BOOTS AND STANIONIS CLASH IN UNIFICATION BLOCKBUSTER ON APRIL 12 IN ATLANTIC CITY Undefeated World rulers put their IBF and WBA Welterweight titles on the line and winner will be crowned Ring Magazine champion

Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis and Eimantas Stanionis will clash in a blockbuster unification battle for the IBF, WBA and Ring Magazine World Welterweight titles at the Jim Whelan Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City on Saturday April 12, live worldwide on DAZN. Ennis (33-0 29 KOs) puts his IBF strap on the line for the third time in his third fight under Eddie Hearn and Matchroom, with his previous defenses seeing the Philadelphia star thrill his hometown fans at Wells Fargo Center, first by forcing David Avanesyan to retire after five rounds of his first defense in July and then outpointing mandatory challenger Karen Chukhadzhian in November. Stanionis (15-0 9 KOs) made a welcome return to the ring in April with victory over Gabriel Maestre in Las Vegas in May, outpointing the Venezuelan in Las Vegas to retain the WBA regular title that he won back in April 2022 in Texas against Radzhab Butaev. The 30 year old, who represented Lithuania in the 2016 Olympic Games, was elevated to full champion in August when Terence Crawford vacated the WBA belt. Both Ennis and Stanionis have been searching for unification bouts since landing their titles, and now the pair clash with the Ring Magazine title also on the line at a venue that has hosted the very best fighters on the planet. “This is the fight I’ve been waiting for,” said Ennis. “I believe I was made for moments like this and on April 12 I will be making a big statement and you will see the very best of me. It’s time to shine, be great and collect those belts.” "This is it—the moment I've been envisioning my entire life!” Said Stanionis. “Every sacrifice, every ounce of sweat, it's all been for this fight. Jaron 'Boots' Ennis is a great fighter, but I'm ready to take him down. On April 12 in Atlantic City, I’ll show the world what I’m made of. This unification bout is my chance to prove I'm the king of the Welterweight division, and there’s no way I'm letting this opportunity slip away. This moment is mine!” “This is a simply brilliant fight,” said promoter Eddie Hearn. “When we signed Boots, I said to him that we would deliver unifications for him, so it is great to get this over the line for Jaron, and I know that with the biggest fight of his career right in front of him, he is going to shine brighter than ever. “Eimantas is a brilliant fighter, and this is without doubt the #1 and #2 in the division, and I could not wish for a better fight to promote our first event in the storied Jim Whelan Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City.” Announcements on the undercard and ticket on-sale dates will be made soon.

That's a fly fight day poster.

Jaron looks a bit different. Head looks sunken in a bit.

Maybe I'm reading too much into thing. Looking forward to this fight.

best fight to make at 147...so boots at least is off the chopping block for now...brian norman 100 percent is the cause of the fallout between him and boots fighting to unify

boots is going to have to get back his rep after the karen fights made him look ordinary. philly was not happy with what went down in the karen 2nd fight and he lost momentum. stanionis just needs to be active. that brilliant fight with butaev and the momentum have been wasted...some of his doing, some not of his doing (cough ortiz cough). plus they got their zeroes so both got a lot on the line in a 50-50 fight

 

[Megadeus]

Big time bout, This one will be dynamite. Might pull up to AC for this

Boots could shut up a lot of people with a unification here. Wonder how the undercard fills out

 

[Knicksman20]

Not sure I agree with Cobbs but he makes some very interesting points

If One Punch Man's face can hold up, it'll be a fun shoot out while it lasts
