‘Boots’ Vows to Silence Critics

Ennis was last seen in action on April 12, 2025, when he defeated Eimantas Stanionis to become the unified WBA and IBF welterweight champion. The Philadelphia native is now set to move up in weight to pursue the many intriguing opportunities at 154lbs. He has already vacated the IBF title and is expected to relinquish the WBA belt in due course.

Revealing his satisfaction with his promotional arrangement at Matchroom, ‘Boots’ said: “Working with Eddie and Matchroom is just a great connection,” Ennis said. “I love how they’re willing to do whatever it takes to make me a superstar. I’m ready to get going at 154 pounds and I am hunting the big names and the belts. Now it’s time to shut everybody up.”

Eddie Hearn Warns 154lbs Division

Reflecting on the news of Ennis extending his deal, Eddie Hearn said: “I’m delighted that Jaron has committed himself to Matchroom and DAZN.”

“Since we first started working with him last April, we’ve proved together that he is one of very few fighters in the U.S. that can draw huge crowds in the arena, with the three events we’ve staged with Jaron pulling in well over 30,000 fans at the gate, and that’s added to big numbers on DAZN. I’m so excited to see ‘Boots’ set about the 154-pound division, where you are going to see a different beast and his full arsenal on display,” added Hearn.
