A former rival of Jaron Ennis has summed up the impressive skillset of the future pound-for-pound superstar.
Ennis made his highly anticipated return to the ring earlier this month, stopping Portugal’s Uisma Lima in the opening two minutes of their clash at the Wells Fargo Center to capture the WBA interim super-welterweight title.
The unbeaten 28-year-old from Philadelphia is now well-positioned to secure a shot at a 154lb world title over the next 12 months, with reports suggesting he could fight again in the early stages of next year.
‘Boots’ previously held the unified WBA and IBF world welterweight titles, achieving this feat back in April when he stopped Lithuania’s Eimantas Stanionis in the sixth round of their Atlantic City showdown.
Speaking to The Ring Magazine, Stanionis spoke fondly of his former rival, as the former WBA welterweight champion revealed the ‘accuracy’ of Ennis one of his finest attributes but saying ‘he has everything.’
“Jaron is a great fighter. He has everything. Speed, power, but the number one thing he does very well is his accuracy. Trust me, he is very accurate and very sharp.”
It has been speculated that ‘Boots’ could face reigning WBC interim super-welterweight champion Vergil Ortiz next, with both fighters said to be interested in facing each other at some stage next year.
Aside from a potential clash with Ortiz, Ennis could go on to challenge WBA world super-welterweight champion Abass Baraou next, who holds a record of 17-1 and has claimed victories over the likes of Yoenis Tellez, Sam Eggington and Macaulay McGowan.
