. At 29-0-1, the 25-year-old welterweight has not only knocked out 27 of his opponents, he’s barely even lost a round in his emerging career.
Spence and Crawford’s talks notably broke down, forcing Ennis to continue to wait. Crawford instead fought and defeated David Avanesyan, a fringe contender, while Spence is reported to next be fighting Keith Thurman.

Before they fight each other, however, neither Spence nor Crawford seem eager to accept a challenge from Ennis. They’re definitely holding the division up,” Ennis told The Post.

If he already has proven his ability, now he can prove his stardom.Courtesy of Amanda Westcott, Showtime That celebrity is perhaps the final step in Ennis’ evolution. Soft-spoken outside the ring, Ennis largely stays away from much of the trash talk and over-the-top self promotion so many of his counterparts engage in.
