Vergil Ortiz Jr. took to social media to challenge Jaron “Boots” Ennis and to probe Alfredo Zayas’ commitment after Zayas pulled out from the title‑unifying junior‑middleweight clash.
Ortiz’s statement follows the unification victory that set Ennis up for an undisputed crown, and the champion has said his aim is to cement that standing prior to taking an Ortiz bout.
Ennis answered that his primary focus stays on securing the undisputed goal, shelving an Ortiz fight for the moment. The boxing community keeps debating the next step, with Robert Garcia betting that Ortiz will stop Ennis in a future bout and DAZN listing the fight as a possible next headline.
