    Announced by Eddie Hearn just now.

    Very good matchup, two highly skilled fighters coming to their prime.

    Leaning towards Boots.

    This will be Boots hardest fight people see Xander and think he's basic but he's mastered the craft of orthodox boxing and has very good footwork and iq but Ennis is a generational talent he will win

    I like Zayas he’s young, respectful and willing to fight the best

    I’ve seen a lot of people saying this is a good fight so I’m probably wrong, but I just can’t see this being close. I think Ennis will win with ease. Maybe I’m just not seeing what others are seeing in Xander. (I’ve been wrong plenty of times before though).

    Decent fight nothing special though. For a guy with the hype of Ennis it's pretty sad that this is his biggest fight to date.

    Too many could've should've for Ennis. Even at 147 his resume is garbage.

    Thats what happens when the other side ducks. Ennis couldn't get the right fights until now. After Boots becomes unified champion he's going to demolish that Ortiz Jr skyscraper people have been building up

    Maybe but I wouldn't be surprised if Zayas beats him first.

    Bad fight for zayas. He could get a career altering beating here.
