"All or Nothing" – Stanionis Promises Fireworks Against Ennis

WBA welterweight champion Eimantas Stanionis (15-0, 9 KOs) has shared his mindset ahead of his high-stakes showdown with IBF titleholder Jaron "Boots" Ennis (33-0, 29 KOs).

The Lithuanian champion made it clear that he's not afraid to put his undefeated record on the line, vowing to deliver a spectacular fight. He also took aim at the modern boxing landscape, criticizing fighters who prioritize an unbeaten record over taking on real challenges.

"Fighting for three belts is amazing. My goal is to unify the division. We never received offers for an Ennis fight before—they were offering Mario Barrios or someone else. But I was always ready because I need to make a statement in the U.S.

I'm all about fighting the best. Back in the ‘70s and ‘80s, boxers faced each other all the time. But the Floyd Mayweather era kind of messed up boxing—now everyone is obsessed with protecting their '0.' I was never afraid of losing mine, even from the start of my career.

For me, the fight against Ennis is all or nothing, and I think it’s the same for him. We both have something to prove, so once the bell rings—expect fireworks.", Stanionis stated.

The Stanionis vs. Ennis clash is set for April 12 in Atlantic City, USA.
