The IBF welterweight master, Jaron “Boots” Ennis, says that he intends to go out and show that he is “one of the best fighters” in sport next month in unification with the WBA champion Eimantas Stanionis on April 12 in Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, Novel Jersey.

Adaptation problems

Ennis (33-0, 29 KO) did not have much to say when he said in an interview that people say that he was revealed in a rematch with Karen Chukhadzhian on November 9, showing Lack of ability to adapt to what he did in the ring. The shoes looked one -dimensional and unable to cope with the skills of a talented Ukrainian warrior.

27-year-old Ennis, promoted by the match, does not say if he will stay at 147 to end the goal of becoming the undisputed champion or go to 154 to get more fights. Sounds like a broken recordEnnis repeated many times that he focused only on what is in front of him in the fight with Stanionis (15-0, 9 KO). Before the last fight with Karen Boots, he repeated the same thing: “Wait for him to have fun” and the knockout will come.

It seems that he is not able to change, not only what he says from one interview to another, but also in the ring. Ennis fights in the same way and looks confused when you need to come up with a warrior showing his skills. In retrospect, it is good that Terenka Crawford did not fight him before leaving the division 147 pounds. He made Ennis look bad.

View of boxing fans Ennis shoes as Truck. He He should fight at the age of 154, but he decides to stay in a tender 147-pound division, because there is no threat to repeat itself.

“Overrated” label

They already consider Ennis as “overrated”, not a guy who originally thought when he first began his career. It is simple to look great when the warrior is matched as Ennis was at the beginning of his career. Now he finally stands in the face of guys with ability; It is obvious that he is not a warrior whom the naive fans thought for the first time. In other words, Ennis is just another example of noise.

If Ennis moved to 154 to take up challenging challenges in this weight class, his career would fall quickly if he couldn’t cope with talented killers in this division. The inability of boots to adapt to his rematch from Karen in November last year suggests that he is not doing well in the younger medium weight towards fighters who can hit and are able to give it a different look.

“I am ready to show the world why I am one of the best fighters in the world,” said Jaron Ennis Warrior About his April 12, the struggle of unification with the WBA WBA Eimantas Stanionis in Atlantic City, Novel Jersey. After this fight, everyone calls my name. It seems to me that it is easier to introduce these guys in the ring, “said Boots Ennis, responding to the saying that people say that Karen Chukhadzhian” was revealed “by the rematch on November 9 last year.

It is too delayed for Ennis to “show the world” that he is one of the best, because Chukhadzhian has already revealed him that he is not one of the elites. What the shoes need to do is back from Karen for the trilogy, because he was both in two fights and looked like in both. I fall out of this competition to fight Stanionis, is a signal of failure.

“Then they [Team Crawford] They said that I was a “high risk, a low reward,” said Ennis, putting positively, not fighting Crawford. “My goal is on April 12 to become a unified world champion. Gather this magazine Ring and WBA, and from there we will see what options we will do. My goal is what is before me, and this is Eimantas Stanionis and one of these belts.”

Challenged ambition

See what I mean in shoes that sound like a broken record. He repeats like an elderly person and seems to be able to change. What’s more, his decision to stay rooted in the place in 147 shows both the lack of ambition and courage. He should fight for 154 instead of staying in 147, to complement his superficial goal, which is unquestioned.

This only means something to capture all four belts in the weight class if the division is arranged with talented masters. If it is sterile and lifeless, then a waste of time and does nothing for a warrior’s career; That Ennis does not understand what he says much about him.

“As I said, my main goal is what is ahead of me,” said Ennis “boots” asked if he was going to fight Teofimo Lopez, instead of continuing the unification with the semiconductor scale master Brian Norman Jr. “I’m still 147 pounds at the moment,” Ennis said about whether he will soon go to 154 to fight Vergil Ortiz Jr.

“I’m 147 pounds now,” said Jaron, asked if he would be interested in fighting Keith Thurman at the age of 154. “When time comes and 154, we can talk about them other guys. But at the moment I am 147 pounds.

Image: Adam Smith reveals Ben Whittaker summer fight plan

Smith said Whittaker is expected to return to the United States in overdue June on the Jaron “Boots” Ennis card, then return to the UK in the summer for a major date in his hometown of Birmingham.


Whittaker stopped Brian Suarez in two rounds last weekend and performed brilliantly throughout, adding another early finish to the stretch that helped rebuild attention around him after his first fight with Liam Cameron ended in a draw.

Smith said the June outing would support expose Whittaker to a wider audience ahead of a bigger national night later in the year.

