Eddie Hearn is eager to see his latest signing, Jaron Ennis, fight Terence Crawford in what would be a major battle.
The pound-for-pound superstar will jump to 154lbs in August to face Israil Madrimov and if successful, a contest against Ennis could be next for the Nebraska man.
In the meantime, Ennis has his own business to take care of as he returns to Philadelphia, his home city, this summer, to defend his welterweight world title against Cody Crowley.
Ennis is a bug favourite for that fight and his promoter has provided the latest news on what’s happening between Ennis and Crawford.
“The only person that can deliver that fight is His Excellency [Turki Alalshikh],” said Hearn when speaking to Fight Hub TV.
“Crawford is going to want a huge amount of money for that fight because of the risk. I’ll make sure Boots gets the right price as well.
“When I took Jaron to meet His Excellency in New York, he made it very clear that was a fight that he was very interested in.”
