On November 9, hometown hero Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis (32-0 29 KOs) headlines at Philadephia’s Wells Fargo Center once again, defending his IBF welterweight title against Karen Chukhadzhian (24-2, 13 KOs), live worldwide on DAZN.
In the co-feature, WBC super flyweight champion Jesse ‘Bam’ Rodriguez (20-0, 13 KOs) defends his world title against Pedro Guevara (42-4-1 22 KOs).
“I’m excited to be back headlining in my city again,” said Ennis. “I’m ready to continue dominating the division, making a big statement and showing everyone why I’m the best welterweight in the world…it’s time to have some fun, keep crushing whoever is in front of me, put on a beautiful, dominant, crushing performance in front of my family, friends and supporters, while defending and retaining my IBF world title in spectacular fashion. It’s time!”
You wish they both were fighting someone else (especially Ennis), but Boots & Bam on the same card is good stuff! Also really glad Gallo passed on his rematch clause and has chosen to move up to 118.
Maybe one day these guys will fight somebody with a pulse?
Fighting Chukhadzhian again?? You’ve got to be kidding… The first fight wasn’t even competitive.
Josh…the Karen I saw in that first fight…can fight!!!! Boots just rose to the occasion, Boots a good fighter…Karen has very good to excellent movement, good instincts, good eyes in the inside, good punch placement and counters. In that fight gave Boots fits…This is on tape and the tape don’t lie…after that fight I predicted that Karen, though he lost had good upside and would be a champ…Well here we are…this is a dangerous fight for Boots if Karen has improved…Boots in for a fight….don’t sleep on Karen….Tape don’t lie!!!Watch the first fight again
Will be a good fight in Philly to see esp in a big venue for boxing.
My man Boots is fighting a “Karen”.
Nobody else to fight in the welterweight division? 1st champion to fight the same bums again. Way to go boots!
– I saw the first Ennis / Chukhadzhian fight live at the Wells Fargo Center in Philly in November.
– I would normally go to this event in my hometown, but I am going to see O’Shaquie Foster the prior week at the Turning Stone Casino in Verona NY.
– Tickets for the Ennis match are not on sale yet.
– Go Boxing, go !!!!!!!!!!!!
I like Boots, but clearly, he is not fighting anybody. Of course, you should shine and dominate against C-class talent.
To those criticising, it’s an IBF mandatory so blame them.
That and its not like you guys aint hear him call out everybody in the weight class. Outside of Clenelo, you cant just pick and choose who you fight. You cant fight guys who dont wanna fight. Not sure why thats so hard to understand.
