Vergil Ortiz Jr. posted on social media to call out Jaron “Boots” Ennis and to probe Alfredo Zayas’ commitment after Zayas stepped aside from the unification junior‑middleweight fight.
Ortiz’s statement follows the title‑unifying win that left Ennis poised for an undisputed title, and the champion commented his aim is to cement that standing ahead of an Ortiz matchup.
Ennis responded that his current focus stays on securing the undisputed goal, delaying an Ortiz bout for now. The boxing community continues to debate 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.
