His boots were made for boxing, and that’s just what he does! Unbeaten welterweight Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis has been walking all over his rivals since turning pro in 2016, and he looks to extend his winning streak to 33-0 when he makes the third defense of his IBF welterweight belt at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
It’s Jaron Ennis’ first hometown fight since he floored Raymond Serrano in the second round back in 2018. His opponent on Saturday, November 9 is Karen Chukhadzhian, who he beat less than two years ago, when claiming the vacant IBF interim welterweight title. Despite dominating that fight back in January 2023 and recording a unanimous points decision (all three judges scoring the bout 120-108), Ennis was widely criticized by fans and boxing pundits for his lackluster display. It’s also the only occasion that the Philly fighter has been taken the full 12-round distance in his career.
The criticism seemed to get to Ennis, as he followed up that original Chukhadzhian fight with two emphatic performances against Roiman Villa and David Avanesyan, which took his career stoppage-win percentage to over 90%. Ennis will be hoping to give a more polished performance in this rematch against the East European boxer.
Chukhadzhian heads into the Philadelphia clash on the back of a three-fight winning streak. Prior to beating Harry Scarff on points in May in his most recent ring appearance, the Ukrainian fighter had clinched the IBF intercontinental welterweight belt when stopping Pietro Rossetti twelve months ago. Both those bouts took place on German soil and Chukhadzhian is returning to action in America for the first time since losing to ‘Boots’. The co-feature contest at the Wells Fargo Center is also an eye-catching encounter, as the current WBC super flyweight champ, Jesse “Bam” Rodriguez, defends his title against Pedro Guevara.
