Hearn plans the 154-pound debut with the fight against the goal before heading to Vergil Ortiz Jr.

Eddie Hearn says he wants Jaron ‘Boots’ to be ennis to fight a “goalkeeper” in his debut in August 154, and then fight against WBC Interim champion, Vergil Ortiz, the middle weight champion, Vergil Ortiz before the end of the year. Hearn would make this fight on August 16, but he was told that he would not be ready for this date.

The 154 -pound debut plan of Ennis

Hearn does not say who Ennis (34-0, 30 kos) will fight below, but he must be someone good enough to prepare for Vergil. He thinks the boots will be stronger at 154 because he will not have to put his body through hell to make weight as he had done in 147.

“What you saw against Stanionis was an exhausted boy, and only scared what this guy will do when he has not exhausted. That’s why I think he has made the decision and I said,” You have to see the best of me, “and it’s time,” said Eddie Hearn to Fight Hub TV About the decision of Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis’ to move to 154.

It was strange to see Ennis Boxing Eimantas Stanionis instead of sliding as he usually does with his opponents. This was a clear sign that the boots did not feel strong enough to resist and punch with Eimantas after what happened to weighing the 147.

“I don’t think people shouted to fight him (Ennis) with regard to the champions, but he has now built this profile. He saw in the Riyadh season above him to fight there and we want to do it,” said Hearn. “We want to work with his excellence (Turki Alralhikh).”

The champions of 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 Turki’s participation to attract belts to want to defend themselves from the boots. Apart from that, Ennis may have to work in a mandatory position to force champions to fight him.

Gatekeeper first for Ennis

“We have also seen what boots are being built in the United States for me, you need the world-class goalkeeper, the boy from the top five and, without a doubt, a top-10 to try the water at 154 physically, and then I think we should make the Vergil Ortiz struggle,” said Hearn. “It’s a massive struggle. We hope to fight in August.”

If Boots Ennis will fight a “goalkeeper” after 154 to prepare for Vergil JR, he should focus on fighting Israil Madrimov or Erickson Lubin. These two fighters would give Ennis a good test to prepare for what Ortiz JR will carry .. It is useless that Ennis fights against someone at the end of the first 15, because this will not prepare him.

“We actually told the boys of the Riyadh season that we could fight Vergil Ortiz on August 16, but he 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 about Vergil Ortiz. I think it is a brilliant struggle and I think it is the best struggle in the division,” said Hearn.

Ennis vs. Ortiz could be the biggest struggle for 154 -pound division boots, but not the hardest. Bakhram Murtazaliev, Sebastian Fundora and Israil Madrimov could be tougher struggles for Ennis than Vergil Jr. The Vergil Jr. He uses to order the Ennis boots, and he is coming out of the fights that took against Madrimov and Serhii Bohachuk.

The Ennis Multi-Division Future

“You will see him dominate at 154, and also at 160 and maybe even 168,” Hearn said about Ennis Boots. “It will be a world champion of three or four divisions. Wait until you see that Jaron Ennis fed properly and not having to go for that week of struggle. He improved the weight in Stanionis’s struggle in the Chukhadzhian struggle.”

We do not know if the boots will dominate everyone with a half junior weight, because it still should go through these fighters to do it:

– Bakhram Murtazaliev
– Sebastian Fundora
– Tim Tszyu
– Vergil Ortiz Jr.
– Erickson’s Lube
– Israil Madrimov
– Xander Zayas
– Serhii Bohachuk
– Jorge Garcia Pérez
– Keith Thurman

“You are reducing yourself and physically, you can’t be 100% when you do it in your body. Now is the time to see the best Jaron Ennis. We are ready to make this fight at the end of 2025,” said Hearn on the Vergil Jr. vs. Boots. “We have a great relationship with Golden Boy and Dazn. They love this struggle. Let’s see what we can do,” said Hearn.

Ennis has looked at his weights for the last two years and should have moved instead of torture in a dead division. Once Terence Crawford moved to 154 in 2024, the boots should be followed. This was the only name name in the division. Errol Spence stopped fighting after his loss in Crawford. So it made no sense for the boots to be exhausted to make 147 to fight boys such as Eimantas Stanoonis and Karen Chukhadzhian.
