“A Truly Big Fight” – Shakur Picks Ideal Opponent for Ennis

WBC lightweight champion Shakur Stevenson (23-0, 11 KOs) has shared who he believes would be the perfect opponent for WBA and IBF welterweight titleholder Jaron “Boots” Ennis (34-0, 30 KOs).

According to Stevenson, Ennis is simply too dominant in the welterweight division, and the most compelling matchup would be against interim WBC super welterweight champion Vergil Ortiz Jr. (23-0, 21 KOs).

“Jaron Ennis vs. Vergil Ortiz — now that’s a truly big fight. That’s a real money fight. Ennis vs. Ortiz, period.

Any other fight for Jaron at welterweight? Nah, I’m not feeling it. To me, he’s just too dominant in that division,” Stevenson stated.

On April 12, Jaron Ennis stopped Eimantas Stanionis when the Lithuanian’s corner pulled him out after the sixth round — RTD 6.

In February, Vergil Ortiz earned a unanimous decision win over Israil Madrimov.
