Hearn plans Ennis’ 154 lb debut with Gatekeeper Fight before the end of the year was targeting Vergil Ortiz Jr.

Eddie Hearn says he wants Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis fight against the “goalkeeper” in his debut in August 154, then fights the temporary junior champion WBC Vergil Ortiz ahead of the end of the year. Hearn would fight next 16 August, but he was told he would not be ready for that date.

Ennis’s debut plan of 154 lb

Hearn does not say who Ennis (34-0, 30 ko) will fight the following, but it must be someone good enough to prepare it for Vergil. He believes that boots will be stronger at 154 because they will not have to spend his body through hell to make weight as he did at 147.

“What you saw against Stanionis was an exhausted guy, and it’s just scary that this guy will do when he’s not spent. So I think he made a decision and said,” You have to see the best of me, “and time,” said Eddie Hearn that HUB TV fights The Jaron ‘Boot’ Ennis’ decides to move until 154.

It was strange to see Ennis boxes Eimantas Stanionis, not to break through as usual with his opponents. It was a clear signal that boots did not feel strong enough to stop and hit Eimantas after he had gone to make weight in 147.

“I don’t think people will scream to fight him (Ennis) in terms of champion, but now he has built that profile. You have seen in the riyadon season that they were through him to fight there, and we want to do so,” Hearn said. “We want to cooperate with his excellence (Turki Alalshikh).”

The first priests in 154 will not want to fight Ennis unless money is huge because they know they will have a little chance of winning. This would require Turki’s involvement to lure the owners of the belt that they want to defend themselves against the boots. In addition, Ennis may need to go into a mandatory position to force the champions to fight him.

Goalkeeper first for Ennis

“We also saw what boots build in the US for me, you need that world class goalkeeper, the best man, and certainly the first 10 guy who physically tested the waters at 154, and then I think we should make Vergil Ortiz fight,” Hearn said. “It’s a huge fight. We expect to fight in August.”

If Boots Ennis will fight the “goalkeeper” next in 154 to prepare for Vergil JR, he should focus on the fight against Israil Madrid or Erickson Lubin. These two fighters would give Ennis a good test to prepare it for what Ortiz Jr. bring. Ennis is useless to fight someone at the bottom of the top 15 because it will not prepare it.

“In fact, in the season in Riyadh, we said that on August 16, we could fight Vergil Ortiz, but he wasn’t ready or the date failed. I don’t know what it was. I think we’ll fight in August, and then we’re ready for Vergil Ortiz. I think it’s a great fight, and I think it’s the best fight in the section,” Hearn said.

Ennis Vs. Ortiz would potentially be the biggest fight for boots in a giant of 154 pounds, but not the hardest. Bakhhram Murtazaliev, Sebastian Fundara and Israil Madrid may be more difficult to fight for Ennis than Vergil Jr. Style that Vergil Jr. The benefit was made to order Ennis boots, and he comes with painful fights against Madrid and Serhii Bohachuka.

Ennis Multi-Divisional Future

“You will see him dominating at 154 and also with 160, and maybe even 168,” Hearn said about Ennis boots. “He will be the world champion in three or four divisions. Wait until you see Jaron Ennis that he is properly encouraged and does not have to go through that week of fighting. He managed a weight in the structure of Stanionis than in the fight of Chukhadzhian.”

We do not know if the boots will dominate everyone in the junior medium category, because they will still have to go through these fighters to do so:

– Bakhhram Murtazaliev
– Sebastian Fundora
– Tim Tszyu
– Vergil Ortiz Jr.
– Erickson’s Lubi
– Israil Madrid
– Xander Zayas
– Serhii Bohachuk
– Jorge Garcia Perez
– Keith Thurman

“It has decreased, and physically, you can’t be 100% when you do it on your body. Now it’s time to see the best Jaron Ennis. We’re ready to fight at the end of 2025,” Hearn about Vergil Jr. vs. Boots Fight. “We have a great relationship with Golden Boy and Dazna. They love that fight. Let’s see what we can do,” Hearn said.

In the last two years, Ennis looked drained in his scales, and he should have moved, not to break through the torture into a dead division. Once the Crawford Terrence moved to 154 2024, boots needed to follow it. It was the only name in the division. Errol Spence stopped fighting after losing to Crawford. So, it was pointless to keep the boots exhausted to make 147 to fight guys like Eimantas Stanonis and Karen Chukhadzhian.
