Pound-for-pound great Terence Crawford<\/a> has once again been linked with a showdown with the unbeaten Jaron Ennis<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The 38-year-old from Omaha wrote his name into the boxing history books last month when he defeated Mexican superstar Canelo Alvarez<\/a> via unanimous decision to capture the undisputed super-middleweight championship.<\/p>\n

Crawford became the first male fighter in the history of the sport to capture an undisputed crown in three separate weight divisions, having previously achieved this feat at super-lightweight and welterweight respectively.<\/p>\n

As rumours begin to circulate about what could be next for \u2018Bud\u2019, one fighter that reportedly remains interested in a showdown with the pound-for-pound superstar is former unified world welterweight champion \u2018Boots\u2019 Ennis.<\/p>\n

Speaking after his victory over Canelo, Crawford was asked if there was any possibility that he could drop back down in weight to allow a clash with Ennis to happen in the near future.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo. I ain\u2019t going down to 154.\u201d<\/p>\n

Crawford had a brief spell at super-welterweight back in August of 2024 when he dethroned former WBA world champion Israil Madrimov, defeating the Uzbek star via unanimous decision in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n

Ennis recently made his debut at 154lbs having spent the majority of his career to date campaigning at welterweight, where he held the WBA and IBF world titles until August.<\/p>\n

The 28-year-old from Philadelphia stopped Portugal\u2019s Uisma Lima in the opening round of their bout on October 11<\/a>, capturing the \u2018vacant\u2019 WBA interim super-welterweight title in the process.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Pound-for-pound great Terence Crawford has once again been linked with a showdown with the unbeaten Jaron Ennis.
