Eddie Hearn focused on leading noisy fights for Jaron “Boots” Ennis

Published

Promoter Eddie Hearn mentioned the four possible options for his warrior, IBF and WBO, Jaron “Boots” of Ennis, for another fight. He says that next week he will meet with Ennis (34-0, 30 KO) to “talk about options for him.

Hearn mentioned that Ennis has a mandatory defense of WBA against Shakhram Giyasov, but wants to fight the WBO master Brian Norman Jr. or the second champion at the age of 147. If he fights with one of these two, he can bypass his mandatory Giyasov (17-0, 10 KO). He is probably a more arduous fight for shoes than Norman or WBC Master Mario Barrios.

Hearna’s options

– Shakhram Giyasov
– Brian Norman Jr.
– Teofimo Lopez
– Rolando “Rolly” Romero

Hearn says that Turks Alalshikh wants Ennis to fight Teofimo Lopez. He likes this fight. Teofimo defends his title of lightweight welterweight against Arnold Barboz Jr. May 2. If he loses him, he would probably eliminate him as an option for shoes.

Do you avoid mandatory?

“Great news because I think Ryan Garcia is overcoming Romero. I would like to fight for Romero for shoes,” said Eddie Hearn to mediaResponding to the said that WBA ordered the winner of Ryan Garcia vs. Rolando “Rolly” Romero Fight and Jaron “Boots” Ennis vs. Shakhram Giyasov has to fight. “

Fans would not be much interest in the fight between Ennis and Rolly bots if Romero lost Ryan on May 2. Shoes can as well bite the ball and undergo WBA compulsory involvement against Giyasov, and not defend yourself against a rolly, a loss.

“I will also say that Boots wants to face other masters. We have [WBA-ordered] Giyasov problem. I think shoes want to go out and fight [WBO welterweight champion] Brian Norman. I know his Excellency [Turki Alalshikh] He wants the shoes to fight Teofimo Lopez. “

The way Hearn says, Ennis can bypass his fight with Giyasov. If he plans to do it, he will just turn out. If Turks Alalshikh is involved, they can pay Giyasov to move to the side, allowing Ennis to fight Teofimo.

Union with the WBO WBO BRIAN Norman Jr. It would not require a step, because these fights have priority over mandatory defense. Ultimately, however, Boots will have to defend themselves against Giyasov, because the former WBA Master Eimantas Stanionis has already missed him.

Incredible position

“I will say at the moment now that Boots is a heated boxing guy. This last performance [sixth round TKO of WBA 147-lb champion Eimantas Stanionis]. Everyone knows that this guy is the future of boxing.

“So we are in an unbelievable position and we will plan Jaron Ennis, respectively, and we will meet next week and talk about the options,” said Hearn.
