The upcoming movements of Jaron ‘Boots’ by Ennis as Eddie Hearn pursue struggles against Zayas, Murtazaliev and Crawford

Promoter Eddie Hearn says he is interested in combining a fight between Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis and the Wbo Junior Middleweight champion, Xander Zayas.

Zayas and Ennis: Interest

Hearn claims that he has talked to the first place about working with them for the Xander Homecoming struggle later this year in Puerto Rico. If Zayas wins this struggle and Ennis (34-0, 30 kos) is victorious in his party next month against Loma, Hearn wants to negotiate a Zayas-Ennis struggle.

Hearn says he hoped to combine a struggle between “boots” and Vergil Ortiz Jr. By the beginning of 2026, but he did not receive any contact from the promoters of Vergil de Golden Boy. Therefore, now he doubts that they are interested in making this fight. A fighter he says wants to fight Ennis is Zayas.

The problem of Lima

Again, it will require both Ennis and Zayas to win their next fights. As Hearn points out, “Boots” has a hard fight against him against Lima (14-1, 10 kos) on October 11, 2025, at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia. This will be the debut in Ennis at 154. Lima is classified #9 IBF, #9 WBA and #9 WBC.

Hearn is also interested in these two fights for Ennis:

• Bakhram Murziseev: IBF champion 154-lb
• Terence Crawford: WBA champion

The Zayas-ennnis

“I think Xander Zayas wants the fight. We had a conversation with the first rank about working together to give it a meeting to Puerto Rico, and then to fight the “boots”. We are ready for that. Boots against Xander Zayas, what a fight, “said promoter Eddie Hearn to Chris Mannix’s canal On his interest in combining a fight between Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis and the champion of Wbo Junior Middleweight, Xander Zayas.

A struggle between Ennis and Zayas would be interesting, as it would coincide with two excellent boxers against each other. It would also allow Zayas to show fans that he is not afraid to take risky fights and that he is not an artificial champion with care and maneuver, as many think he is.

Hearn did not say who he would use from his Matchs room as an opponent of Zayas, 23, to make his first defense of his 154 -pound WBO title against Puerto Rico this December.

The path of Murtazaliev to Ennis

“Then you have (Bakhram) Murtazaliev talking about fighting Josh Kelly in December. Also (Ennis) we will also fight. Now, we know that it can be unlikely to return to 154, but who knows? “”

A struggle between Ennis and the 154-pound IBF champion Bakhram Murtazaliev (23-0, 17 ko) would be exciting for fans to see. Jaron would have the opportunity to show people what he can do against the fighter who destroyed the former Wbo Junior Tim Tszyu champion on a third round on October 19, 2024.

The WBA title situation

If the strips of WBA Crawford of its title due to the abandonment, the temporary champion of Ennis and WBA, Abass Baraou, can fight for vacant belt. ABAS’s elevation to the WBA champion would also work, allowing Ennis to fight for belt instead of receiving the title, as he claimed the IBF heavyweight belt on November 9, 2024.

“” Boots “against Crawford is another fantastic struggle. So the only thing you don’t have to worry about, the boots, is that he will fight against anyone. Lima will go, which will be hard. This kind will come to fight. Finish it and then we will fight absolutely to anyone,” said Hearn, Hearn,

Win or lose on Saturday against Canelo Alvarez, it is unlikely that Crawford will return to 154 to fight with the young “boots” Ennis at any time, unless Turki Alshikh offers a mass salary.

A fight for Crawford is too difficult, and what would make it difficult to decide if you decide outside the ring once again after your Canelo confrontation. Returning to 39 years to fight Ennis would be a nightmare for Terence. A loss for the “boots” would dirty its legacy, especially if it is by tie.
