One of these days, “Boots” is gonna walk all over you – “you” being the abundance of championship-level boxers in the welterweight division. A multifaceted pugilist, the ambidextrous Jaron Ennis (29-0, 27 KO) is steadily rising up the ranks, and should have everyone at 147 lbs on red alert. There are many redeeming qualities that

In the midst of all the fallout stemming from the late cancellation of Chris Eubank Jr vs Conor Benn — or ‘postponement’ as Matchroom promoter Eddie Hearn will tell you — Hearn speaks to DAZN to clear up the current status of everything that’s going on while also confirming the entire card will be scrapped

Despite recent news that suggests we’re not imminently close to a highly anticipated welterweight showdown between Errol Spence Jr and Terence Crawford, Spence has been on social media assuring the world that the fight will happening, and it will be his next fight.
