Jaron Ennis officially released the titles of WBA and IBF in the welterweight, while both organizations are now moving to the fresh Crown Masters.

They were a unified holder of titles, this week, he started a hill up to 154 pounds.

IBF EYES CROCKER vs Donovan Remat for full title

Frank Smith from Matchroom confirmed that the rematch between Lewis Crocker and Paddy Donovan is close to finalizing the free IBF champion. The couple fought at the beginning of this year in a controversial duel that left the unfinished business.

“Every day you should finalize,” said Smith at the end of June, when the world title was asked about the rematch.

“This, of course, will add a great story to the fight. The first fight ended with controversy. This is their chance to prove who deserves to win and become the world champion.

“I hope that in the coming days we will have an update on this topic and confirmation of IBF that it will be the full title of the world champion.”

Both Crocker and Donovan are currently sitting first and number three in IBF rankings.

According to Matchroom IBF, he officially sanctions the Crocker VS Donovan rematch for a free title.

WBA can raise Romero or order giyasov

In the ranks of WBA, the situation is equally uncertain. Rolando “Rolly” Romero currently has the “ordinary” title of WBA “regular”.

WBA is now facing the choice: either lift Romero to the “great” master without a fight, or orders the title, probably with the participation of the Olympic silver medalist Shachram Giyasov.

Giyasov can also be called a mandatory contender, especially if WBA decides to do the title, not at height. Giyasov took first place and undefeated at 17-0, he publicly pressed his tardy title.

If Romero becomes “Super Rolly”, Giyasov could be adapted to Eimantas Stanionis or Raul Curiel regarding the free “ordinary” title.

147 wide open

Ennis’s output creates a uncommon reset in welterweight, with all four main belts potentially changing hands before 2026.

IBF is ready to act first, while the next WBA movement can determine the course of the rest of the division.

Crocker, Donovan, Romero and Giyasov expect development in a few weeks when the sanctioning bodies move quickly.

Considering that Mario Barrios defends his Crown in WBC welterweight before the Legend of Boxing Manny Pacquiao on July 19, whoever holds any belt in a 147-pound division, will be able to unite with “PAC-Man” if he wins back.

The title owner of WBO, Brian Norman Jr., also has a tent defense when he faces Devin Haney in November on the Ring IV card. This fight can lead to further unification talks throughout the division.
