Sun Apr 13 08:30:56 UTC 2025: ## Ennis Unifies Welterweight Titles with Brutal Knockout Victory
**Atlantic City, NJ** – Jaron “Boots” Ennis has cemented his place as the top welterweight boxer, unifying the IBF and WBA titles with a devastating sixth-round technical knockout victory over Eimantas Stanionis Saturday night. The electrifying fight, held in Atlantic City, saw Ennis dominate the latter half of the contest, relentlessly targeting Stanionis’s body with powerful blows.
While Stanionis started strong, landing two significant punches in the third round, Ennis’s superior speed and power proved too much. A dominant fourth round saw Ennis wobble Stanionis with his jab before unleashing a series of devastating left-handed uppercuts and body shots, forcing Stanionis to his knee. Another crushing body shot just before the bell ended the round left Stanionis clearly vulnerable. Stanionis’s corner ultimately decided he could not continue, ending the fight.
The 27-year-old Ennis, now boasting a record of 34-0 with 30 knockouts, added the WBA and Ring Magazine belts to his already held IBF title. He expressed his desire to be considered among the pound-for-pound best fighters and said that he’s put on a “show” showcasing his speed, power, and defense. The victory marked his fourth successful title defense since winning the IBF title in January 2023.
Stanionis, a 30-year-old Lithuanian Olympian, suffered his first career defeat, dropping his record to 15-1 (9 KOs). He was elevated to the full WBA champion in August after Terence Crawford vacated the belt.
Ennis’s performance solidified his status as a rising star in the sport and leaves fans eagerly anticipating his next challenge. Whether he’ll remain at welterweight or move up in weight remains to be seen.
