JARON ‘BOOTS’ ENNIS INKS MULTI-FIGHT DEAL WITH MATCHROOM

Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis has signed a multi-fight deal with Eddie Hearn and Matchroom.

The two-weight unified king’s new deal covers his next seven fights at the most exciting time in his career to date, with the 29-year-old closing in on his goal of becoming the undisputed champion at 154lbs.

The Philadelphia favorite first joined forces with Hearn and Matchroom in April 2024, and Hearn immediately brought Boots back home as he fought at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia twice that year, defending his IBF World Welterweight crown against David Avanesyan and Karen Chukhadzhian. Those wins set Ennis up with a unification bout at 147lbs with WBA champion Eimantas Stanionis a year after signing the deal, and Ennis dominated the Lithuanian in Atlantic City, forcing him to retire after six punishing rounds.

Ennis moved up in weight and returned home to Philadelphia to destroy Uisma Lima inside the opening round of their October showdown for the interim WBA World Super-Welterweight title, and that led to the biggest fight of his career so far, when Boots unified the Super-Welterweight division with his stunning stoppage win over Xander Zayas in Brooklyn in July.

Ennis is hunting the remaining belts at 154lbs, with the IBF title held by Briton Josh Kelly, who also inked a deal with Matchroom today, and the WBC crown held by American giant Sebastian Fundora, and Boots feels he has the right team around him to land those fights and become undisputed.

“I’m excited for my extended partnership with Matchroom,” said Ennis. “Together we have aligned ourselves in all the right positions to get what I want, and that’s undisputed!

“The world is about to see why I’m different and why I’m the best fighter in the world! These guys aren’t on my level! They can’t do what I do! Road to undisputed! Road to the number one pound-for-pound best fighter in the world!”

“I am delighted that Jaron has signed a new deal with us,” said Hearn. “It’s an honor that this pound-for-pound star continues to trust us with his career, and the whole team intends to repay that faith by delivering what he wants; unification and undisputed fights and the biggest names and nights in the sport.”
