Eddie Hearn says that he wants Jaron “Boots” Ennis to fight the “guard” in his debut in August 154, and then he fought with this champion younger WBC champion, Vergil Ortiz before the end of the year. Hearn will lead this fight next, but he was told that he would not be ready for this date.
154-Funts of Ennis’s plan
Hearn does not say who Ennis (34-0, 30 KO) will fight next, but it must be someone good enough to prepare him for Vergil. He believes that the shoes will be stronger at the age of 154, because he will not have to put his body through hell to earn weight, as in 147.
“What you saw against Stanionis was an exhausted guy and it was simply terrifying what this guy will do when he is not exhausted. That’s why I think he made the decision and said:” You have to see the best of me “and time,” said Eddie Hearn for this Fight Hub tv On Jaron’s decision “Boots” Ennis “about the transition to 154.
It was strange to see Ennis Boxing Eimantas Stanionis, and not tardy down, as usual with opponents. It was a clear signal that the shoes were not mighty enough to stand and hit Eimantas after what he had gone to earn a scale in 147.
“I don’t think people will shout to fight him [Ennis] In terms of masters, but now he has built this profile. You saw in the Riyadh season that they were over him to fight there, and we want to do it – said Hearn. “We want to work with its Excellency [Turki Alalshikh]. “
Masters aged 154 will not want to fight Ennis, unless the money is huge because they know that they will have little chance of winning. This would require Turk’s involvement in luring belt owners so that they want to defend themselves against shoes. In addition, Ennis may need to go to a compulsory position to force masters to fight him.
The guard first for Ennis
“We also saw what shoes they build for me in the US, you need this world guard, the five best guys, and certainly the 10 best guys to test water at 154, and then I think we should fight Vergil Ortiz,” said Hearn. “It’s a huge fight. We expect a fight in August.”
If Ennis shoes intend to fight the “guard” at 154 to prepare on Vergil JR, he should focus on the fight against Israil Madrimov or Erickson Lubin. These two fighters would give Ennis a good test to prepare it for what Ortiz Jr. intends to bring. Ennis is useless to fight someone in the top 15 because it will not prepare him.
“We actually said in the Riyadh season that we could fight Vergil Ortiz on August 16, but it was not ready or the date did not work. I do not know what it was. I think we will fight in August, and then we are ready for Vergil Ortiz. I think it’s a brilliant fight and I think this is the best fight in the division,” said Hearn.
Ennis vs. Ortiz would potentially be the biggest fight for shoes in the 154 pounds division, but not the most tough. Bakhram Murtazaliev, Sebastian Fund and Israil Madrimov may be more tough to fight for Ennis than Vergil Jr. Style Vergil Jr. They apply Ennis shoes to order, and he returns for exhausting fights with Madrimov and Serhia Bohachuk.
Multi-Division the future of Ennis
“You will see how it dominates in 154, as well as 160 or maybe even 168,” said Hearn about Ennis shoes. “He will be a world champion in three or four resolutions. Wait until you see that Jaron Ennis was fueled and did not have to go through this week of fight. He improved the weight in Stanionis’s fight than in the fight against Chukhadzhian.”
We do not know if the shoes will dominate everyone in the younger medium weight, because he would still have to go through these fighters to do this:
– Bakhram Murtazaliev – Sebastian Fundor – Tim Tsyzyu – Vergil Ortiz Jr. – likes Erickson – Israil Madrimov – Xander Zayas – Serhia Bohachuk – Jorge Garcia Perez – Keith Thurman
“He shrinks and you can’t physically be 100%when you do it in your body. Now it’s time to see the best Jaron Ennis.” We have a great relationship with Golden Boy and Daznne. They love this fight. Let’s see what we can do, “said Hearn.
Ennis has looked exhausted at his weighing for the last two years and should have been raised, not to go through torture in a dead division. When Terenka Crawford moved to 154 in 2024, Boots should follow him. He was the only guy in the division. Errol Spence stopped fighting after losing to Crawford. So it doesn’t make sense that the shoes still run out to make 147 to fight such guys such as Eimantas Stanoonis and Karen Chukhadzhian.

Both Floyd Mayweather and Terence Crawford hung up the gloves with undefeated records, and Mayweather’s uncle and former trainer Jeff Mayweather has assessed how a battle between the pair, in their primes, would play out.
Mayweather retired as a five-division world champion with a legendary 50-0 undefeated record, defeating the likes of Oscar De La Hoya and Manny Pacquiao in a career that will be spoke about for decades to come.
Meanwhile, Crawford retired last year after becoming the first post-war three-division undisputed world champion, walking away from the sport with his unbeaten record intact after 42 pro contests and a career best victory over Canelo Alvarez.
Discussing a fantasy fight between the two superstars with Sean ZittelJeff Mayweather shared his love for ‘Bud’ but maintained that he would fancy ‘TBE’ to come out on top.
“It’s one of them fights where fans would probably be split down the middle. Of course, I would choose my nephew [to win] but Terence Crawford is a damn good fighter.
“I don’t just like him as a fighter, I like him as a person, I like the way that he carries himself, what he stands for and what he represents. So I like a lot about Terence Crawford.”
The 62-year-old then went on to admit that Crawford may have been a better puncher than Mayweather, but favoured the elusiveness of his nephew over the aggression of the Omaha-born southpaw.
“If the fight happened and Floyd was in his prime, I think that Floyd would beat him. I think that Terence fights and gets hit a whole lot, I have never seen a fight where Floyd got hit a whole lot.
“Terence Crawford was a better puncher than Floyd, I think, so it’s a fight that either one could win but I’m going with my nephew!”
Crawford has been linked to a comeback in recent dayswith fight fans keen to see the 39-year-old return to action and face unified super-welterweight world champion Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis.
