Vergil Ortiz Jr. and Jaron Ennis Nearly Set for April Showdown

Talks for Ortiz Jr. vs Ennis at 154 close this week for an April Las Vegas date. Ennis wanted a tune-up, stopping Uisma Lima in Round 1 in October; Ortiz followed by halting Erickson Lubin in under two. They faced off. Talks turned messy after Ortiz sued Golden Boy, alleging Oscar De La Hoya tried to derail it. No title, bragging rights.
