Hearn’s plan: Pressing for an immediate confrontation of Crawford after Ennis debut at 154

Matchroom President Eddie Hearn says that once Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis defeats Uisma Lima in his debut to Junior Middleweight on October 11, he will be “pressing for” the struggle of Terence Crawford for him. Hearn wants Ennis (34-0, 30 kos) to come to all champions in 154, and Crawford still maintains the title WBA.

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

“I would say January or February, this type of time,” Hearn said to Fighthype When asked about the timeline for Jaron Ennis to fight against Vergil Ortiz Jr. by 2026. “Fundora, Zayas. Once he beats (Uisma) Lima, we will be pressing for Crawford’s struggle, because he is the champion (WBA junior of medium weight).

Crawford gets a $ 50 million payable from Canelo Alvarez on September 13. In order for Crawford to turn around and will face Ennis in his next fight after this competition, he would require Turki Alshikh to offer a great day of payment. Terence will not want to make a mass reduction of payments to make a fight as risky as its attack on Canelo. Losing the young man, Ennis, 28, would tarnish Crawford’s legacy, giving a lack of his record.

“I know Lima and his team. They have been sent in the last three or four fights to the people’s gardens, and it has been beaten to everyone. They are 15-0 and 17-0.” It is the Top 10 with three governing bodies. Will change your life. He will paste it on the “boots” and will have a war. This is what I want. ”

Hearn is correct. The fighters that Lima surpassed in their last three fights had unbeaten records. But what he does not say is that they were not great talents. They were combatants who had been maneuvering to create unbeaten records overcoming minor opposition. These were not amateur talents. In fact, none of the three had amateur races.

• Shervantaigh Koopman
• Sukhdeep Singh Bhatti
• Haro Matevosyan

“Vergil is the provisional champion (WBC 154-LB). Boots, Vergil, Fundora and Zayas. There are some bright struggles. Do not forget Murtazaliev. He is the IBF champion. He is a beast. We will fight if we need a title.

Hearn should have coincided with Ennis against the IBF Murtazaliev champion in his 154 debut if he believes in him. There would have been no reaction from the fans if Ennis had been equal against Murtazaliev. They would have applauded her.

“I think boots is too good for everyone. Murtazaliev is hard, a strong guy. Tim Tszyu, he did a job with him,” said Hearn.

The logical question to ask Hearn is that, if he truly believed that “boots” are “too good for everyone”, why fight against the obscure contestant Strip Lima? Ennis should fight against the champion of the Ibf Bakhram Murtazaliev, Serii Bohachuk or Israil Madrimov in his first fight in 154.
