Vergil Ortiz Jr. went on social media to take aim at Jaron “Boots” Ennis and to scrutinize Alfredo Zayas’ commitment after Zayas pulled out from the title‑unifying junior‑middleweight clash.
Ortiz’s outburst follows the unification victory that positioned Ennis for an undisputed belt, and the champion stated his goal is to lock in that status ahead of an Ortiz matchup.
Ennis responded that his immediate focus remains on finishing the undisputed pursuit, putting an Ortiz matchup on hold for now. The boxing community remains in discussion about 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.
