The promoter Eddie Hearn mentioned four possible options for his fighter, IBF and the weight champion Welter Wbo Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis, for his next fight. He says he will meet Ennis (34-0, 30 KB) next week to “talk about the options for him.”
Hearn mentioned thatnis to his compulsory WBA defense because of Shakhram Giyasov, but he wants to fight the WBO champion Brian Norman Jr. or the other champion at 147. If he fights one of these two, he can bypass his compulsory Giyasov (17-0, 10 kos). It is undoubtedly a more difficult fight for boots than Norman or WBC champion, Mario Barrios.
Hearn options
– Shakhram Giyasov
– Brian Norman Jr.
– Teofimo Lopez
– Rolando ‘Rolly’ Romero
Hearn says that Turki Alashikh wants to fight Teofimo Lopez. He loves this fight. Teofimo defends his Welter WBO Light weight title against Arnold Barboza Jr. on May 2. If he lost against him, it would probably eliminate him as an option for boots.
Go around compulsory?
“Good news because I think Ryan Garcia defeated Rolly Romero. I would like Rolly Romero’s fight for boots,” said Eddie Hearn to the mediaReacting to it is said that the WBA has mandated the winner of the Ryan Garcia against Rolando ‘Rolly’ Romero Fight and the Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis against Shakhram Giyasov Clash Mustt. “”
There would not be much interest on the part of fans for a fight between boots Ennis and Rolly if Romero comes out of a defeat against Ryan on May 2. Boots could just as easily bite the ball and get its compulsory WBA engagement with Giyasov rather than defending against Rolly, which comes out of a defeat.
“I would also say that Boots wants to face the other champions. We have the [WBA-ordered] Giyasov problem. I think Boots wants to go out and fight [WBO welterweight champion] Brian Norman. I know his excellence [Turki Alalshikh] wants boots to fight Teofimo Lopez. »»
The way Hearn speaks, Ennis can bypass his struggle commanded by WBA against Giyasov. How he plans to do so remains to be seen. If Turki Alashikh will be involved, they can pay Giyasov to withdraw, allowing Ennis to fight Teofimo.
A unification with WBO Welters weight champion Brian Norman Jr. However, finally, Boots will have to defend himself against Giyasov, because the former WBA champion Eimantas Stanioni has already bypassed him.
Incredible position
“Right now, I’m going to say it right away that Boots is the guy heated in red in boxing. This last performance [sixth round TKO of WBA 147-lb champion Eimantas Stanionis]. Everyone knows that this guy is the future of boxing.
“So we are in an incredible position, and we will plan accordingly and in the best interest of Jaron Ennis. We will meet next week and talk about the options,” said Hearn.
