BOOTS HUNTING THE BIG FISH AT 154LBS PhilBoxing.com Thu, 02 Oct 2025  Lima is the focus, but Ennis tells ‘Day in the Life’ he is casting his net for Ortiz Jr and more at his new weight Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis is closing in on his debut at 154lbs in four weeks time as he takes on Uisma Lima in a final eliminator for the WBA World Super-Welterweight title at Xfinity Mobile Arena in Philadelphia on Saturday October 11, live worldwide on DAZN – and in Matchroom’s ‘Day in the Life’ series, Boots says he is ready to announce himself at 154lbs in style. TICKETS ARE ON SALE NOW FROM TICKETMASTER.COM AND EVENTS365.COM WATCH PART TWO OF ‘DAY IN THE LIFE’ WITH BOOTS ENNIS ON MATCHROOM BOXING’S YOUTUBE CHANNEL Ennis (34-0 30 KOs) said goodbye to Welterweight in stunning style in April, unifying the division by forcing WBA ruler Eimantas Stanionis to retire after seven punishing rounds in Atlantic City, but after listening to his body, the Philadelphia star has moved up to 154lbs and starts life at his new weight against the dangerous and well-traveled Angolan Lima (14-1 10 KOs). ‘Boots’ got the highest profile preparation possible for the fight, traveling to Lake Tahoe in California to join Canelo Alvarez’s camp for his clash with Terence Crawford in Las Vegas, and the 28 year old invited Matchroom’s cameras on his downtime in the picturesque surroundings, even finding time to do some fishing with his team – and Boots is ready on October 11 to cast his rod into the 154lb lake to see who bites. “I can’t wait to step in the ring in the Super-Welterweight division and take over,” said Ennis. “(On Vergil Ortiz Jr) That fight is there. Our focus is handling business and getting Lima out of the way, looking good, make a big statement in the 154lb division, and I’m ready. “Once I handle business, it doesn’t matter who it is; it’s Big Boots, not the little one, it’s Boots 2.0, and I’m excited. Being at a new weight class, the time is here now so it’s time to show out and put on.” For all the latest news and updates, follow @matchroomboxing on social media.  |
