Terence Crawford challenges Jaron Ennis to a potential boxing match

Retired boxer Terence Crawford signaled a potential return to the ring on September 10, 2026, by issuing a direct challenge to Jaron "Boots" Ennis. Crawford, who has been retired for nearly one year following a victory over Canelo Alvarez, reached out on social media to ask if Ennis would accept a fight. Ennis responded to the inquiry with an immediate affirmation of interest. The interaction follows a heated exchange between the two fighters on a live DAZN segment earlier this month. While no official bout has been scheduled, rumors suggest a path to a fight could include a requirement for Ennis to become an undisputed champion. Both parties currently remain in an informal dialogue regarding a potential return to professional competition for Crawford.
