Terence Crawford shuts down rumors of fighting Jaron Ennis
Terence Crawford is at the height of his prowess, and he knows what he wants.
Crawford stated as much in an impromptu interview with FightHype.com as he refused to entertain talks of a matchup against Jaron Ennis, the IBF welterweight champion. Ennis was promoted from interim to undisputed title after Crawford was stripped of the title for failing to defend it mandatorily.
However, Crawford is not interested in regaining his belt and is looking for bigger money fights such as Canelo Alvarez and a rematch with Errol Spence Jr.
He said:
“Listen, like I said. Jaron is in one place, and I’m in another, you know what I mean. I’m looking for mega fights right now, and right now, that’s not a mega fight. So, you know what I mean, that’s my standpoint on it. I’m looking to fight guys like Canelo [Alvarez], you know. That’s pretty much it, man, and a rematch with Spence, and that’s it. That’s over with for me. Nah, [Jermell] Charlo not a mega fight.”
Crawford also refused to count Jermell Charlo as a potential mega-fight.
