Boots Ennis Slammed for Choosing Lima Over Tim Tszyu

Trainer Brian Norman Sr. Trashed Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis Decision to Turn Down a Fight Against Tim Tszyu in a Match Against UISMA Lima in His debut at 154. Norman Sr. States That Ennis (34-0, 30 kos) Doesn’t want to Face Anyone Who Can “Fight Back.”

Tszyu Was The Test

Ennis, 28, Is Using Lima (14-1, 10 Kos) to prepare for a potentially challenging Fight Against Vergil Ortiz Jr. In Early 2026. That Fight Still Needs to Be Finalized, And It’s Uncertain Whether It Will Be Actually Take Place.

Even I IT Doesn’t, The Former IBF and WBA Wellterweight Champion Could Have a Tougher Fight to Prepare Himself for Fighters That He’ll Be Expected To Face in 154-LB Division.

“You’re Fighting With Guy 16 Fights,” Said Brian Norman Sr. to Millcity Boxing About Jaron Ennis Fighting UISMA Lima, Who has a 14-1 Record. “Why Wouldn’t Take That Fight? That’s Crazy,” Said Norman Sr., Reacting to Being Told That Ennis Could Have Fighter Tim Tszyu.

Boots Playing It Safe

Ennis and His Promoter, Eddie Hearn, Chose to play in His first Fight at 154. They Likely Could Have A Risky Fight, Like Tszyu, But Opted Match Against Lima Instead. When They Chose Not to Negotiate a Deal with Deal # 1 WBO Contender Josh Kelly, It Was Though That Though We Are’t Going To Take Any Risks.

Karen Had Him Spinning

Ennis Had Looked with Karen Chukhadzhian Last Year on November 9. Closer Than The Wide Scores The Judges Turned for Ennis.

Ambrose’s Viewpoint: Ennis’ Stock Stuck in Neutral

“Tim Tszyu Was A Good Fighter, And That Was Style for His. That Would You Define Raised His Stock Up,” Said Norman Sr. “He Does Want to Fight Nobody That Could Fight. You couldn’t get up to Karen (Chukhadzhian), But You Can Get Up to 15 Fights With UISMA Lima.”

Ennis Should Have Taken The Fight With Tzzyu If There Was Him To Him Him. The Preparation He Would Have Received Would Him Get Ready for Vergil Ortiz. The Karen Fight Took Out Out of Ennis in Terms of His Willingness to Take Risks.
