Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis posted on social media that he plans to return to the ring to choose up his thirty third win earlier than his subsequent battle.
Unbeaten IBF welterweight champion Ennis (32-0, 29 KOs) didn’t say who his opponent shall be, however his promoter, Eddie Hearn, has already talked about that he plans on staying at 147 to seize all of the titles.
Hearn mentioned he would communicate to the IBF necessary Karen Chukhadzhian administration about the place to stage the battle with Boots. He desires it to be in Philadelphia, the place Ennis, 27, attracts giant crowds on the Properly Fargo Middle. Nonetheless, Hearn isn’t saying the plan if Karen’s promoters refuse that concept and demand on inserting it in Germany.
Regardless of the excessive reward that Hearn provides Ennis, he surprisingly misplaced his current purse bid for his necessary in opposition to Karen. Some really feel that Hearn would have by no means misplaced a handbag bid of this have been his flagship fighter, Anthony Joshua, making a protection in opposition to somebody.
It’s not a shock that Ennis shall be staying at 147 as a result of he will get hit rather a lot, and the fighters within the 154 can be harmful for him. He had a tricky time beating slugger Roiman Villa final 12 months in July, taking lots of heavy photographs all through the battle till knocking him out within the tenth spherical.
Even in Boots Ennis’ final battle in opposition to fringe contender David Avanesyan, he was punished rather a lot earlier than knocking him out within the sixth. Shifting as much as 154 can be a danger for Ennis as a result of he may not have the identical outcomes.
We simply noticed how weak Terence Crawford regarded shifting as much as 154 final August in Los Angeles. Clearly, a few of that’s Crawford’s age and inactivity, however he was extra bothered by his opponent’s energy and measurement. Ennis would face the identical issues if he moved as much as 154. He gained’t have to fret about energy in his subsequent battle in opposition to Karen, who’s a light-weight hitter, who strikes rather a lot across the ring.
BACK AGAIN! 😈 ITS TIME TO SHINE AND GET BACK IN MR.CATCHABODY MODE 🐺⚰️ #LOCKEDIN🔒 ROAD TO 33-0 💣
