Matchroom hope to announce a new opponent for Jaron “Boots” Ennis as early as Wednesday evening

In the aftermath of reports that he had been pulled from his July 13 shot at IBF welterweight belt-holder Jaron "Boots" Ennis, Cody Crowley detailed the reasons why.

Welterweight Cody Crowley will reportedly no longer face titleholder Jaron Ennis on July 13 in Philadelphia, after Crowley failed a pre-fight eye exam.


Cody Crowley struggled to make himself heard inside Philadelphia’s Wells Fargo Center today, but he passionately stated that he had identified Jaron “Boots” Ennis as the fighter he wanted to meet for a world title.

Jaron “Boots” Ennis and Cody Crowley went head-to-head in Philadelphia today, formally announcing their fight.

Jaron “Boots” Ennis will re-start his promising career against Cody Crowley on a path that his new promoter, Matchroom’s Eddie Hearn, believes will lead to a showdown with Terence Crawford.


It makes a lot of sense for Terence Crawford to move up to 154 pounds to challenge WBA champion Israil Madrimov.

Vergil Ortiz Jr. made quick work of Thomas Dulorme on Saturday in Fresno, California, quickly turning attention to his scheduled Aug. 3 clash in Los Angeles with former junior middleweight titlist Tim Tszyu.
