“Looking for mega fights,” Terence Crawford shows Jaron Ennis his place as he eyes on Canelo Alvarez and Errol Spence Jr rematch

Terence Crawford, the undisputed welterweight champion, is actively seeking mega-fights. He has ruled out facing two world champions, Canelo Alvarez and Errol Spence Jr. emphasizing his current focus on high-profile matchups.

Terence Crawford has expressed disinterest in fighting Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis. Crawford stated that he is specifically looking for mega-fights at this stage of his career. Terence revealed his plans to FightHype where he said:

Jaron is in one place, I'm in another. I'm looking for mega fights right now, and right now that's not a mega fight. That's my standpoint on it.

One of Crawford’s desired opponents is Canelo Alvarez. He has openly expressed interest in a bout with the boxing superstar. Crawford was firm in his lack of interest in matchups that do not meet the criteria of being significant and high-profile. Canelo Álvarez and Terence Crawford are accomplished boxers in their respective weight classes. However, Canelo had stated earlier this year that a fight with Terence Crawford doesn’t make sense at the moment.

Meanwhile, Crawford’s other interest is a reach with Errol Spence Jr.. The initial fight showcased Crawford’s dominance, leading to Spence’s first career loss. Crawford secured a ninth-round technical knockout. This marked the first time a male boxer had won undisputed championships in two weight classes with all four belts. Spence triggered a rematch clause, indicating a forthcoming rematch between the two fighters.
