Promoter Eddie Hearn recently shared details about a Facetime call he had with His Excellency after Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis’ impressive victory over David Avanesyan. During the call, His Excellency inquired about the potential Crawford fight for Boots. Hearn mentioned that Boots expressed his readiness by asking His Excellency to send the contract for the Crawford fight. Hearn believes that the highly anticipated Crawford-Boots showdown might take place in the first quarter of 2025.
When asked about the possibility of Canelo Alvarez facing Crawford, Hearn expressed skepticism, suggesting that such a matchup is unlikely. This news might disappoint Crawford, as he has expressed interest in fighting Canelo. Hearn emphasized Boots’ skills by labeling him as the best welterweight in the world and challenging anyone to name a better welterweight than Boots.
In response to Crawford’s cryptic remark on social media questioning the standards of world-class fighters, Hearn reiterated Boots’ capabilities and readiness to prove himself against Crawford. The Facetime conversation with His Excellency further solidified Boots’ determination to face Crawford in a future bout. Despite the uncertainty surrounding Canelo’s involvement, Hearn remains optimistic about the prospect of a Crawford-Boots showdown, especially if Crawford emerges victorious in his upcoming match against Madrimov.
Anticipation for the Potential Fight
As the boxing world eagerly awaits the outcome of Crawford’s upcoming match and potential future matchups, the prospect of a showdown between Crawford and Boots has generated significant excitement. Both fighters possess exceptional skills and are eager to test their abilities against each other in the ring. With the support of promoters like Hearn and the interest of fans worldwide, the Crawford-Boots fight could be a momentous event in the world of boxing.
