Vergil Ortiz Jr. went on social media to challenge Jaron “Boots” Ennis and to scrutinize Alfredo Zayas’ commitment after Zayas pulled out from the unification junior‑middleweight fight.
Ortiz’s tirade follows the unification win that left Ennis poised for an undisputed title, and the champion stated his aim is to cement that standing before taking an Ortiz fight.
Ennis replied that his primary focus stays on completing the undisputed quest, putting an Ortiz matchup on hold for now. 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.
