Jaron Ennis: “Keith Thurman don’t want to know me. I’m dangerous!”
In every division, there is one fighter considered to be high-risk/low-reward, simply because they can disrupt the game plan. It has been an ongoing theme for top welterweight contender Jaron “Boots” Ennis (28-0, 26ko). The talented Philadelphia fighter responded to former unified champion Keith Thurman’s past comments of having no knowledge of who he is.
Boots is a serious threat to any of the top guys in the division, and he is an eyeshot within getting a title opportunity. He has forced the boxing community to recognize his ability by demolishing fighters that have never been knocked out or pulverizing guys that were supposed to be a step-up test.

Thurman, earlier in the year, in an interview with FightHype, claimed to not know the Philadelphia fighter. It raised several eyebrows within the boxing community as many felt Thurman had to be joking. It is unimaginable that he has not heard of Jaron Ennis.
“The young man that you just mentioned, never heard of him.”
ENNIS HAS A SERIOUS MESSAGE FOR THURMAN
There is no top contender in any division burning up the scene faster than Boots. Some fans even believe he has what it takes to dethrone unified champions Errol Spence Jr and WBO champion Terence Crawford. It is hard to fathom anyone surrounding the sport, especially a former champion of the division, not knowing anything about Ennis!
During an interview on The Last Stand Podcast with Brain Custer, Boots explained why Keith Thurman and other top fighters are not in a hurry to fight him.
“I take that as a compliment cause he doesn’t want to know me. They all know I am dangerous, that is the real reason why I am getting skipped around this weight division. Everybody in the weight division knows I am the dangerous one in the weight division.”
When asked if he had a message for the former unified champion, Ennis showed his tongue is just as sharp as his fists.
“When he comes back, if he is ready, I am here. I’ll be waiting for you. I stay ready, anytime, anywhere. We can fight in your living room, your kitchen, your pool, your backyard, anywhere, just call me. I am ready, right now.”
