Lopez and Ennis Discuss Potential Fight

Teofimo Lopez Jr. and Jaron 'Boots' Ennis are reportedly in discussions for a potential welterweight clash, which could be a significant event for the division. Promoted by Bob Arum's Top Rank and Eddie Hearn's Matchroom Boxing, the fight is expected to be a pay-per-view event on ESPN and DAZN if finalized. Lopez, a two-division champion, is looking to move up from 140 pounds to face the undefeated Ennis at 147 pounds, seeking higher-profile challenges. Despite some skepticism about its pay-per-view status, the fight represents an opportunity for both fighters to enhance their standing in the sport. Ennis, who had contemplated moving to 154 pounds, has decided to remain in the welterweight division for this bout. The potential fight is seen as a much-needed spark for the welterweight category, with both fighters eager for a high-stakes showdown.
