IBF Champion in the 147 LB Ennis category (33-0, 29 and the WBA Stanionis WBA carrier (15-0, 9 ko) on the front page in Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, New Jersey.

(Merit: Mark Robinson/Matchroom)
Hearn patted himself on his shoulder because he performed Ennis, 27, the first of the three united fights he needed to become an undisputed champion in the velter category.
Eddie recently failed to arrange a fight for ‘Boots’ in November last year with WBO champion Brian Norman Jr., resulting in Ennis stuck in defense against his IBF mandatory Karen Chukhadzhiana in the rematch that fans were not interested in seeing.
Ennis looked awful in that fight, Karen anchored him and even hit many rounds. It is easy to say that Chukhadzhian made ‘boots’ look terrible. Jaron got a fight in 12 rounds unanimously by the judge’s decision but his shares in the box of boxing has dropped sharply because he looked terrible.
Ennis recently made things worse, rejecting a high salary in his career to fight WBC’s temporary junior champion in the middleweight category Vergil Ortiz Jr. On the huge map of the Turki al-Sheikha on February 2nd in Riyadh. Fans saw this as a lump sum, old -fashioned cowardice on the Ennis side. So, that Jaron is now fighting the habitation at the unification of April 12, nothing has been done to revive his lost popularity.
The struggle that fans of American boxing wanted to see was Boots Ennis against Vergil Ortiz Jr., not a match against habitat, who is not well known to Americans or thinks well. The second two world champions with 147, Brian Norman and Mario Barrios are also not very respected by the fans.
The wrong opponent
Boots will not get much of merit that they have won any of these types, and will be empty achievement If he finally reaches his goal of becoming unnoticed at 147. No one will care because fans attach a greater value to Ennis, who climbed into the fight against Vergil, Bakhhhhhhhhhhhhtazaliev, Israeli Madrimov and Serhii Bohachuk at 154.
“This is enough. Brian Norman, Barrios, two good fighters. Stanionis is the one. Stanionis is the hardest fight for boots, and you will see the best against the best. Win a crown and that’s what it is about, ”said Eddie Hearn Matchroom boxsaying whom he considers the best of the three 147-Funtas that Jaron Ennis must win.
“It is one of the most widespread and most accepted posts we have ever made because Boots had a dream [unifying the 147-lb division] If we were responsible for administers, which was for him to unite the division to become a prominent of the best 147-pointed in the world, ”Hearn continued.
“I have to give respect to Stanionis because no one wanted to fight boots, and maybe the last performance [Karen Chukhadzhian rematch] I just thought and this is a brilliant fight. This is number 1 and 2 in the semi-heavyweight category in the world fighting IBF, WBA and the Ring Magazine’s belt to unequivocally tell us who is the best 147-Funtash in the world.
Avoiding Ortiz?
This is not a grateful announcement because she did nothing to make the fans forget the boots who refused the risky fight against Vergil Ortiz Jr. February 22. Fans think that Ennis avoided Ortiz, fearing to lose him and experience a further decline in his popularity.
Boots already looked bad in most of his recent fights against Karen Chukhadzhian X 2, David Avsanesayan and Roiman Ville. The last time Jaron looked impressive was three years ago when on May 14, 2022.
“‘Boots’ had a lot of criticism because he was standing behind his dream, and when [Vergil] The struggle with Ortiz came when the fight with Theophim came, he told me, ‘Eddie, I want to unite the division. I want to win all the belts. Please do it ‘and we succeeded. We have delivered and now we are at Boardwalk Hall, an Arena imbued with history, ”Hearn said.
“It will be a big show for all the people who doubted it. All the people who shot at him [Ennis]This is a real fight. April 12 at Atlantic City, ‘Boots’ against Stanionis for superiority in the Welter category and for the Ring Magazine belt. The last two belt owners of Ring magazine were Terence Crawford and Floyd Mayweather, decades backwards
“Beyond that, [Sugar Ray] Leonard, Hagler, Sugar Ray Robinson. This is the quality we will see in this struggle, and this is a statement that ‘boots’ will give to prove that it is big in relation to the pound, ”Hearn said.
