Jaron Ennis and Eimantas Stanionis are gearing up for a welterweight title unification bout on April 12. The fight will take place at the Atlantic City Boardwalk Hall in New Jersey.
Ennis, the IBF champion, will face off against Stanionis, who holds the WBA title. Both fighters will put their belts on the line in this 12-round clash, which promises to be a significant event in the welterweight division.
The main event isn't the only attraction on the card. Raymond Ford will defend his WBA Continental North America super featherweight title against Thomas Mattice in a 10-round bout.
Fans will also get to see Omari Jones take on William Jackson in a six-round super welterweight contest. Junior featherweights Arturo Popoca and Christian Carto will go head-to-head for 10 rounds, while Shakhram Giyasov and Franco Maximiliano Ocampo will face off in a 10-round welterweight fight.
This event comes on the heels of Brian Norman Jr.'s recent victory. Norman defended his WBO Welterweight title on March 29 in Las Vegas, securing a third-round technical knockout against Derrieck Cuevas. His performance has stirred up talk about potential future matchups in the division.
The Ennis-Stanionis bout will give boxing fans a chance to see two champions put their titles on the line. With both fighters aiming to unify the welterweight division, this match could reshape the landscape of the weight class.
