Four-division world champion Roy Jones Jr has looked ahead to Terence Crawford’s next potential bout after speculation that a rematch with Errol Spence Jr will now not take place.
‘Bud’ Crawford put in a generational performance when he dominated and stopped Spence last July, becoming the first four-belt welterweight champion and the first multi-divisional four-belt undisputed champion as a result.
However, shortly after the clash, Crawford was stripped of the IBF welterweight world title, with 26-year-old Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis being promoted as the new title-holder.
Now the pair are being linked to an All-American showdown and Roy Jones Jr told YSM Sports Media that the hard-hitting Ennis could have what it takes to hand Crawford his first career defeat in what would likely be the latter’s final outing at 147lbs.
Ennis has been vocal in his call-outs of Crawford, demanding that the arguable pound-for-pound king attempts to regain his old belt.
However, it seems that ‘Bud’ is less keen on the idea, favouring a move up to super-welterweight or a potential three-division jump to super-middleweight to face the legendary Canelo Alvarez for the undisputed 168lbs throne.
