Jaron “Boots” Ennis is currently considered the top fighter in the IBF welterweight division. With Errol Spence out due to injury and Terence Crawford moving up in weight, Ennis emerges as a standout contender in the welterweight division. Despite competitors like Mario Barrios, Brian Norman Jr, and Eimantas Stanionis also holding titles, Ennis is one of the four champions in the division. However, he remains steadfast in pursuing his ambitions.
Ennis has set his goal on uniting the welterweight division to achieve the status of undisputed champion. Initially interested in facing Terence Crawford, Ennis is now focused on securing all the titles in the welterweight division.
