Terence Crawford could have blasted Jaron “Boots” Ennis following his win over Karen Chukhadzhian on Saturday night but he didn’t go that route.
Terence Crawford could have hopped on the bandwagon blasting Jaron “Boots” Ennis following his unimpressive unanimous decision win over Karen Chukhadzhian on Saturday night at the Wells Fargo Arena in Philadelphia, but he didn’t go that route.
Instead, Crawford took to social media to offer his would-be rival some advice and a smidgeon of encouragement.
Crawford admitted he didn’t see the fight but heard about Chukhadzhian giving Boots more than he bargained for in their rematch. The four-division champion told Boots, “every nights not going to be the same,” and urged him to “never get too comfortable in this game.”
Here is Crawford’s post on X.
Crawford’s post was sage advice and pretty admirable–especially by boxers’ standards. Ennis has repeatedly called Crawford out for a fight.
I spoke to both men about the callout earlier this year, and while there is mutual respect, there appeared to be some frustration on Ennis’ part because Crawford wouldn’t accept his challenge.
