Boots Ennis is reportedly eyeing a move up to heavyweight due to the ongoing issues surrounding the welterweight title. Ennis is one of the most exciting prospects in boxing, but his hopes of becoming the undisputed welterweight champion have been blocked by the reluctance of the current title holders to fight him.
Unification Stalemate
Ennis holds the IBF and WBO welterweight titles, but the WBC and WBA titles are held by Errol Spence Jr. and Terence Crawford, respectively. Spence and Crawford have both been reluctant to fight each other to unify the titles, let alone face Ennis.
Frustration Mounts
The lack of a clear path to unification has led to Ennis growing increasingly frustrated with the welterweight division. In a recent interview, he said, I’m tired of waiting for these guys to fight each other. I’m the best welterweight in the world, and I’m not going to waste any more time chasing ghosts.
Heavyweight Ambitions
With his welterweight dreams seemingly at a standstill, Ennis is now considering a move up to heavyweight. The heavyweight division is home to some of the most recognizable names in boxing, and Ennis believes he has the size and power to compete at the highest level.
Potential Opponents
If Ennis does move up to heavyweight, he could face a number of intriguing opponents, including Tyson Fury, Deontay Wilder, and Anthony Joshua. These are some of the biggest names in boxing, and a fight with any of them would be a major event.
Decision Time
Ennis is expected to make a decision on his future in the coming weeks. If he does move up to heavyweight, it will be a major shakeup in the boxing landscape. Ennis is one of the most talented fighters in the world, and his move to heavyweight would make the division even more exciting.
Kind regards
