Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis in talks for Sebastian Fundora Unification Fight

Fundora captured his WBC belt in early 2024 by upsetting Tim Tszyu, and has been on a tear ever since. He has wins over Chordale Booker, beat Tszyu again in their rematch, and is fresh off a blistering performance earlier this month in Las Vegas where he knocked out Keith Thurman in six rounds.

Stylistically, Fundora is a completely different animal than Zayas. Towering at 6’5 ½”, the guy uses his massive reach to rain non-stop punches inside, making life miserable for anyone in front of him. Boots will need every bit of his elite speed, timing and ring IQ to handle that kind of unique physical puzzle.

Fundora represents the fastest path available to the top of the division. Rather than spend the next year defending his belts, Ennis has a chance to eliminate another champion immediately and reduce the undisputed picture to a single remaining fight.

The suits are still hammering out the official date and location, but once this deal is signed, it’s easily one of the biggest fights of the year. The winner walks away with three world titles and the undisputed crown as the top dog in the division.

The proposed deal first appeared in a report from Ring Magazine’s Mike Coppingerthat said both camps are working towards a November or December date.
