“Ennis and Ortiz Had Their Chance to Fight Me,” Says Terence Crawford

Three-time undisputed world champion Terence Crawford revealed how potential fights with Sebastian Fundora, Jaron Ennis, and Vergil Ortiz failed to materialize.

“I wanted to fight Fundora — because he had the WBC and WBO titles, and I wanted to become undisputed. But I was told he didn’t want to fight me because I don’t sell tickets. And I was like, ‘What?’

He wanted to fight Errol Spence, because that’s supposedly a bigger fight. But okay, because now they all want to fight me.

They say Terence Crawford is the ticket. Win, lose, or draw — it doesn’t matter.

Boots (Jaron Ennis) had the chance to fight me. Vergil Ortiz had the chance to fight me. But now they all want to fight Terence. Okay, cool.

When they had the opportunity — they didn’t want it. And now I’m the ticket. ‘We want to fight Terence Crawford’ — that’s the narrative now,” Crawford said.
