Jaron Ennis in the Ring With Ortiz: “I Will Make You Pay for Your Team’s Words”

On November 8 in Texas, interim WBC Vergil Ortiz scored a 2nd-round stoppage of challenger Erickson Lubin. After the fight, interim IBF champion Jaron Ennis stepped into the ring at the winner’s invitation.

— This really motivates me. We are ready to fight the best. Boots, come here. I think this is the fight that should happen. It’s him. Definitely, Ortiz said.

— This is the best fight in boxing. He did a good job, he looked great. But I will show why I am the best in the world, Ennis replied.

— Your father was the first to say that I was running from the fight. It was on the video where he said we are running.

— The time has come. This fight must happen.

— We started talking about this after you started doing that.

— Your team says crazy things. I will make you pay for everything they say.

— No, you won’t be able to.

— I guarantee it.

— So you’re saying “yes” now?

— Yes.
