Eimantas Stanionis, a Lithuanian boxer, has held the WBA welterweight title since August 2024, after previously holding the WBA (Regular) title from 2022 to 2024, and is known for his amateur success, including a gold medal at the 2015 European Championships.
Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis, an American boxer, has been the IBF welterweight champion since 2023, earning the title after Terence Crawford was stripped for not defending it, and is seen as a rising star with a strong amateur background, including U.S. National Golden Gloves medals in 2014 and 2015.
The upcoming fight on April 12, 2025, is a welterweight title unification bout for the Ring, IBF, and WBA belts, with Stanionis aiming to disrupt Ennis’ growing hype in a highly anticipated clash.
