Matchroom talked about Ennis and Stanionis' preparation for the unification bout

Ennis signed with Matchroom Boxing last year and last boxed in November. The American boxer was also recently scheduled to fight Virgil Ortiz, but decided to stay at welterweight for the time being.

Last year, Stanionis returned to the ring after a two-year hiatus and won on points over Gabriel Maestre. The undefeated Lithuanian had been inactive since May.
