Ennis last dazzled fans in July when he defended the interim title by knocking out Roiman Villa in the 10th round in Atlantic City.

Following his win against Villa, Ennis extended his unbeaten streak to 31 fights, with a stunning 28 knockouts to his name.

The young champion’s ascent in the boxing world was further solidified in November when he was promoted to champion after Terence Crawford vacated the title. Speaking on his new partnership, Ennis expressed his enthusiasm and determination, stating, “I’m excited for this partnership with Eddie Hearn, Matchroom, and DAZN. I can’t wait to continue making my mark and becoming undisputed World champion. I’ve been out of the ring for a year, and I cannot wait to get back in and do what I do best; entertain the fans and put on clinics. There are blockbuster fights on the horizon for me, and I am ready to deliver them.”
