Jaron Ennis and Chris van Heerden fought in December 2020, where the bout was called off after a massive headbutt. Although the fight didn’t complete a single round, Ennis stayed on top by dominating the South-African.

Post the fight, Heerden approached Ennis’ father and trainer and shared his notions on his son. Bozy Ennis got stunned when Heerden compared ‘Boots’ power to that of the welterweight champion Errol Spence Jr.

His father added that Heerden went to Ennis and said, “I was trying to get you, take you in the deep waters and all that, but you hit harder than Spence man.”
