#Terence Crawford

After his original plan went by the wayside, Jaron "Boots" Ennis will reluctantly take on unheralded, unproven welterweight Karen Chukhadzhian on January 7 at the Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C. The scheduled 12-round bout will serve in support of the Gervonta "Tank" Davis-Hector Luis Garcia Showtime Pay-Per-View main event. The 25-year-old…

New Year will reaffirm old axiom as younger Franco will outlast Ioka. This hasn't been the most satisfying 12 months over the course of modern boxing history. When a fight that didn't happen - the apparently impossible Terence Crawford-Errol Spence to-do - becomes the sport's biggest news of the last quarter of the year, you know things can only…

Chin up, though; you can see Crawford in action, however, on Saturday, when he meets unsung but solid David Avanesyan in Nebraska, on pay per view. Sorry,…

In the 1960s and 1970s, when Las Vegas started attracting more big-time fights, casino sportsbooks began to take substantial action on the combat sport, even if…

Jake Paul fights for the sixth time (officially) Saturday night at Gila River Arena in Glendale, Ariz. Paul, 25, is 5-0 with four wins by KO. Anderson Silva, his 47-year-old opponent, is a UFC legend who is 3-1 as a boxer, although he's only fought twice since 2021. His other two bouts were in 1998 and 2005 - defeating Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. in a…
