Four-section unchallenged
Ennis (33-0, 29 costs) holds the IBF Welterweight title and goes to the WBA band held by Eimantas Stanionis on Saturday, April 12 at the Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, New Jersey. Last year, Jaron, 27, missed an opportunity for Brian Norman Jr. WBO title. Picking up when his promoter, Eddie Hearn of Matchroom, failed to negotiate an agreement.
The $ 1.7 million Hearn to Norman Jr. was rejected because he wanted a $ 500,000 increase to bring it to $ 2.2 million. The 500k that Norman Jr. wanted is considered too steep. If these are the types of problems that Ennis will be confronted with in his attempts to catch all the belts at 147, 154, 160 and 168.
Hearn’s investment
It’s just not going to happen. Hearn must invest in Boots Ennis as he would if it was his flagship fighter Anthony Joshua. So far it doesn’t happen. Ennis may need to reduce his career goals and just focus on beating the best guys he can under his limited promotional structure. If his name was Anthony Joshua, it would be different.
“I thought about it, but that’s not my purpose. I don’t care if I’m 49-0. When I retire at 49, as long as I achieve what I reach in this box in this boxing game and I have a multi-weight division, and I fought all the best guys, I got well with 49-0. I wouldn’t try to come back, but to make it 50 or 51, just to hit his record, ‘says jars’ boots’ boots’ boots’ boots’ boots’ boots’ boots’ boots’ boots’ boots’ boots’ boots’ boots’ boots’ boots’ boots. IceM Sports Media When asked if his purpose is to try to exceed Floyd Mayweather’s record of 50-0.
It is wise that Ennis should not think about breach of Mayweather’s record of 50-0, because it is superficial junk. Mayweather’s record is infected and false because of his controversial victories over Jose Luis Castillo and Marcos Maidana in their first fighting. The judges picked up Floyd by winning him that many boxing fans believe he didn’t deserve.
Mayweather’s record-50th win was against former UFC champion Conor McGregor, who made his debut in boxing with a record of 0-0. Mayweather’s record must have an asterisk Next to it, along with a footnote that describes the conditions in which he puts it.
The Nevada State Athletic Commission would probably never have sanctioned the Mayweather against McGregor as a professional struggle. It looked bad with a beginner fighting Floyd to break Rocky Marciano’s record of 49-0.
Can you suggest that the late, big Marciano who wants to fight a non-boxer to break a plate? Mayweather bends to a low of all time to pull the move rather than tackle Keith Thurman, who then fights and would have been a nightmare for him.
Ennis’s focus
“As long as I achieve my goals and beat all the guys I want to beat, that’s all that’s important to me,” Ennis continued. “Stamp my mark on 147. Stand my mark at 154, 60 and maybe 168,” Boots said when asked what his goals were before he retired. Try to be indisputed in all the weight classes. Thus, it is 147, 154, 160 and 168. So, four -time undisputed weight division champion. “