“He will fight at the end of June in America at the Boots Ennis gala. That’s good. Show him to a global audience. Then he will come back here in overdue summer, maybe early September and fight in Birmingham in a huge fight,” Adam Smith said in an interview with Sport Boxing.

Smith also named British opponents who could be next, naming Lyndon Arthur, Brad Rea and Craig Richards as possible options once Whittaker returns home.

Smith believes that in the long term, bigger domestic fights with Joshua Buatsi and Anthony Yard should come within the next year if Whittaker continues to win.

“Buatsis and Yards need to be delivered within the next 6-12 months.”

Whittaker has had a lot of notoriety since turning pro, but the activity and matchmaking are looking more grave now. The next two fights should tell more than the first ten.

Oscar De La Hoya admits he would consider comeback under one condition

Six-division world champion and Golden Boy promoter Oscar De La Hoya hasn’t fought since 2008, but revealed he would be willing to return for one fighter.

De La Hoya is a newfangled pound-for-pound legend, being one of only two six-division champions in the history of the sport – joined by Filipino fan favorite Manny Pacquiao, who has reached eighth in this ultra-elite club.

While De La Hoya has moved on to promote the sport, “Pac Man” recently returned to the pro ranks, challenging Mario Barrios for the WBC welterweight world title last July in an attempt to break his own record as boxing’s oldest 147-pound ruler.

Pacquiao could only get a draw in that fight, but now he’s ready for an even bigger fight – at least financially – after signing a contract for a rematch with Floyd Mayweather, who defeated him in 2015 in the “Fight of the Century.”

Time will tell whether this fight will have an impact on Mayweather’s renowned 50-0 record or not. “TBE” apparently wants to change his contract to an exhibition fight despite signing a contract for sanctioned competition.

If that fight takes place in September, Mayweather will come out on top again, De La Hoya said Fighting the noise that he would also be willing to have a rematch with Mayweather.

“I am a fighter. I will always be a fighter. If Mayweather beats Pacquiao, Floyd, you owe me a rematch! Let’s go!”

Mayweather defeated De La Hoya by split decision to win the WBC super lightweight title in 2007, and De La Hoya still maintains he deserved to win the fight.

The Day Wilder vs. Joshua fight died after eight years of failure

Published

Wilder vs Joshua WBN

Today is April 24, 2026, and after eight arduous years of trying, the Deontay Wilder vs. Anthony Joshua fight is off the table for good, ending one of boxing’s longest-running failed negotiations.

The last window closes

Both sides had one good opportunity to get the job done and promoter Eddie Hearn now closed it down tough. The Matchroom boss has outlined the level of opponent Joshua’s next fight will be aimed at, and it won’t be thrilling for those still hoping for Wilder.

Hearn initially branded Wilder a ‘warm-up’ for Joshua after the ‘Bronze Bomber’ sent Derek Chisora ​​to the points. However, less than a few weeks later, that position appears to have evaporated.

Instead, Joshua will now likely face lower-level opponents outside the top 15 to shake off the ring rust. It is unclear whether these instructions are coming directly from Saudi Arabia or not, but the former two-time heavyweight champion is not expected to enter a potential fight with Tyson Fury this fall after beating the YouTuber over the course of five one-sided rounds.

The Path of Fury takes priority

Joshua, who recorded wins over the likes of Otto Wallin and Jermaine Franklin before suffering a devastating stoppage defeat to Daniel Dubois, is currently in advanced talks with Fury following his performance on Saturday after “The Gypsy King” defeated Arslanbek Makhmudov.

Once negotiations are finalized and the fight is secured, British fans can look forward to the most crucial heavyweight battle in the British Isles since Frank Bruno vs. Lennox Lewis.

To achieve that, Joshua needs to fight a transition fight, and that means he won’t take any chances against Wilder, despite the American’s dwindling strength.

Wilder will now be forced to leave, and given his current form, he may struggle to maintain his current position until any Fury series ends.

Joshua vs. Fury could stretch into two or even three fights, while Wilder will turn 41 in October, which puts him firmly on the wrong side of the age divide.

Heavenly sports

How it all started

The attention for the former WBC ruler could instead turn to Andy Ruiz Jr., who – as WBN reported exclusively in 2020 – was once lined up for a massive pay-per-view clash with Wilder after the Fury trilogy.

It never materialized, but it remains one of the few remaining realistic options that still holds real intrigue.

The plan began with Shelly Finkel’s phone call to WBN in June 2018. It will end in a whimper as Joshua and Hearn choose their next move ahead of the Fury fight.

How it ended

Eight years later, it has only come close to reaching significance once, in 2023, and even then the Day of Reckoning plan fell through.
