Vergil Ortiz Jr. went on social media to call out Jaron “Boots” Ennis and to question Alfredo Zayas’ commitment after Zayas pulled out from the undisputed junior‑middleweight bout.
Ortiz’s outburst follows the unification win that left Ennis poised for an undisputed title, and the champion commented his goal is to lock in that status before taking an Ortiz fight.
Ennis replied that his immediate focus remains on completing the undisputed quest, putting an Ortiz matchup on hold for now. The boxing community continues to debate 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.
