Jaron Ennis delivered a dominant fifth-round TKO victory over David Avanesyan, marking his first fight in over a year and his debut with Matchroom Boxing. Ennis' performance, which filled the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, drew praise from his promoter Eddie Hearn, who dubbed him 'the future of boxing'. Ennis now aims to challenge former undisputed welterweight champion Terence Crawford, who recently moved up to junior middleweight. Crawford critiqued Ennis online, questioning his world-class status despite Ennis achieving a faster stoppage against Avanesyan than Crawford did in 2022. Influential figures like Turki Alalshikh are pushing for a potential Ennis vs. Crawford fight at 154 pounds. Ennis emphasized his readiness to fight top contenders, believing that facing high-caliber opponents will bring out the best in him.
