\u2014 DAZN Boxing (@DAZNBoxing) November 9, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n Fundora, Spence, Charlo and Crawford are all terrific fights. But Ennis is the fight. Spence and Charlo have been inactive (neither has fought in more than two years) and both are faded. Crawford competes two divisions higher and is chasing legacy<\/a> (read: world title) fights. Fundora would be a stiff test\u2014the 6′ 6″ titleholder is coming off a dominant win over Tim Tszyu\u2014but he isn\u2019t as marketable as Ennis. And Fundora kinda, sorta already has a fight with Keith Thurman scheduled.\u00a0<\/p>\n Ortiz vs. Ennis represents a rarity in boxing: two young, in-their-prime stars sitting squarely in the same weight class. It would sell out an arena in either Las Vegas or Los Angeles and if promoted properly could generate north of half-a-million pay-per-view buys. Tentpole events like this don\u2019t come along often. When they do, boxing can\u2019t afford to screw them up.\u00a0<\/p>\n Chris Eubank Jr. is hoping to turn back the clock to prevail in his next fight. \/ Sarah Stier-Imagn Images<\/p>\n Can Conor Benn turn the tables and defeat Chris Eubank Jr.? Benn\u2019s team has been brimming with optimism, predicting that Benn will win so convincingly it will send Eubank Jr. into retirement.<\/p>\n I\u2019m skeptical for two reasons. First, Eubank delaying this fight until November was smart. The first fight was a war, one the 36-year-old Eubank undoubtedly needed more time to recover from than the 29-year old Benn. Then there is the presence of Brian McIntyre, who reunited with Eubank for this fight. BoMac\u2014as the veteran coach of Crawford is known\u2014worked with Eubank for his rematch with Liam Smith, a fight Eubank won by knockout. BoMac brought the best out of Eubank that night and will have a strategy to utilize Eubank\u2019s size advantage.\u00a0<\/p>\n My prediction: Eubank by (another) decision.\u00a0<\/p>\n Will Jake Paul fight in December? In the aftermath of Paul\u2019s exhibition against Gervonta Davis collapsing following another domestic violence accusation leveled at Davis, Paul\u2019s team at Most Valuable Promotions has canvassed boxing looking for a Netflix-approvable opponent. As Sports Illustrated reported last week<\/a>, Anthony Joshua, Ryan Garcia and Terence Crawford are among the fighters MVP has contacted.\u00a0<\/p>\n While Garcia passed (Garcia is closing in a 147-pound title showdown against Mario Barrios) and Crawford is targeting a Saudi-backed event in March, MVP has worked to rekindle conversations with Joshua in the last week, sources told SI. Any deal for Joshua is complicated: Joshua is bound by an exclusive contract with DAZN\u2014Hearn, Joshua\u2019s promoter, confirmed to SI last month\u2014which would need to be incentivized to allow Joshua to fight Paul on Netflix. It\u2019s still a long shot but I\u2019m told MVP is not giving up yet.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n More Boxing on Sports Illustrated<\/p>\n
