It’s the fireworks waiting for the punk. Terence Crawford and Jaron Ennis seem to have commenced a slanging match. The former made history this year as he became the first man to be crowned a two-division undisputed champion. The latter had successfully defended his IBF (interim) Welterweight title in July. But tribulations were ahead for Crawford, tied up by the commitment to oblige a rematch with Errol Spence Jr.

Early this month, the IBF, on account of his not fulfilling the mandatory title defense requirement, stripped him of their belt. Ennis, hitherto an interim title holder, became a Welterweight Champion. It was to be expected that rounds of accusations and counter-accusations would follow. Terence Crawford took his X account and clarified that while he was happy for Ennis’ elevation, he couldn’t have disagreed more with the allegations of avoiding him all the way long. But soon the newly anointed Welterweight champion posted his reply.
