Jaron Ennis has vowed to beat Xander Zayas “however I want to” in their world title clash in June.
Zayas (23-0, 13 KOs) will defend his unified WBO and WBA super welterweight world titles against former welterweight champion, Ennis (35-0, 31 KOs) at Barclays Center in Brooklyn on June 27.
‘Boots’ will bid to become a two-weight world champion when he faces the unbeaten 23-year-old titlist.
The Philadelphia man stopped Uisma Lima on his 154 pound debut in October and says a victory over Zayas will see him hailed as the best fighter in the division.
“He a great fighter,” the 28-year-old told YSM Sports Media.
“He got good fundamentals, good jab, he’s smart at times, but I’m taking over.
“This is my division.
“It doesn’t matter what he does, it doesn’t matter what he brings to the table, I’m going to show the world why I’m the best in the world.
“I asked for the Xander fight.
“You’re about to see what’s going to happen.
“This boxing game is really mine and I’m about to show the world.
“It’s going to end however I want it to end.”
Ennis was expected to face long-time rival Vergil Ortiz Jr, however their highly-anticipated showdown fell through with Ortiz embroiled in a legal dispute with his promoter Oscar De La Hoya.
Zayas became unified champion in January when he overcame Abass Baraou to add the WBA strap to his WBO belt and ‘Boots’ believes their clash holds perhaps more significance than the Ortiz match-up.
“I feel like this fight is evening out with the Vergil situation,” he added.
“Vergil got the name, but Vergil don’t got the accolades.
“Xander is a young, unified champion and he’s making a name for himself.”
