Jaron Ennis<\/a> wanted his own opportunity to dethrone Terence Crawford<\/a>. The former unified welterweight champion didn\u2019t hesitate, however, when Canelo Alvarez<\/a> enlisted Ennis to help the Mexican superstar prepare for his fast-approaching showdown with Crawford.<\/p>\n

Ennis arrived in the Lake Tahoe area Friday to start sparring with Alvarez as the undisputed super middleweight champion gets ready to face Crawford three weeks from Saturday.<\/p>\n

Ennis announced his arrival in Alvarez\u2019s training camp by posting a photo of them in the ring together through his X account Saturday afternoon.<\/p>\n

Ennis is one of the few fighters in boxing who can give Alvarez similar looks he expects to see from the multi-faceted Crawford. Like Crawford, the ambidextrous Ennis often switches between orthodox and southpaw stances during fights and troubles opponents with his effectiveness from the right and left sides.<\/p>\n

Crawford (41-0, 31 KOs), of Omaha, Nebraska, has moved up two weight classes to challenge Alvarez (63-2-2, 39 KOs) for the Guadalajara native\u2019s Ring, IBF, WBA, WBC and WBO 168-pound championships Sept. 13 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas<\/a>. Netflix will stream the highly anticipated bout between four-division champions.<\/p>\n

Philadelphia\u2019s Ennis (34-0, 30 KOs, 1 NC) couldn\u2019t ask for better sparring, either, as he prepares for his junior middleweight debut.<\/p>\n

The former Ring\/IBF\/WBA welterweight champion is scheduled to square off against Angola\u2019s Uisma Lima (14-1, 10 KOs) on Oct. 11 in Ennis\u2019 first fight since he left the 147-pound division two months ago. DAZN will stream Ennis-Lima \u2013 a 12-round WBA 154-pound elimination match \u2013 as a main event from Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia.<\/p>\n
