Recently it became known that the International Boxing Federation (IBF) stripped Crawford of his title due to his inability to defend against Ennis, since Terence is obliged to give immediate rematch to Errol Spence.
“This is not the way we wanted to get the belt. We would have preferred to take him in a fight, that would have been better, but the IBF sticks to the rules, you know? It was out of my control,” Ennis said in an interview with YSM Sports Media.
