Ennis says Zayas has more to worry about and insists his style cannot be duplicated in training camp
Jaron Ennis has rejected Xander Zayas’ suggestion that he is facing an unfamiliar challenge on June 27, insisting the unbeaten Puerto Rican contender will have more adjustments to make once the fight begins. Speaking on Nightcap, Ennis argued that while he has seen fighters with styles similar to Zayas, his own style is far more difficult to prepare for.
“He’s a solid fighter, but it’s a lot of guys that fight like him,” Boots said during an appearance on Nightcap. “It’s not a lot of guys that fight like me.”
Ennis went on to suggest that the burden of adjustment will fall more heavily on his opponent once the opening bell rings.
“Can’t nobody that he got inspire, nobody they got can’t do what I do,” Ennis said. “They don’t know how I’m coming. They don’t know what I’m going to do on fight night. So they got a lot more to worry about than me.”
While the former unified welterweight champion stopped short of revealing any specifics about his preparation, he hinted that fans should expect an entertaining performance when he makes his latest bid for championship success.
“All I’m going to say is buckle up. Put your seat belt on fight night,” Ennis said. “Y’all gonna see it all on fight night.”
Ennis enters the contest looking to strengthen his standing among boxing’s elite after his move up to junior middleweight. Zayas, meanwhile, remains unbeaten and will be seeking the signature victory of his career against one of the sport’s most gifted fighters.
