During the press conference, Anthony Girges called Ennis an "email champion," but he countered fiercely with threats of delivering Crowley the "worst beating of his life." The tension escalated as Girges expressed regret that the fight wasn't set in Ontario, which would have seen a larger crowd just for the press event.
Bozy Ennis questioned Crowley's past decisions not to fight Ennis despite a $300,000 offer last year. However, he showed appreciation towards Crowley for stepping up now when others hesitated. Meanwhile, Crowley touched on his struggles with mental health and respected the chance to fight.
Jaron Ennis has lofty future plans beyond this match. He aims to become undisputed welterweight champion and eventually move up to dominate in another weight class. His father and trainer Bozy emphasized his son's commitment and readiness for any challenger.
Promoter Eddie Hearn shared insights into signing Ennis which took five years. They met during the Canelo-Danny Jacobs fight week in Las Vegas. Hearn's goal was to bring Ennis back home for this significant fight, fulfilling both a personal and professional milestone.
