Ennis stopped the formerly unbeaten Xander Zayas by seventh-round technical knockout in a headlining bout at the Barclays Center on June 27, claiming the WBA and WBO junior middleweight titles while becoming a two-division world champion.

It didn’t take Ennis long to impose his will, stepping to Zayas and dropping him to the canvas with a strong left hand late in the first round.

From there, Zayas would gain some brief momentum in the third and fourth rounds, but in the fifth he’d be dropped once again with as Ennis landed a thundering uppercut.

Zayas again beat the count, making it into the seventh round where Ennis would close the show.

Firing combinations with Zayas backed against the ropes, Ennis sent him to the canvas for the final time with a pair of hooks, prompting Zayas’s corner to throw in the towel.

“Sometimes you have to stay composed and stay relentless and not rush it,” Ennis said. “I didn’t want to rush it and not get a knockout, so I just took my time, stayed patient, listened to my corner.”

During the press conference, when our Chief editor, asked Eddie Hearns, Chairman of Matchroom Boxing , and promoter for Boots Ennis what was in plan for his next fight, share your thoughts on the 7^th round Knockout of Zayas, went on to say in the first round Ennis almost was ready to KO, Zayas.

I was very excited and Zayas survived, in the 5^th round, Boots dropped Zayas with a flurry of shots, who was saved by the bell.

Then Ennis came out for the 6^th round, which was slugfest, neither fighter taking a step back.

Xander Zayas vs Jaron Ennis: Round 7, Zayas stands in the pocket early firing straight shots, landing while eating a counter from Ennis in response.

In the center of the ring now Ennis is letting is lands loose, repeatedly landing the hook to Zayas’s head. Straight left hand lands again for Ennis, but Zayas continues to show a strong chin.

Ennis continues the pressure though and begins stacking connects before once again dropping Zayas with a strong hook! This time the referee steps in and calls an end to the fight! Ennis wins by 7th round TKO.

The undefeated knockout monster and current WBC Interim Super Welterweight World Champion, Vergil Ortiz Jr. is one of the most dangerous fighters of this generation.

Vergil Ortiz Jr.@VergilOrtiz Xander you looked straight to your corner after you got dropped that last time you’re a pussy you did better than I thought you were gonna do but you’re a quitter I can’t believe I just saw you do that.

When one of the reporters asked Ennis about Vergil Ortiz’s Tweet, he went on to say, I will fight Ortiz, Jr in the next fight.

Then his promoter, jumped and said, Ennis VS Ortiz will be a huge fight. If Ortiz is ready to jump in after almost one year layoff, we will be happy to make the fight.

Then Mr Hearns went on to say, I would think that, Ortiz, will probably take on another fight, before he jumps in with Ennis for a mega fight.

Hearns, went on say, there were already strong possibilities, for Ennis to fight fundora, or even Josh Kelley other champions in the 154 IB, for a unification and to become an undisputed champion in this weight class.

Then have Boots, move to 160 IB & 168 IB and do the same there. He can easily handle the big boys.

The Barclay Center, in Brooklyn New York, was almost sold out. So many Puerto-Rican fans in attendance and supporting there countryman Zayas.

Boots had a good amount of people supporting him, many in attendance from Philadelphia, who drove down to see him.

In my opinion, Jaron Boots Ennis, is a great talent, master boxer, puncher and a great technician and take you out with one blow.

He will be hard to beat at this time, as long as he stays disciplined, trains hard. He can move up 2-3 more weights and win championships. As his father/Trainer Derrick “Bozy” Ennis went on to say, Philadelphia is the Mecca of Boxing.

I was also impressed with Benjamin G. Whittaker, a British professional boxer who has held the IBF International light-heavyweight title since June 2024.

As an amateur, he won a silver medal at the 2020 Summer Olympics. He turned professional in 2022.

He fought def. Richard Rivera by TKO in Round 2. He defiantly is a man to watch in the light heavyweight division.

VIP guests included: Ghost face Killah (Dennis Coles) is a highly acclaimed rapper, songwriter, and standout founding member of the Staten Island hip-hop group, the Wu-Tang Clan. Amanda Serrano, 7 time women’s world boxing great, 2 Time world boxing champion Teofimo Lopez and so many more VIP’s in attendance.
