Promoter Eddie Hearn says the unified heavy heavy champion Jaron ‘boots’ ennis is “To move –S” up to 154. The decision was made after their team did tests that determined that Ennis (34-0, 30 kos) was less profitable due to their struggles to achieve weight for the division of 147 LB. He had overcome the division.
Hearn says Ennis will fight in August or September, and is open to fight between him and the Interim champion of WBC, Junior Middleweight, Vergil Ortiz Jr. If not he will be someone else that boots fight in their 154 debut.
Hearn says Ennis was only “50%” because of his fight against unification against the WBA heavy weight champion, Eimantas Stanionis, on April 12. He believes that with Jaron up to 154, it will be 100%and fans will be able to see the best that is in full force.
“Boots is moving forward. Unfortunately, after Stanionis’s struggle, he had his team around him, the doctors, the tests and what basically say that Boots is supplying his abilities,” said Eddie Hearn to Fighthype. “You saw it the week of struggle. It takes hard work (to do 147).”
Boxing fans for some time now that Ennis has seemed to be emacted to weigh and wanted to go to 154 to assume the largest name. In addition, heavy weight division does not have big names. The champions in 147 that Boots must fight to complete their goal of being indisputable, would probably require a substantial amount of money and it is not worth it.
“The most amazing thing is that he did it in Stanionis 50% of his physical abilities,” said Hearn. “What his team says and what he says sooner or later, I’m not saying you will get a moment of keyshawn, but you could have a lower performance than the ring, have a weight of nightmare and will only set you up.”
Hearn sounds satisfied that Ennis plans to advance by weight. It does not make sense for the boots to stay in 147 to continue killing -because it is likely to be prevented from fighting for the WBC title against the winner of the struggle of Mario Barrios vs. Manny Pacquiao. Whoever comes out as the winner of this struggle will avoid Ennis and will focus on defending -against combatants such as Devin Haney, Ryan Garcia or Conor Benn.
“I love Teo’s struggle, and so did his boots. But it was like:” I can act at the best of my skills at 147, “Hearn said.” The answer is: “I can probably do well enough to win, but not the best of my skills.” Therefore, when you see boots at 154, you will see what I’m talking about. “”
It seems Ennis was worried about losing in front of Teophimo. This is amazing because the way he acted against Stanionis last April, this would be more than enough for López to overthrow. Even this drained version of Ennis would be too much for Teophimo.
“Therefore, it is very likely that these belts (IBF and WBA have a heavy weight) will be vacant,” said Hearn. “We will meet this week and we will make a final decision. But yes, it is time to move to 154 and now it has been unified to 147. It’s time to try to become a world champion of two divisions.”
If Boots does not give off his heavy weight titles IBF and WBA, he will want to do it later, because as I mentioned, he will not have the opportunity to fight for the last two remaining belts. The popular fighters, Haney and Ryan Garcia, will not fight him. They know they would lose.
“Did they say:” 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 happy. We are talking to Dazn right now.
If Ortiz Jr. He is not ready to fight Ennis in August, he should go after the IBF Bakhram Murtazaliev champion or the WBC champion Sebastian Formella.
“We want to participate in all bigger fights. Obviously, he wants to win a world title and there is a good chance that Vergil can end up achieving this championship. So yes, all for all major fights with true physically 100% ennis boots, which is a frightening proposal, given the performance he gave against Stanionis,” said Hearn.
