how the business of boxing goes we’ll probably end up with either Alexis Rocha, Giovanni Santillan, or Harry Scarff. Yay.
I think Rocha might be the likely candidate. He’s scheduled to fight the week before this one, against Raul Curiel, so he’s already in camp and he fights for Golden Boy which is also on DAZN, so might be an easy fight to make.
He needs to fight Benn. He needs to pass at least one test..
