Crawford’s current record is an outstanding 38-0, without a single defeat. He has even challenged Canelo Alvarez on multiple occasions. The Matchroom boss emphasized that several essential elements need to come together for the match to happen. Boxing is a high-risk sport, and a tragic accident in the ring could threaten their bright careers.

If both fighters maintain their streak of victories, remain healthy, and the demand for this unprecedented match continues to grow, we could see Crawford vs Jaron Ennis in 2025.
