On the clock: Jaron Ennis must face the compulsory challenger Shakhram Giyasov after the elevation of the WBA Super title

The WBA committee voted to raise the Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis (34-0, 30 KB) to a super Weight Champion Welter and forced to defend against his compulsory Shakhram (17-0, 10 KB).

Deadline for 120 days

Ennis is on the stopwatch, needing to defend himself against Giyasov in the 120 days from the moment he won the WBA title against Eimantas Stanionis on April 12. Giyasov is a more powerful version of Karen ChukhadzhianA fighter who gave the “boots” in a difficult period on November 9 of last year. Giyasov has skills, power and he can move. On paper, it is a nightmare for easy -to -hit boots.

Ennis cannot avoid defending himself against Giyasov, because he has already ruled out to allow him to fight Stanionis in a confrontation of unification. Of course, the promoter of boots, Eddie Hearn, can seek a way out to get around his defense of the compulsory title.

If Hearn can set up a unification fight for Ennis with the weight champion Welter WBO Brian Norman or WBC champion Mario Barrios, he can get out of this risky title defense against the talented Olympic silver medalist Giyasov.

Hearn should open his piggy bank and give Norman and Barrios a big offer for them to agree to fight Ennis. These champions will not agree to fight Ennis for the money that Hearn offers because their chances of winning would not be great. I don’t see any of those guys who was fighting with Ennis.

If Turki Alashikh has chosen to help Hearn out by offering Barrios or Norman a large handbag to fight Ennis, the fight can occur, and it can make a trip from Giyasov. This is what Hearn probably hopes because if he lets in fighting Giyasov, he could lose or look as bad as in his revenge match with Karen. The stock of boots fell from this fight.

Fortunately for him, he had a weak champion, Stanionis, holding the WBA. It was the ideal opponent for Ennis to look like 24K gold against an imperfect belt holder.

“Ennis is now mandated to defend its super championship against Shakhram Giyasov – the compulsory official challenger of the division … According to the WBA rules, Ennis must face Giyasov within 120 days of his victory on April 12 over Stanionis. The winner of Ennis vs Giyasov will be required to face the winner of (Ryan) Garcia vs. Wba The Committee ruled today.
