Vergil Ortiz Jr. posted on social media to call out Jaron “Boots” Ennis and to probe Alfredo Zayas’ commitment after Zayas pulled out from the title‑unifying junior‑middleweight clash.
Ortiz’s tirade follows the unification victory that positioned Ennis for an undisputed belt, and the champion commented his aim is to cement that standing before taking an Ortiz fight.
Ennis responded that his immediate focus remains on finishing the undisputed pursuit, putting an Ortiz matchup on hold 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.
