Vergil Ortiz Jr. went on social media to challenge Jaron “Boots” Ennis and to probe Alfredo Zayas’ commitment after Zayas withdrawn from the unification junior‑middleweight fight.
Ortiz’s tirade follows the unification win that positioned Ennis for an undisputed belt, and the champion commented his goal is to lock in that status before taking an Ortiz fight.
Ennis responded that his immediate focus remains on completing the undisputed quest, shelving an Ortiz fight for the moment. 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.
