11/14/2023 0 Comments Ugas boxer next fight![]() “I'm so grateful to everyone who helped me along the way. “I set a goal when I was a child back in Cuba to become a world champion and I accomplished that goal tonight," said Ugas (26-2, 12KOs), who won the World Boxing Association (WBA) “Regular” welterweight title following Sunday’s win in Los Angeles. ![]() Out of all of them, the 36-year-old Yordenis Ugas is the best candidate for Boots Ennis’ next fight, and it’s hard to see where the gain is from fighting that old guy, given his inactivity and the beating he took in his last fight 15 months ago in his 10th round knockout loss to Spence in April 2022.Still, it was a moment he will savor as it results in his bringing him a secondary version of the welterweight title. Everyone knows I want the main guys,” said Ennis. “You got a lot of other guys besides Bud & Spence. In the post-fight press conference, the 26-year-old Ennis said he wanted to fight the winner of the July 29th fight between Terence Crawford and Errol Spence, but given that those two are signed for two fights and expected to meet in an immediate rematch later this year, it’s improbable that Boots will get an opportunity to face either. The old gatekeeper, Thurman, would need serious intervention to get him to square off with Ennis. They would need to rip that flute out of Thurman’s hands. ![]() ![]() Whatever hair is still left on Thurman’s balding pate will have left him by that point due to the worry. It might take the jaws of life tool to pull Thurman off the couch to get him to fight with Boots Ennis, and even then, he would likely need to be dragged kicking & screaming into the ring to fight the young killer. Thurman made it clear that Boots Ennis isn’t a big enough name for him to fight. It’s safe to say that you can immediately scratch old ‘One Time’ Keith Thurman off the list for Boots Ennis’ next fight because the former WBA & WBC welterweight champion, who rarely fights nowadays, said this week that he would only fight Jaron if that was his best option for putting food on the table. Hopefully, he does fight, but if not, we still got a lot of great options out here,” said Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis at the post-fight press conference last Saturday night following his knockout win over Roiman Villa in Atlantic City. I was trying to fight him in June, but things fell through. “I’m super serious about the Keith Thurman fight. NEWS: Jermell Charlo wants Terence Crawford vs. Again, that’s too much time out of the ring to be taking on a talent like Ennis. By that time, Stanionis will have been out of the ring for 19 to 20 months. If Ennis were to fight Stanionis, it wouldn’t happen until at least fourth to five months from now, in November or December. ![]() It’s one thing for Stanionis to be fighting the ring-rusty 25-year-old Vergil Ortiz coming off a 15-month layoff, but it would be asking a little too much for him to battle Bootss Ennis off of a likely 19 to 20-month layoff. That’s a tough fight for Stanionis to take, with him coming off what would likely be a year-and-a-half layoff. Showtime president Stephen Espinoza said last Saturday night that the only possible issue with Stanionis (14-0, 9 KOs) accepting a fight with Boots Ennis is the Lithuanian fighter hasn’t fought in over a year. WBA ‘regular’ 147-lb champion Eimantas Stanionis is easily the best option out of the bunch, given that he doesn’t have a fight planned afteer his opponent for last Saturday, Vergil Ortiz Jr, pulled out of their headliner due to a medical problem.
