Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis’ Unification Dream on Hop: Hearn considers Teophimo Lopez as a stop before a potential jump of 154 pounds

Promoter Eddie Hearn is not ready to say if Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis will stay in 147 to fight against Teophimo Lopez or pass up to 154 if he cannot achieve the unification shock he wants. Hearn says Ennis (34-0, 30 ko) is staying in Welterweight and fighting theophimo.

The two heavyweight champions Ennis needs to fight to be indisputable are busy defending other fighters, and it is questionable if Hearn can offer them enough money without the Saudis.

Hearn weighs Ennis options

“We’ve been talking to his excellence (Turki Alralhikh) about boots vs. Theophimo. I think it was originally for October. It could be August now,” said Eddie Hearn to Fight Hub TV. “We like the struggle. I think for the boots, after the (Karen) Chukhadzhian struggles, I was really thinking of a transfer to 154.”

Hearn obviously knows the answer as to whether Ennis will remain at 147 or move to 154. The boots would be a great favorite against Teofimo Lopez, and his size of size would make it easier. At 154, Ennis would not be greater than all their opposition and should depend more on their boxing skills.

“The struggle (Eimantas) Stanionis appeared, and that’s what he (Ennis) who wanted to do more than anything. So we did this. We acted very well in this struggle. So is it like:” I’m staying at 147 or 154? What are my choices? Can you get me another belt? I am like: “Right now, Brian Norman is on the missing list.

“” OK, well, what do we have at 154? “Obviously, money is good and the profile is good. So my answer is if Jaron remains at 147, I think there is a very good chance that he will fight against Teophimo Lopez next to him. I think if he does not fight theophimo, he will probably move to 154.”

What will keep Ennis at 147 until the bitter end is the dangers at 154 and the fear of the unknown. He does not know how good he will do in this class of weight, because he is a story different from the one that has become accustomed to fighting in the division of 147 pounds of heavy weight. If your boots knew you could joke everyone in 154 as you did in Welterweight, it would move.

Theophimo: A stop?

“Shakhram Giyasov also has mandatory. So the key to him is unifying. He has done this. In an ideal world he would fight with all other champions very quickly, but he does not always reproduce like this. We are not in pressure times,” said Hearn. “Only in Teopimo’s struggle, and that really came three or four days ago, where” do you want to do it? “We are negotiating and that’s what we do.”

Ennis will have to pay for his obligatory WBA Giyasov a passage agreement if he decides to fight theophimo. There is no way that Ennis comes off, and it will not be unless moving up to 154. Realistic, boots should fight their obligatory Giyasov, but this is a hard struggle and money would not be huge.

“It’s a massive struggle. It is a great struggle. My recommendation to Jaron is that if we stay, I think we should consider -definitely. I don’t know. As I understand it, his agreement is in his place with the Saudis. Our agreement is not. Obviously, we are the champion in this struggle,” said Hearn.

Ennis obviously doubts to pass up to 154. Thus, he will take the struggle of Theophimo if he cannot obtain the unification matches he wants against the WBC champion, Mario Barrios or the WBO champion, Brian Norman Jr. Tszyu, or Serhii Bohachuk. Could lose.

“So, in general, the Challenger will get less money, but we will have to see what the offer is and see if it is something that wants to do the boots. In an ideal world, he wants to unify,” said Hearn when he asks if Ennes is “hot or cold” about the fight against Teopimo. Boots is a very refreshing character in terms of legacy over money. Therefore, of course, money is important to him, but what is important for him is to prove against the champions and against the best.

Ennis would want to unify Welterweight, but now realizes that it can take too long to have the opportunity to fight the last two remaining champions, Mario Barrios and Brian Norman Jr. It is not worth the boots to lose years trying to get the last two remaining belts.

“So, I would not say that Teo’s struggles said,” Oh, Wow. I’m fighting. “You know, such as a good struggle. I think Riyadh is more likely,” Hearn said about the Ennis vs. Lopez.

Unless Turki Alralikh is involved to help Ennis fight unification against Brian Norman Jr. And Mario Barrios, these fights can never happen. Hearn will not reach three or four million by itself. You will not want to risk it.

“Why?” Hearn said when he was asked why the struggle cannot take place in the United States: “ There is another world here, not only in America. Yes, at the same time, it is a massive struggle in Riyadh. I do it. I know that we can do this struggle in Philadelphia and do 21,000 in Wells Fargo. But at the same time, we have understood that the boxing is going through a growth in other territories. ”

It may be better for the boots and the theophimo struggle to be staged abroad in Riad instead of the United States because if Teopimo is only clown as he did at the Times Square event, it is best not to happen in America. He made his really boring struggle against Arnold Barboza Jr. Earlier this month on May 2.

“We need to allow this growth to occur, not only as” OH, we cannot fight there. This is outrageous, “said Hearn.

Well, obviously, Hearn will not say that the fight against Ennis-Lopez in the United States, if Turki Alshikh is what finances it. It will fit where the contest wants to be stated.
