Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis is being formed for his expected tune in October or November for his debut at 154. No opponent for Ennis (34-0, 30 kos) has been confirmed.
One of the problems that the old IBF and WBA champion has, Ennis, is that there is less incentive for the fighters and their promoters to want to face it. Without a world title, there are less incentives for fighters to face “boots” ennis in what would be a dangerous struggle for them.
Ennis and his team need Turki Alshikh to help them secure notable fighters in 154 to accept fighting him as a tune rival. It needs a good enough opponent to prepare for a big profile clash against the temporary champion of WBC, Junior Middleweight, Vergil Ortiz Jr., at the beginning of 2026.
The other promoters, Top Rank and PBC, are not eager to allow their fighters to be used as opponents for the boots promoted by Eddie Hearn, unless they are economically worth it. Any fighter who faces Ennis is likely to be dropped out or decisively hits a unilateral decision. Its value for its promoters will go down.
Ideal 154 Tintonization Adversaries
– Keith Thurman: potentially too expensive
– Charles Conwell
– Jesús Ramos
– Josh Kelly: A style similar to Karen Chukhadzhian
– Callum Walsh
– Tim Tszyu
Fighters like the former unified heavy weight champion “One Time” Thurman, 36, could be unrealistic because he is still seen as a star. If Hearn could get Keith at a bargain price, he would be a good rival for Ennis to use for tune purposes. However, the advanced age of Thurman and his small frame of 5’7 “make it less than ideal for preparing the boots to combat the true average weights.
Ennis, 28, recently abandoned his heavy weight titles IBF and WBA due to the difficulty of weighting and his inability to fight against champions Mario Barrios and Brian Norman Jr.
To spend up to 154 would make it easier for Ennis to achieve weight and achieve larger struggles. What he and Hearn did not realize was the difficult thing to oppose to fight him in 154 now that he no longer has a title. For them, Boots has nothing to offer, and has pure problems. In other words, it is a type of low -risk and low risk fighter.
