What Jaron Ennis said

Ennis holds the IBF welterweight title and has long sought high-profile opponents in the division. The Philadelphia fighter has faced criticism over his level of opposition, but maintains he is ready to face anyone. His claim comes as the welterweight picture remains fragmented across multiple sanctioning bodies.

What it moves

Ennis will need to secure a signature win to back up his claim. The welterweight division features several established names who could dispute his assertion. Whether promoters can deliver those fights will determine if his prediction holds.
