He wants to impress the fans and make a \u201cstatement\u201d in his debut at 154 on Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>No One Bullies Ennis<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Boots\u2019 vacated his IBF welterweight title on July 7, 2025, and gave up his WBA belt around the same time. He\u2019d been having problems making weight, and decided to give up on his goal of becoming undisputed champion at 147.<\/p>\n<p>Given the reluctance of the other welterweight champions to fight Ennis, it could have taken years for him to accomplish that.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI got to make a statement at 154,\u201d said Jaron \u2018Boots\u2019 Ennis to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=F7Yk3fNIT0w\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">TheOnlyKayla<\/a>, talking about his opponent, Uisma Lima, whom he faces next Saturday, October 11. \u201cI think he\u2019s going to try to think he\u2019s the bigger guy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Eddie Hearn\u2019s Matchup Call<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a tough position to be in for Ennis. His promoter, Eddie Hearn, picked out a lower-tier fighter in Lima, and it\u2019s put him in a position where he\u2019s not going to receive credit even if he does obliterate him.<\/p>\n<p>If \u2018Boots\u2019 struggles to win, like he did in his rematch with Karen Chukhadzhian, he\u2019s going to be criticized. The statement he hopes to make won\u2019t happen.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s going to try to bully me, and that\u2019s not going to work. We\u2019re prepared for that, and we\u2019re working on other things as well. So, I\u2019m getting my mind right physically and mentally for this fight. I\u2019m ready to beat him up, beat him down, and break his will and get a beautiful knockout,\u201d said Ennis.<\/p>\n<p>Lima\u2019s Only Game Plan<\/p>\n<p>Lima is going to fight aggressively like he always does, because that\u2019s his style. It\u2019s unrealistic for him to change his fighting style to box Ennis. At 32, Uisma\u2019s style is already set. He\u2019s going to try to beat \u2018Boots\u2019 at his own game and hope that he can land something big enough to take him out of there.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"YouTube video\" width=\"480\" height=\"360\" data-pin-nopin=\"true\" nopin=\"nopin\" class=\"perfmatters-lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/1759687642_234_hqdefault.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"182\" data-end=\"497\">Dan Ambrose has been a leading voice at Boxing News 24 for years, known for his no-nonsense takes on the sport.
