Stanionis Promises Action-Packed Fight Against Ennis in Highly Anticipated Unification Bout

Eimantas Stanionis is ready to deliver an action-packed performance when he faces Jaron “Boots” Ennis in their unification fight this Saturday. The Lithuanian is eager to add Ennis’ IBF title to his own WBA strap, and he’s confident in his approach, stating, “All gas, no brakes” when describing what fans can expect in Atlantic City.

While Ennis is known for his quiet demeanor outside the ring, he wasted no time responding to Stanionis’ bold prediction. “He said all gas, no brakes. Yeah, that’s what we want. He’s going to run right into a rock!” Ennis declared, showing his confidence ahead of the clash.

This fight is crucial for Ennis as he continues his quest for greatness and legacy, aiming to follow in the footsteps of boxing legends like Sugar Ray Leonard and Floyd Mayweather.

The fight will take place at the iconic Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, where Mayweather made history almost 20 years ago with his dominant six-round victory over Arturo Gatti. Ennis is confident of a similar performance this weekend, saying, “I ain’t going to look for it [the knockout], but it’s going to come for sure. We’re going to have fun. We’re going to put on a show.”

For Stanionis, this fight holds personal significance as well. The 29-year-old has been pushing himself through the most intense training camp of his career, sacrificing time with his pregnant wife, who is due to give birth around the time of the fight.

Despite the challenges, Stanionis is determined to put on a memorable performance. “This camp was like my most brutal training. It was the longest. I sacrificed a lot. I leave my family. My wife is pregnant. The baby might come today or tomorrow,” he revealed.

Matchroom promoter Eddie Hearn made light of the situation, assuring fans that if Stanionis’ baby arrives during the fight, the fighter will remain in Atlantic City. Stanionis confirmed, “Yes, yes, for sure. We are prepared for everything.”

Both fighters are determined to make a statement, and with their contrasting styles and immense potential, this unification bout is set to be a thrilling spectacle for boxing fans.
