About this listen

Former IBF, WBA, and lineal welterweight champion Jaron "Boots" Ennis sits down with Ak & Barak ahead of his June 27 Barclays Center showdown with undefeated Xander Zayas.

Boots breaks down why Terence Crawford and Errol Spence Jr. never came his way, the real story behind the Vergil Ortiz negotiations falling apart, and the alleged Devin Haney 152 fight offer that was floated his way. He also opens up about sparring Canelo Alvarez during Bud Crawford's Canelo camp, his honest reaction to Conor Benn leaving Eddie Hearn and Matchroom for Zuffa Boxing, and why he thinks Keith Thurman is a different fighter today. Plus: growing up in Philly with his brothers protecting him from the streets, why Pernell Whitaker is his favorite fighter of all time, and his bold knockout prediction for Xander Zayas at 154.
