Overview

• Álvarez is preparing for the undisputed super‑middleweight fight with Terence Crawford on September 13 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.
• Coaches and commentators note Ennis’s attributes mirror Crawford’s in useful ways for camp, with trainer Stephen “Breadman” Edwards calling the choice a smart move.
• A circulated photo from their sparring shows a visible mark near Álvarez’s eye, though no injury has been announced.
• Ennis is 34‑0 with 30 knockouts and recently stopped Eimantas Stanionis before moving up to the 154‑pound division.
• He is slated to face Luisma Lima in Philadelphia on October 11, while journalist Dan Rafael reports the WBA will cease recognizing Crawford as its 154‑lb champion when he fights at 168, with Abass Baraou elevated.
