Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis and Eimantas Stanionis are set to fight for two belts, the IBF and WBO, in a joint welterweight fight in April.

Ennis-Stanionis in April?

IBF champion Nsapato Ennis (33-0, 29 KOs) will be facing the first high-ranking opponent of his career if he arrives, and it will be interesting for fans to see how he responds to the power and pressure of WBA 147-lb champion Stanionis (15-0, 9 KOs).

If the fight is made, it will be a Matchroom show on DAZN. Whether it will be placed on PPV is doubtful because Stanionis is not well known. Bots has yet to reach such a level due to his temporary opposition during his nine years of professional life.

Ennis, 27, has come under fire for his decision to turn down a fight against WBC junior middleweight champion Vergil Ortiz Jr. on the February 22nd Turki Al-Sheikh card on DAZN PPV in Riyadh. It was rumored that the boots would be given a higher salary for the job $8 million, which is a crazy amount to say no to.

But he wants to unite the welterweight division to collect all four belts before he leaves, and he promises to finish what he started, come fire or high water. You hope Jaron doesn’t regret it later.

Can Boats Catch Stanionis?

“Will we finally get the unification deal at welterweight that he’s been waiting for?” said Bernardo Osuna to State of Boxingspeaking of Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis wants a unification fight against WBA champion Eimantas Stanionis or one of the other champions.

“He’s getting close for sure, and it’s a tough test for Boots. He’s looking at a fight against Eimantas Stanionis, who I think is one of the best fighters in all of boxing,” said Mike Coppinger. “He lost all of 2023 after several fights against Vergil Ortiz were cancelled, and I’ve been told he’s close to fighting in April. There’s no contract yet.

“This is a big step for Mr. Boots, who has never fought anyone. Stanionis brings problems; he can punch, and I hope that the fight will happen. It will be a matchroom show on DAZN,” said Coppinger.

It’s a big step for Ennis for those he’s faced over the past nine years, and it’s not guaranteed that he’ll win this fight. Stanionis is a good, strong fighter, and Nsapato has been hit hard in his fights. He relies on his offense to be his defense, and his opponents don’t do well for long periods of time.

Later, they meet someone with more power, and they are eliminated. What was surprising was how Ennis outshone Karen Chukhadzhian in her last fight on November 9th, and she is not known to be a big puncher.

Last Ride

“It’s about time Boots got in the ring with somebody,” said Tim Bradley. “I can tell you that. He had many opportunities to enter the ring with many guys, Vergil Ortiz at that time, but he did not choose. This has apparently been his plan from the beginning. He wants to combine the titles against Stanionis. “

Bradley is right. It was time for Ennis to fight someone else because it looked weak as he turned down the fight against Vergil Jr on February 22nd.

“I just finished studying film four days ago. “It’s going to be an interesting fight,” said Bradley. “Stanionis is a forward fighter, very aggressive. He throws punches in groups. He can hit hard with any hand, but boots. But the difference is Stanionis, I don’t think he understands trigonometry.

“He doesn’t understand angles. “They don’t understand how to make a place for themselves, because all they know is gas and they don’t have brakes,” said Bradley about Stanionis’ mistakes.
