Eimantas Stanionis Wraps Camp in Lithuania Heads to Wild Card to Close Camp

WBA welterweight champion Eimantas Stanionis (15-0, 9 KOs) of Lithuania wrapped up his training camp in his hometown of Kaunas, Lithuania, as he heads to the United States for the closing phases of his preparation for his welterweight showdown against Jaron “Boots” Ennis (33-0, 29 KOs) of Philadelphia. Stanionis battles Enniis for the IBF, WBA, and Ring Magazine world welterweight titles on April 12 at the Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, New Jersey, live on DAZN.

"Spending these last days training at home with my gym mates and mentoring the young kids at the local afterschool program means everything to me," said Stanionis. "I remember growing up with friends that were struggling, so I feel it’s my duty to help these kids out as best I can. Now, I’m here, and I want to show them that with hard work and dedication, anything is possible."

"Every time I step into the ring, I carry Lithuania with me," Stanionis continued. "This fight isn’t just about me—it’s about my country, my people, and the next generation of Lithuanian fighters. I fight with pride, and on April 12, I plan to make history once again."

"This is the biggest fight of my career, and a victory over Ennis will put my name alongside the best in the world," Stanionis stated. "He’s a great fighter, but I’m coming to prove that I belong at the very top. This is my moment, and I won’t let it slip away."

Stanionis will resume camp at the Wild Card Boxing gym in Hollywood, California with his coach Marvin Somodio ahead of the biggest fight of his career.

"Training in Los Angeles at Wild Card, with coach Marvin, will be the perfect way to sharpen everything up before the fight. The work I put in there, the elite sparring, will make sure I’m 100% ready to go on April 12," he concluded. "I’m excited, focused, and prepared to leave everything in the ring."
