Hearn Plans Ennis’ 154-LB debut With Gatekeeper Fight Before Targeting Vergil Ortiz Jr. BY Year-END

Eddie Hearn Says Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis to Fight A “Gatekeeper” in August, and then Fight WBC Interim Middleweight Champion Vergil Ortiz Before the End of the Year. Hearn Would Make That Fight For August 16th, But Hey Was It Wouldn’t Be Ready for That Date.

Ennis’s 154-LB debut plan

Hearn Isn’t Saying Who Ennis (34-0, 30 Kos) Will Fight Next, But It’s Got to Be Someone To Get It Him Ready for Vergil. He Believes That Boots Will Be Stronger at 154 Because He Won’t Have His Body Through Hell To Make Hearing Weight Like Hea’d been 147.

“What You Saw Against Guy, And It’s Guy Is Goning Not Displeted. Fight Hub TV About Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis’ Decision to Move Up to 154.

It was strange to see ennis boxing Eimantas Stanionis Rather Than Like Like His Opponents Like HIS Opponents. That was a clear signal that boots didn’t feel strong enough to stand and punch with Eimantas after What He Went Through to Make Weight at 147.

“I Don’t Think Thinking to Be Screaming To Him (Ennis) Berms of the Champions, But’s Built. “We Want To Work With His Excellency (Turki Alalshikh).”

The Champions at 154 Are Not Going To Want To Fight Unless The Money Is Huge, Because They Know That They Have Thoid Little Chance of Winning. That would require Turki’s Involvement to Lure The Belt-Holders to Want to Defend Against Boots. Aside from That, Ennis May Need To Work Into Into A Mandatory Position to Force The Champions To Fight Him.

Gatekeeper First for Ennis

“We’re Also Seen What Boots is Building, That World-Class Guy, and Certainly Guy to Test The Waters at 154 Physically, and Think We Should Make The Vergil Ortiz Fight,” Said Hearn. “It’s A Massive Fight. We Expect to Fight In August.”

If Boots Ennis Is Going To Fight A “Gatekeeper” at 154 to prepare Himself for Vergil Jr, He Should Focus on Fighting Israil Madril Or Lubin. Those Two Fighters Would Ennis A Good Test to Get Him Ready for What Ortiz Jr. Is Going To Bring. It’s useless for Ennis to Fight On Someone at The Bottom Of The Top 15 Because That Won’t Prepare Him.

“We actually in the Riyadh Season That Bergil Ortiz 16, but he didn’t work. I don’t know what. Fight, And I Think It’s The Best Fighting In The Division, “Said Hearn.

Ennis vs. Ortiz Would Potentially Be The Biggest Fight for Boots in the 154-LB Division, But the Toughest. Bakhram Murteriev, Sebastian Fundo, and Israil Madrimov Might Be Tougher Fights For Ennis Than Vergil Jr. The Style Vergil Jr. Uses Is Made to Order for Boots Ennis, and he’s coming off back-to-back grueling Fights Against Madrimov and Serhii Bohachuk.

Ennis’s Multi-Division Future

“You’ll See Him Dominate at 154, and Also at 160 and Maybe Even 168,” Said Hearn About Boots Ennis. “He’s Going to Be a Three Ortil You See Jaron ENNIS PROPERLY FUELED UP AND NOT Having To Go Than Week.

We Don’t know the IF Boots Will Dominate Everybody at Middleweight, Because He Would Still Need To Thead Through Those Fighters To Do That:

– Bakhram Murtev
– Sebastian Fund
– TIM TSZYU
– Vergil Ortiz Jr.
– Erickson Lubi
– Israil Madrimov
– Xander Zayas
– Serhii Bohachuk
– Jorge Garcia Perez
– Keith Thurman

“He’s Shrinking Himself Down, and Physically Doing Your Body. Now’s The Time to The Best to Make The Fight to Make The End of 2025,” Said Hearn About The Vergil Jr. vs. Boots Fight. “We’ve got a Great Relationship With Golden Boy and DAZN. They Love That Fight. Let’s See What We can,” Said Hearn.

Ennis has looked at His Weigh-ins for The Last Two Years, and HE Should Have Moved Up Rather Than Putting Himself Than Torture in a Dead Division. Once Terence Crawford Moved Up to 154 in 2024, Boots Should Have Followed Him. That was the only name Guy in the Division. Errol Spense Stopped Fighting After His Loss to Crawford. So, It was Pointless Boots to Continue to Himself to Make 147 to Fight Guys Like Eimantas Stanoonis and Karen Chukhadzhian.
