Jaron Ennis believes he is the best welterweight fighter "in the world" after he secured a unification triumph against Eimantas Stanionis in Atlantic City.
The American claimed victory inside six rounds at Boardwalk Hall to unify the IBF and WBA straps in one of the biggest results in the division for years.

With Mario Barrios and Brian Norman Jr. holding the other crowns available, Ennis could be plotting an undisputed sweep by this time next year.
Speaking in the ring afterwards however, the star suggested he could take on all comers and succeed after rubber-stamping his position atop the pile.
“When I fight top-of-the-line guys, you see a different me," he said. "When I’m fighting for something, it’s a whole different story. Can’t nobody mess with me.
"He's a great fighter, a good guy, but every round, I was getting into my groove and having fun. I was just picking it up, picking it up, picking it up.
"I’m the best fighter in the world [in the welterweight division]. [That is] real talk. None of these fighters can mess with me.”
Asked whether he will pursue further bouts at his current level or look to move up a division, Ennis did not take either option off the table.
"I'll enjoy this victory," he added. "I'll talk to my team, but right now, I just want to enjoy this moment.”
