ATLANTIC CITY, NEW JERSEY - APRIL 11: Jaron Ennis and Eimantas Stanionis pose after the weigh-in for ... More their IBF, WBA and Ring Magazine welterweight championship fight at the Circus Maximus at Caesars Atlantic City on April 11, 2025 in Atlantic City, New Jersey. (Photo by) We're underway in Atlantic City. Who doesn't love a legitimate welterweight title fight? At the end of the night, barring a draw, the IBF and WBA welterweight championships will be unified. IBF champion Jaron 'Boots' Ennis will face WBA champion Eimantas Stanionis in a true unification fight. The winner will also become the Ring Magazine champion at 147 pounds, which adds another layer of prestige. I have you covered for the entire televised/streamed portions of the broadcast. Here is a look at all of the fights. The results will be filled in as they happen. Main Event – Welterweight Unification Bout Jaron Ennis (33-0, 29 KOs) vs. Eimantas Stanionis (15-0, 9 KOs) IBF, WBA, and Ring Magazine titles Main Card (DAZN, 8:00 PM ET) Results: TBA Results: TBA Results: TBA Undercard (YouTube, 5:00 PM ET) Results: TBA Results: TBA Results: TBA Results: TBA As the fights play out, I'll also include KO and knockdown highlights where available. The co-main event carries some interest. Though it is not a championship fight, Raymond Ford is one of the top young American fighters in the smaller weight classes. He bounced back from the first loss of his pro career against Nick Ball in June 2024 with a unanimous decision win over Orlando Gonzalez. On Saturday, Ford will battle the rugged Thomas Mattice. Gonzalez fought like a man determined not to be stopped—even if that meant a refusal to engage. It made for a boring fight, but it was still a dominant performance from Ford. While Gonzalez didn't pose much of an issue for Ford, Mattice should be far more competitive. Mattice is 22-4-1, and he has been in the ring with higher levels of competition. The early portion of the stream has IBF super lightweight champion Richardson Hitchins handling color analysis. Early on, he is doing an excellent job. It'll be interesting to see if DAZN continues to have him wear this hat during future fight cards. It's a great look. Keep refreshing for the latest reactions and results.

Jared ‘Boots' Ennis Vs. Eimantas Stanionis: What Time Does It Start?
ATLANTIC CITY, NEW JERSEY - APRIL 12: Jaron Ennis and Eimantas Stanionis Weigh In ahead of their ... More Ring Magazine, IBF World & WBA World Welterweight Title fight tomorrow night at Caesars Hotel on April 12, 2025 in Atlantic City, New Jersey. (Photo by Mark Robinson/) The talking and weighing in is over. Jaron 'Boots' Ennis will put his IBF welterweight crown on the line against WBA champion Eimantas Stanionis in a premier unification fight. Both fighters were on weight on Friday and are systems are go. Boxing fans, this is the kind of fight you should watch and appreciate. Two undefeated champions in the prime of their careers looking to unify titles in one of the sport's premier weight classes. It doesn't get much better than this. Here's the viewing info. The action gets underway at 8 p.m. ET and happens at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, New Jersey. The fight card will be streamed by DAZN. Ennis is eyeing the potential of being appointed the Ring Magazine welterweight champion. If he knocks off Stanionis, he will achieve that goal. Stanionis has the opportunity to gain some respect. Despite holding the WBA title, many aren't recognizing him as a legitimate champion at 147 pounds. ATLANTIC CITY, NEW JERSEY - APRIL 11: Jaron Ennis weighs in for his IBF, WBA and Ring Magazine ... More welterweight championship fight against Eimantas Stanionis at the Circus Maximus at Caesars Atlantic City on April 11, 2025 in Atlantic City, New Jersey. (Photo by) If he pulls the upset and defeats Ennis, he will force people to respect him and likely earn another strong payday in a rematch with Boots. 'One fight at a time,' Ennis told me during an exclusive interview. "As long as I be myself—and like I said, I finally got what I wanted: unifications and the Ring Magazine title. That's motivation right there. Not too many people can say they held that belt. Floyd was the last one." ATLANTIC CITY, NEW JERSEY - APRIL 11: Eimantas Stanionis weighs in for his IBF, WBA and Ring ... More Magazine welterweight championship fight against Jaron Ennis at the Circus Maximus at Caesars Atlantic City on April 11, 2025 in Atlantic City, New Jersey. (Photo by) Stanionis' come-forward, body-punishing style could present a different kind of challenge than Ennis has seen in his career. 'I don't know—it just hurts more than the head,' Staninonis said to me during our exclusive interview. "I watched a lot of Mexican boxing growing up—Chavez, Canelo. That style stuck with me." The 30-year-old Lithuanian last fought in May 2024 when he defeated Gabriel Maestre via unanimous decision. 'I know he's a big star in the U.S., and I've always been the underdog here,' Stanionis said. "I knew if I lost, I'd have to go back to my country. That's what drives me." Stanionis hasn't shown off major punching power in his career. His last win by KO came in December 2020 when he stopped Janer Gonzalez in the ninth round. As his level of competition has raised, his KO rate has dipped. That hasn't been the case for Ennis. While he didn't stop Karen Chukhadzhian in his last fight back in November 2024, he'd scored back-to-back stoppage wins over David Avanesyan and Roiman Villa in his last two fights. In fact, Chukhadzhian is the only opponent Boots hasn't stopped since 2017. Boots looks to bang in most fights and it seems clear, Stanionis isn't going to back up. Perhaps the power advantage could be the deciding factor on Saturday night. We'll find out soon. Be on the lookout for my live coverage of the event.
