Vergil Ortiz Jr’s father Vergil Sr. Refuts what Matchroom promotor Eddie Hern says he has “signed Jaron Ennis to fight the Vergil Ortiz” in 2026.
Ortiz Jr camp denies Jaron Ennis Bout
Vergil jr dad “Hearing anything.”
Why would Hearn say to the media that he has signed the Ortiz JR to fight his guy “Boots” Ennis, for 2026? Is it pressure to show boots that he is trying to do something to be useful? Media telling that the fight against Vergil JR is signed for next year is one way to reduce heat.
Ennis would be naive for himself: “My promoter Hern is a real pedestrian. I’m glad I reused another hitch with the game room.”
Does Ennis even want a fight? With the conversation that he wants two melodies to be comfortable with a £ 154 division, he does not seem to be signed a risky fight against Vergil Jr.

I didn’t know that Eddie Hairn was Vergill MGR, and when he fights, Vergill said. I haven’t heard anything and it’s not hey vergil, you fight with my guy when I want. This shit has sailed twice. Vergill is on his way no matter what someone says. No one is waiting. https://t.co/qtmqjq0f2u

None of us have arrived for the 3rd time. We are still around 2025, not 2026 or 2027. Just as they have done what is best for them. We will continue our schedule no matter who says.
