IBF welterweight champion Jaron 'Boots' Ennis (33-0, 29 KOs) faces WBA champion Imantas Stanionis (15-0, 9 KOs) in a two-fight unification clash live on DAZN from Boardwalk Hall on April 12th at 147 New Jersey. in Atlantic City.

This is the unification bout since the 27-year-old Ennis became the IBF welterweight champion in November 2023. Boots needs an impressive showing in this fight, as she has looked average in her last four fights against Karen Chukhadjian x 2. , David Avanessian and Roiman Villa.

Ennis' decision to turn down a big payday in a fight against WBC interim junior middleweight champion Virgil Ortiz Jr. on the Feb. 22 Riyadh Season card makes the fact that he shines against Stanionis all the more critical.

Boxing fans think Boots is a fighter who lacks ambition and confidence after being schooled twice by Chukhadjian.

Stanionis is coming off a 12-round unanimous decision against Gabriel Maestre on May 4 last year. Ennis has looked good in any of his last four contests.

“It's a simply brilliant fight,” said promoter Eddie Hearn. “When we signed Boots, I told him we'd deliver the integration for him, so it's great for Jaron to get through this, and I know with the biggest fight of his career ahead of him, he'll be brighter than ever. Imantas is a brilliant fighter, and is undoubtedly #1 and #2 in the division.”
