Former world champion Shawn Porter entered the ring alongside WWE star Big E, who was also Porter’s personal announcer for the fight. Following a successful stint at Fury vs Wilder 3, Big E has returned to the boxing scene yet again and this time he chose a welterweight blockbuster to make his appearance felt.
Boxers and WWE stars have crossed paths several times under one roof to entertain the audience. From Floyd Mayweather to Tyson Fury, several boxers have entered the WWE ring. For a change, Big E walked into the boxing domain, but not as a fighter. The NEW DAY prodigy seems to relish his ability on the mic and has provided his voice for Porter for his biggest fight to date.

Unlike Crawford, Porter doesn’t have a world title or an undefeated record to tout. But he still has enough credentials to put himself in a similar bracket with ‘Bud’ Crawford. The Ohio-native holds a pro-record of 31-3-1 and has been a 2x welterweight world champion. Besides, he has never been stopped in-ring. Al these features validate him to be a top-tier challenger and for that, several people have favored him to win.
Lightweight superstar Ryan Garcia recently took to Twitter and expressed his support towards ‘Showtime’ Porter. He backed Porter to win, which was surprising for several people. But on looking from a broader perspective, Porter actually has the chance to land an upset.
