American welterweight Jaron Ennis unified the IBF and WBA world titles with a sixth-round technical knockout of Lithuania’s Eimantas Stanionis in Atlantic City.

Ennis, 27, won the IBF title in November 2023 and saw off WBA champion Stanionis to maintain his unbeaten record with a 34th victory.

Stanionis, 30, had held the WBA welterweight crown since 2022 and won all his previous 15 professional bouts, but failed to come out for the seventh round after suffering a series of savage body shots in the sixth.

“What’s crazy is that I had a dream I was going to stop him just like this, and it came true,” said Ennis after completing the third defence of his IBF title.
