Eddie Hearn says he obtained his marching orders from Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis to arrange unification fights towards different belt holders at 147. Hearn’s directions from undefeated IBF welterweight champion Ennis (33-0 , 29 KO) for 2025. This isn’t trying good, as a result of the champions need some huge cash.
Hearn says Teofimo Lopez or a transfer as much as 154 for a combat towards Vergil Ortiz Jr. is feasible if a unification combat cannot be made for Ennis. We’ll see if any of these items occur for Ennis within the new yr.
It’s going to take some huge cash for Hearn to lure one of many welterweight champions to combat Ennis.
Welterweight greed?
Lots of them are most likely ready and hoping that Turki Alalahikh will provide them a combat on his Riyadh season playing cards. They’d gladly combat for tens of millions, simply holding their very own towards a mushy opponent fairly than dropping their titles to Boots for little cash.
“The strict directions of [Ennis] are: “I wish to unify, and if I can not unify, I’ll both transfer to 154 and combat.” [Vergil] Ortiz, or I may doubtlessly combat Teofimo Lopez. I like Lopez’s combat, however all he desires to do is unify,” Eddie Hearn advised Fight Hub TV about Ennis from Jaron’ Boots.
Boots might need to determine whether or not to maneuver up or keep at 147 to face Teofimo quickly, because it would not look promising for his promoter Hearn to placed on the unification fights he goals of. Turki may enhance Ennis’ scenario, and we’ll see if that occurs subsequent yr.
Ennis’ poor efficiency towards Karen Chukhadzhian on November 9 is another excuse why her recognition did not take off. Not like different fighters like Gervonta Davis, Boots cannot combat anybody and expects followers to wish to pay to see him.
147 or 154?
He wants the large fights which have thus far eluded him. He would have helped himself if he had accepted the provide to maneuver as much as 154 to problem Vergil Ortiz Jr. for his belt. Ennis continues to be decided to seize the 147-pound belts.
He desires to comply with in Terence Crawford’s footsteps, but it surely took him years to get there. Even then, it did not occur till I used to be 35.
