Jaron Ennis Prepares for Title Clash Against Xander Zayas

Jaron Ennis, known as 'Boots', is on the brink of a significant career milestone as he prepares to challenge Xander Zayas for the WBA and WBO junior middleweight titles on June 27 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn. Ennis, who previously held the IBF welterweight title, has an undefeated record of 35 fights and is looking to add to his accolades after a dominant six-round victory over Eimantas Stanionis.

Despite ongoing comparisons to Terence Crawford, Ennis remains focused on his unique fighting style. He stated, "I don’t be worrying about that. I know that I fight like me, don’t nobody fight like me and I don’t fight like nobody." This confidence comes as he shifts his attention from a potential bout with Vergil Ortiz Jr. to the more pressing challenge posed by Zayas, whom he believes possesses a more complete skill set.

Ennis acknowledged Zayas's capabilities, saying, "I think he’s a solid fighter... I would say this fight is a little bit bigger because he got the two belts." However, he remains confident in his own abilities, asserting, "I’m just going be too much for him. I’m overwhelming. I’m be too fast, too strong. And I think I’m really going to shock you." With the stakes high, Ennis is determined to bring home the titles and further establish his legacy in the sport.
