Vergil Ortiz Jr. posted on social media to call out Jaron “Boots” Ennis and to probe Alfredo Zayas’ commitment after Zayas pulled out from the title‑unifying junior‑middleweight clash.
Ortiz’s tirade follows the unification victory that set Ennis up for an undisputed crown, and the champion has said his goal is to lock in that status prior to taking an Ortiz bout.
Ennis answered that his primary focus stays on finishing the undisputed pursuit, delaying an Ortiz bout for now. The boxing community remains in discussion about 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.
