Karen’s promoters received the purse bid to manage the place to stage the battle, however Hearn may overpay to persuade him to battle in Ennis’ hometown in Philadelphia.
WBC tremendous Flyweight champion ‘Bam’ Rodriguez (20-0, 13 KOs) could possibly be defending in opposition to WBC interim champ Guevara (42-4-1, 22 KOs). That’s clearly not the perfect location for the Texas native Bam to defend his WBC 115-lb title, but when he’s paid nicely by promoter Eddie Hearn, it will likely be value combating in Philadelphia.
“Bam will battle within the U.S. subsequent. We’re planning a extremely huge present for November within the US. It could possibly be on the East Coast,” stated Hearn to iFL TV. “We need to proceed the success that we’ve had (with Boots) in Philadelphia. We’re talking to Karen’s staff; we’ll see what’s subsequent.”

Ennis beat Karen by a one-sided 12-round unanimous determination final January, profitable by the huge scores of 120-108 x 3.
Hearn had hoped to swerve Boots Ennis’ IBF-ordered necessary protection in opposition to Karen by combating a unification in opposition to WBO welterweight champion Brian Norman Jr. Nonetheless, Hearn selected to not meet the $2.2 million asking value for Norman Jr. to battle Ennis in Philadelphia.
Norman Sr, Brian Jr’s father, stated they’d be prepared to just accept Hearn’s $1.7 million supply if the battle have been to be held in a impartial venue in Las Vegas. Hearn didn’t conform to that deal. So, Boots is now caught defending in opposition to Karen in a battle that few followers need to see.
