Jaron “Boots” Ennis has signed a fresh multi-fight extension with Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom Boxing and streaming partner DAZN, cementing a partnership that began in April 2024 and has since carried the Philadelphian from stalled prodigy to unified welterweight champion.
The new pact arrives on the heels of Ennis’ April beat-down of Eimantas Stanionis, a six-round demolition that added the WBA belt to his IBF strap. Having cleaned out the 147-lb division, the 28-year-old is now officially moving to 154 lbs, where Hearn still talks of a three-division undisputed quest but more realistically targets lineal dominance at both welterweight and super-welterweight.

“Working with Eddie and Matchroom is just a great connection,” Ennis said in the press release. “I’m ready to get going at 154 and I’m hunting the big names and the belts - now it’s time to shut everybody up!”
Hearn, for his part, lauded Ennis as “one of very few US fighters who can draw big live gates,” noting that three shows with Boots have already sold more than 30,000 tickets and delivered strong DAZN viewership.“I’m so excited to see Boots set about the 154-lb division, where you are going to see a different beast and his full arsenal on display,” Hearn said.
