Ennis, currently ranked in the top five of each of the four sanctioning bodies, shrugged his shoulders in the immediate aftermath. From the moment Avanesyan’s lifeless body bounced off the canvas, Crawford’s supporters rose to their feet in celebration. Officially, the two would square off on December 10th, in Crawford’s backyard in Omaha, Nebraska.
Jaron "Boots" Ennis returns Jan. 7, and is hoping to face Errol Spence Jr after that.
“The only thing holding us up is that we knew Spence was [our] mandatory [option], but we knew he was working on the fight with Terence Crawford. If it was on a Saturday, I would have trained.” “I’ve just been watching a lot of Mike Tyson myself. I watch the first round of the fight and then I go from there. “We have a game plan for what he does well.” That team is led by his father and trainer, Bozy Ennis, who said, “We don’t change up the preparation much fight-by-fight.

In the case of Ortiz, a feeling of apprehension has swept over all of his rivals, resulting in a spotless record through 19 professional bouts. Although he was hopeful that such a victory would lead to a matchup against Spence, he’s been relegated to a bout against Ortiz, one that he acknowledges is both dangerous and well-needed. “That’s a good fight,” said Ennis to BoxingScene.com. Though still unofficial, the WBA sanctioning body ordered their secondary titleholder to make a mandatory defense against the hard-hitting Ortiz. While he’s motivated to eventually face Spence, Ennis (29-0, 27 KOs) reveals that he’s keeping tabs on the soon-to-be-announced showdown between Vergil Ortiz Jr. On January 7th, at the Capital One Arena in Washington D.C., Ennis will officially square off against Karen Chukhadzhian with the winner being awarded the IBF interim crown.

“I don’t want to be somebody I’m not. I know how to roll, and take the power off the shots and things like that. “I want just the big names. “He’s a guy that I want to fight. I don’t be cut. I’m just going to go in there and have fun and be smooth. I’m going to have some fun, and come out with a victory and do it in dominating fashion by getting a knockout. I’m ready to rock & roll.

If he has way, it’ll be day one of his preparations for a superstar opponent. He’s also spoken openly about stepping up to 154 pounds for the right opportunity, and coming back down to 147 pounds if a big fight can be made. I’m going in there to put in work and come out victorious,” said Ennis. He says he’ll be different as a champion, taking on all top challengers before stepping up to 154 pounds to pursue titles in another weight class. The names on his record would only be recognizable if you are an avid follower of Tim Boxeo’s timeline on Twitter. I do my shining in the ring.” In addition to Spence and Crawford, Ennis says he’d welcome bouts with aging former champions Keith Thurman and Yordenis Ugas, or the winner between Vergil Ortiz Jr. A pro since 2016, Ennis has slowly worked his way through the rankings, scoring early knockouts against increasingly better opposition while waiting for Spence or Terence Crawford or any other big name fighter to take the challenge.

I feel like he’s going to be on his bike,” said Jaron Ennis to the Since Spence & Crawford are freezing Boots Ennis out at 147, he should have already seen what time it is and moved up to 154. But after that, Jermell’s schedule is open, allowing Ennis to move up and beat him to become the new king of the 154-lb kingdom. “Whatever he brings, I’m going to adjust.
