Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis is making an attempt to drum up curiosity from followers on social media to promote tickets for his rematch in opposition to Karen Chukhadzhian on November ninth on the Wells Fargo Heart in Philadelphia.
IBF welterweight champion Ennis (32-0, 29 KOs) has a tricky job getting followers inquisitive about buying tickets for this battle as a result of it’s not one which individuals are inquisitive about.
Boots already beat Chukhadzhian (24-2, 13 KOs) final yr by a one-sided 12-round unanimous resolution in Washington, D.C. The hardcore followers who noticed that battle witnessed Karen in survival mode the whole contest, working across the ring, exposing Ennis’ incapacity to chop off the ring.
Ennis will doubtless have discovered from that battle, nevertheless it doesn’t matter. Nevertheless, that doesn’t change the truth that followers aren’t inquisitive about seeing him battle Chukhadzhian once more so quickly after watching him final yr win by the lopsided scores of 120-108, 120-108, and 120-108.
If ‘Boots’ Ennis’ promoter Eddie Hearn had put the cash into negotiating a battle between him and WBO champion Brian Norman Jr., he wouldn’t need to battle Chukadzhian on November eighth. Hearn failed to barter the battle. So, now Ennis is caught combating somebody who received’t assist him obtain his objective of making an attempt to change into an undisputed champion at 147.
We doubtless received’t see an enchancment in Ennis’ reputation as a result of he’s going to have issues with the slick type that Chukhadzhian makes use of, which is a mix of Shakur Stevenson and Pernell Whitaker. Nobody would look good in opposition to this man, however particularly a slugger like Ennis.
Since Hearn wasn’t prepared to speculate the cash wanted to barter the unification battle for Ennis in opposition to Brian Norman Jr., he ought to have staged this battle in Las Vegas, the place Boots might increase his fan base. Putting the rematch in opposition to Karen in Philadelphia, the place Ennis is already standard, received’t assist him.
“Simply get this battle out of the way in which. Attempt to cease him this time and bounce throughout him,” mentioned Eddie Hearn to Battle Hub TV about what he desires from Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis on November ninth in his rematch in opposition to Karen Chukhadzhian in Philadelphia.
If Hearn is unable to provide you with the cash to arrange a unification battle for Ennis after his rematch with Chukhadzhian on November ninth, he wants to inform him to maneuver as much as 154. It’s a waste of Ennis’ profession for him to remain at 147 combating the likes of Chukhadzhian and David Avanesyan as a result of Hearn can’t negotiate unification fights for him.
Transferring as much as 154 will increase the choices for Ennis in opposition to these fighters:
– Vergil Ortiz Jr
– Serhii Bohachuk
– Tim Tszyu
– Israil Madrimov
– Charles Conwell
– Sebastian Fundora
– Errol Spence
– Terence Crawford
