A Quick‑Turn Match: Ortiz vs. Ennis Could Happen in 48 Hours

Las Vegas, USAWednesday, July 8, 2026

Ortiz’s Manager Announces Rapid Fight Arrangement with Jaron Ennis

The deal is already outlined, and both camps have made compromises. The only delay comes from DAZN’s decision‑making.

  • Fast‑Track Setup
    Ortiz’s manager claims a fight with Jaron Ennis can be arranged in two days if everyone moves fast.

  • Recent Momentum
    Ortiz knocked out his November opponent in round two, with Ennis ringside. Ennis shouted for a bout immediately after the fight.

  • Legal Hurdles
    Legal battles between Ortiz’s team and Golden Boy stalled talks. A U.S. District Court hearing in Las Vegas remains scheduled, adding pressure to close the deal quickly.

  • Ennis’s Credentials
    Ennis is a newly unified champion, having captured the WBO and WBA titles by stopping Xander Zayas in June. Critics note Ennis was hurt in the third round of that match, a moment the manager says shifted the fight’s energy.

  • Alternative Opponents
  • WBC champion Sebastian Fundora (promoter prefers mandatory challengers).
  • IBF champion Josh Kelly, who shares a promoter with Ennis, could offer an easier path.

  • Manager’s Stance
    The manager dismisses the idea that belt accumulation matters. “The match is ready; it’s up to Ennis and his team to commit,” he says.
