Vergil Ortiz Jr. posted on social media to take aim at Jaron “Boots” Ennis and to question Alfredo Zayas’ commitment after Zayas pulled out from the title‑unifying junior‑middleweight clash.
Ortiz’s statement follows the unification victory that positioned Ennis for an undisputed belt, and the champion has said his priority is to secure that status before taking an Ortiz fight.
Ennis answered that his immediate focus remains on completing the undisputed quest, 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.
