Promoter Eddie Hearn says that the unified champion of welterweight Jaron “boots” ennis is “Moving” Until 154. A decision was made after his test team was made, which determined that Ennis (34-0, 30 KO) was worse due to his struggle with an incision of the 147 pounds department. Interrupted the division.

Hearn says that Ennis will fight in August or September, and he is open to the fight between him and the momentary WBC champion of the younger medium scale champion, Vergil Ortiz Jr. If not him, it will be someone else who fights in his debut at the age of 154.

Ennis shoes: 154-punting movement

Hearn says that Ennis was only “50%” for his unification with the WBA Eimantas Stanionis welterweight master on April 12. He thinks that when Jaron moved to 154, he will be 100%and the fans will be able to see if it is better.

“The shoes reach up. Unfortunately, after the fight Stanionis, he had his team, doctors, tests and what they basically say that the shoes are weaker to his abilities,” said Eddie Hearn Warrior. “You saw him during the Fight Week. It requires demanding work [to make 147]. “

Boxing fans have been noticing for some time when Ennis looked emaciated by weight, and they wanted him to move to 154 to take a larger name. In addition, there are no huge names in the welterweight ward. Masters in 147 that shoes must fight to complete their goal, which is unquestioned, would probably require a significant amount of money and it is not worth it.

“It is amazing that he did it Stanionis in 50% of his physical possibilities,” said Hearn. “What his team says and says. Sooner or later I do not say that you will get a moment of Keyshawn, but you can achieve worse results in the ring, have a nightmare, and this will simply catch up with you.”

Hearn seems elated that Ennis is planning to raise weight. Shoes does not make sense to stay at the age of 147 to continue to kill yourself, to earn weight, because she probably will not fight for the title of WBC against the winner of the fight Mario Barrios vs. Manny Pacquiao. Whoever emerges as the winner of this fight will avoid Ennis and focus on defending her against fighters such as Devin Haney, Ryan Garcia or Conor Benn.

“I love the fight Teo, just like shoes. But it was like:” Can I be the best of my skills at the age of 147, “said Hearn. “The answer is:” I can probably win good enough, but not the best I can. ” When you see shoes at the age of 154, you’ll see what I’m talking about. “

It sounds like Ennis was worried about losing to Teofimo. This is surprising, because the way he performed against Stanionis in April last year would be more than enough to defeat Lopez. Even this drained version of Ennis would be too huge for Teofimo.

“So it is very likely that these belts [IBF and WBA welterweight] They will be released – said Hearn. “We will meet this week and make the final decision. But yes, it’s time to go to 154, and he was united at 147. It’s time to try to become a world champion with two divisions.”

If the shoes do not leave their IBF and WBA welterweight titles, he regrets that he did not do it later, because, as I mentioned, he will not have the opportunity to fight for the last two other lanes. Popular fighters, Haney and Ryan Garcia, will not fight him. They know that they will lose.

“They said:” Would you fight Vergil Ortiz in August? “And we said,” Yes. ” And then they returned and said: “Vergil was not ready for August.” I said, “We are elated. We are talking to Daznie at the moment.

If Ortiz Jr. He is not ready to fight Ennis in August, he should go after the master Ibf Bakhram Murtazaliev or Master WBC Sebastian Formella.

“We want to be involved in all the biggest fights. Of course, he wants to win the world championship title and there is a good chance that Vergil can end up at this championship. Yes, yes, all for all the great fights with real physically 100% Ennis shoes, which is a terrifying proposition, given the performance he gave against Stanionis,” said Hearn.

One man who was ringside to witness the battle was former cruiserweight world champion Tony Bellewand he praised Joshua’s ability to turn things around in the fight after describing it as ‘chaos’.

“We predicted round two but I don’t think we foresaw that. That was chaos. He doesn’t see the uppercut coming and finds himself on the floor without knowing how he got there.

“The second one he did see it coming and he was able to clench down on the jaw. He got up and then the experience that he has he used tonight because he tied him up. Against Andy Ruiz he didn’t know what he was doing and didn’t know how to do that, but tonight he did.

“He showed once again there is no quit. To be that hurt in the first round and get up, that’s the recoveries of power. People talk about your chin, but it’s not, it’s the level of fitness that gets you up from the floor.

“When Joshua gets a fighter hurt he’s the best finisher in the division. Whenever he hurts someone they’re gone. I haven’t seen him drop anybody and they survive, only Andy Ruiz. He’s a ruthless finisher.”

The clash between Joshua and Fury is now expected to be announced soon for later this year, after Fury won his own interim fight on Friday by defeating Mariusz Wach.
