Hearn’s plan: Press an immediate Crawford collision after Ennis’s debut at 154

The chairman of the match room, Eddie Hearn, says as soon as Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis Usha Lima defeats in his debut at Junior Middleweight on October 11, he will ‘push’ the Terence Crawford battle for him. Hearn wants Ennis (34-0, 30 COs) to beat all the champions at 154, and Crawford still has the WBA title.

Ennis fights on October 11 on Lima (14-1, 10 COs) on Dazn at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia.

The Grand Crawford Plan

“I would say January or February, that kind of time,” Hearn told Fighting type When asked about the timeline for Jaron Ennis in 2026 against Vergil Ortiz Jr. to fight. “Fundora, Zayas. Once he (Uisma) Lima, we’ll try to get the Crawford match because he’s the champion (WBA Junior Middleweight).

Crawford gets a $ 50 million payday report Canelo Alvarez on September 13. For Crawford to turn around and stand in his next battle to the competition, it would require Turki Alalshikh to offer him a big payday. Terence does not want to take a massive wage reduction To take a fight that is just as risky as his attack against Canelo. Losing to the 28-year-old Ennis will reduce Crawford’s legacy and give him an injury to his record.

“I know Lima and his team. They sent him to people’s backyard in the last three or four fights, and he beat everyone. They are 15-0 and 17-0 fighters. This man is a legitimate top of 154 pounds, ‘says Hearn about 32-year-old Uisma. “He is top 10 with three governing bodies. He’s going to change his life. He will put it on ‘Boots’ and have a war. That’s what I want. ‘

Hearn is correct. The fighters who hit Lima in his last three fights had unbeaten records. But what he does not say is that it was not great talents. It was fighters who were mannered to create unbeaten records by beating less opposition. It was not former amateur talents. None of the three had amateur careers.

Chase all the titles

“Vergil is the interim champion (WBC 154-Pond). Boots, Vergil, Fundora and Zayas. There are some brilliant fights to be fed. Don’t forget Murtazaliev. He’s the IBF champion. He’s an animal. We’ll fight against him if we need a title.

Hearn had to connect Ennis against IBF champion Murtazaliev in his debut on 154 if he believes in him. There would have been no setback of fans if Ennis was linked to Murtazaliev. They would have applauded him.

“I think boots are too good for everyone. Murtazaliev is tough, a strong boy. Tim Tszyu, he did a job on him,” Hearn said.

The logical question to ask Hearn is that if he really believed that “boots” “are too good for everyone”, why is he fighting against obscure additional contender Lima? Ennis should fight against IBF champion Bakhram Murtazaliev, Serhii Bohachuk, or Israil Madrimov in his first fight at 154.
