    Bohachuk is the opposite of a perfect opponent for his first fight at 154.

    History is not kind to older fighters trying to move back down in weight.

    He's basically a bigger, stronger, better version of Stanionis

    Great move. Lots of great fights to be made for him at 154.

    Ennis against Vergil Ortiz Jr or Bakhram Murtazaliev would be fireworks.

    Boots will be the top dog at 154. Too many straight up and down pressure fighters there for him to jab senseless and use his angles to light up.

    It's about time. He was too big for 147. 154 is already exciting, but now it's an even deeper division.

    Let's see some of the top guys fight the other top guys.

    Confirmation from Boots himself. 154 is a go. Hopefully Bakhram vs Boots is in the works

    Ennis will headline in Philadelphia in August / September. Don’t expect it to be against a world champion. They were talking about someone like Bohachuk (unless the WBC have ordered him to fight Ortiz Jr) and then the plan is for Ennis and Vergil Ortiz Jr to face-off in December / early 2026 on a Riyadh Season show.
