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.

Bill Haney commented on the Keyshawn Davis situation, says Shakur Stevenson’s fight is the most significant

“This man said he wanted the number 144,” Bill told Fight Hub TV. “He said, ‘We’ve got to sit down like businessmen and make this happen,’ right? Well, we’ve already sat down like businessmen. We’re ready to make it happen.”

Elder Haney also rejected suggestions that the catchweight proposal would represent a sudden change of plans.

“It’s not so sudden. 144 is a welterweight. Are you crazy or what?” Haney said. “At welterweight, we range from 140 to 147.”

As the conversation turned to Keyshawn Davis and his position as a top contender for the WBO title, Haney repeatedly pointed to what he believed to be a better opportunity.

“What is the most significant boxing fight going on right now?” Haney asked. “Shakur Stevenson and Devin Haney.”

Haney acknowledged that Davis remains part of the bigger picture, but pointed out that Stevenson’s matchup has been years in the making.

“This case has been brewing for seven, eight, nine, 10 years, whatever it was,” Haney said. “Just rest and we’ll get it done. He’s on the list. He was on the list before he was on the list, and he’ll stay on the list.”

Time will tell if the fight comes to fruition, but Bill Haney’s comments were perhaps the strongest indication yet that Team Haney is sedate about racing Stevenson at the proposed catchweight of 144 pounds.

The situation could become more complicated if the WBO formally orders Haney to fulfill his mandatory obligation to Davis. Until then, it appears the Haneys are turning their attention to what they believe is the biggest fight available.

Oscar De La Hoya says Gervonta Davis doesn’t deserve to have an undefeated record before her comeback

Oscar De La Hoya says that Gervonta Davis does not deserve undefeated record ahead of comeback

Oscar De La Hoya believes Gervonta Davis’ professional record should see a loss ahead of his potential comeback fight.

It is said that the 31-year-old is in negotiations for a fight for the WBA lightweight title with Floyd Schofield Jr, offering “Tank” the opportunity to regain his elderly belt.

Davis defended his world title after: controversial draw with Lamont Roach in March 2025, but has since become the sanctioning body’s “halt champion” at 135 pounds.

This is partly due to his passivity, but also to the American’s problems outside the ring, where he faced accusations of domestic violence.

However, it currently appears that Davis could return to action soon, with a potential fight with Schofield set for September or October.

These negotiations involve Schofield’s promoter, Golden Boy boss De La Hoya, who insists that “Tank” should suffer his first professional defeat in the match against Roach.

Their match ended in a draw after referee Steve Willis ruled against a knockdown in round nine when Davis clearly touched the canvas following a shot by Roach.

As a result, De La Hoya said Fighting Hub TV that Roach should have back-to-back victories over “Tank” and Isaac “Pitbull” Cruz, whom he boxed in December to a less controversial draw.

“Roach is a great fighter in his own right. He has some really good wins under his belt. I say he wins because I think he really won against ‘Tank’ Davis and I think he did a great job against ‘Pitbull.’

If Davis and Schofield’s respective teams are unable to reach an agreement by June 22, their mandate quarterback will be sent to a bidding hearing.

Shakur Stevenson accuses Devin Haney of ‘false public negotiations’ after £144 settlement

Potential negotiations between Devin Haney and Shakur Stevenson have taken another public turn after Stevenson accused his rival of engaging in “false public negotiations” following Haney’s latest comments on social media.

Haney appeared frustrated after previously agreeing to Stevenson’s proposed catchweight of 144 pounds, suggesting that even accepting those terms did not bring the fight any closer to becoming a reality.


“144 is not enough…I still don’t want to fight! Damn…@ShakurStevenson,” Haney wrote X.

Shakur later responded by dismissing this public exchange as a impoverished reflection of how main event fights actually unfold.

“The same thing you all did with Rolly. All those counterfeit public negotiations… The real negotiations take place offline.” I am the truth that you will see when you stand before me!!” Shakur posted.

Shakiur previously considered 144 pounds to be a fair compromise in a potential showdown with Haney, who has competed at welterweight in his most recent outings. Haney then signaled his willingness to accept the catchweight offer, sparking optimism that one of boxing’s most talked-about fights could gain momentum.

The latest exchange came shortly after the WBO confirmed that Haney must either defend his welterweight title against mandatory challenger Keyshawn Davis or risk losing the belt. While neither Haney nor Stevenson directly addressed the situation in their recent posts, the article did add another note to any future negotiations involving the former two-division world champions.

With Haney facing a WBO title decision and Shakur insisting that stern negotiations will take place behind closed doors, the pressure is now on both camps to determine whether the fight can go beyond an online exchange.
