Jaron Ennis - Boxing

The Jaron Ennis next fight will officially take place up at 154-pounds, with ‘Boots’ confirming a move up to super-welterweight in an attempt to become a two-weight world champion.

Ennis’ next fight is yet to be confirmed, but expect the former unified welterweight king to fight for a version of a 154-pound world title within the next six months.

Jaron Ennis Next Fight: Unified Welterweight World Champion Confirms 154-Pound Move

After taking to social media to confirm his move up in weight, the Jaron Ennis next fight has been confirmed for 154-pounds. As of now no opponent has been revealed, but it is now official that ‘Boots’ will move up to super-welterweight for his next contest.

Jaron Ennis’ record is currently a perfect 34-0. Of these 34 victories, an emphatic 30 of them have come via knockout. The American is one of the biggest punchers pound-for-pound in boxing, and looks to continue on his impressive knockout streak in his next fight.

‘Boots’ Ennis’ next fight could even be for a version of a world title straight away at super-welterweight. There is of course a possibility that he has one fight at the new weight before then diving into world title contention early next year.

At just 27-years-old, Ennis has already conquered the welterweight division. Following Terence Crawford’s move up from welterweight to 154-pounds, before his next fight against ‘Canelo’ Alvarez, Ennis took over the 147-pound division.

He became a unified champion, adding the WBA belt to his resume last time out after being the IBF champion for two fights before that. As the standout #1 welterweight in the world, a move up to 154-pounds makes total sense for ‘Boots’ Ennis’ next fight.

Opponent wise, there are a whole host of names who will want to take on the undefeated former welterweight king. Ennis’ first opponent at super-welterweight very much depends on whether he gets a world title shot straight away or not.

No matter who he fights, whether that be a bonafide world champion or not, rest assured that Jaron Ennis’ next fight will be one he is the favourite in. He really is a special talent and one of the best p4p boxers in the world today.

Who Could Jaron Ennis Fight Next On His 154-Pounds Debut?

With Jaron Ennis’ next fight confirmed for 154-pounds, boxing fans are pondering just who could be in the opposite corner of the dominant former welterweight king.

The super-welterweight division is stacked full of talent right now. The likes of Bakhram Murtazaliev, Vergil Ortiz Jr, Israil Madrimov, Sebastian Fundora, Tim Tszyu, Xander Zayas, Yoenis Tellez and Serhii Bohachuk are just some of the elite fighters in a world class 154-pound division.

A fight between ‘Boots’ and any of these aforementioned names would be a super-fight. The world champions are currently Murtazaliev and Fundora, with the WBO and WBA belts now vacant.

Ennis could well fight for one of the vacant titles at 154-pounds. Time will tell who Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis’ next fight is against, and whether or not a world title belt will be on the line or not.

The 27-year-old will likely fight once more in 2025, before trying to rubber stamp his domination on the 154-pound division next year.

His Excellency Turki Alalshikh, who’s net worth is now over £2billion, could well have Ennis headlining one of his bumper Riyadh Season or Ring Magazine cards soon too.

If he does, then ‘Boots’ could be given a shot at world honours almost immediately. He may even have a close eye on the Fundora vs Tszyu rematch in July, hoping to fight the winner before the end of the year or early next year.

Time will tell what happens in regards to Jaron Ennis’ next fight. It could be for a world title against one of the aforementioned names, or could be a tune-up fight before a big assault on the 154-pound division next year.
