Eddie Hearn Names Four Possible Opponents for Ennis

Eddie Hearn, head of Matchroom Boxing and promoter of WBA Interim Super Welterweight Champion Jaron Ennis, revealed several potential opponents for his fighter.

— If Ennis isn’t in Vergil Ortiz’s plans for his next fight, who would you like him to face next?

— Murtazaliev, Fundora, Zayas, Abass Baraou — anyone with a belt.

— But are those realistic options?

— Absolutely. I noticed a lot of your questions last week were pretty negative, so let’s keep this one positive. I’m the best at what I do, he’s the best at what he does. I’m going to do my job, he’s going to do his job — and I don’t want to miss the opportunity to watch this guy beat everyone. And I’m f***ing going to enjoy every second of watching him become the No. 1 pound-for-pound fighter.

In the Super Welterweight division, Bakhram Murtazaliev (23-0, 17 KOs) holds the IBF title, Sebastian Fundora (23-1-1, 15 KOs) owns the WBC belt, Xander Zayas (22-0, 13 KOs) is the WBO champion, and Abass Baraou (17-1, 9 KOs) holds the WBA title.

Earlier, on October 12, Jaron Ennis (35-0, 31 KOs) defeated Uisma Lima (14-2, 10 KOs) by first-round TKO.
