Jaron “Boots” Ennis and Josh Kelly are on a collision course to throw down in a major super welterweight title unification fight on Feb. 27, 2027 inside State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Ga., according to longtime boxing analyst, Dan Rafael.
Ennis is the current WBA and WBO 154-pound champion and is considered one of the best boxers in the game today. With an undefeated record 36-0-1 with 32 knockouts, so it’s easy to see why. “Boots” was last seen defeating Xander Zayas via seventh-round TKO this past
summer.
And while he was linked to a potential mega-fight against Vergil Ortiz, but a title unification bout will take precedence.
As for Kelly, he is the current IBF super welterweight champion and has a record of 19-1-1. While talented, the British brawler has yet to secure a major staple win that has catapulted him to super stardom, though a win over “Boots” will definitely change that.
As it stands, Sebastain Fundora — who is fresh off a knockout win over Ermal Hadribeaj — is the other champion in the division, staking claim to the official WBC strap, while the aforementioned Vergil Ortiz has the interim title. This is without a doubt one of the most stacked divisions in the game, so 2027 should expect a lot of bangers.
