HOT PROSPECT JARON ENNIS STAYING BUSY

Post by Best Coast »

Former amateur star Jaron Ennis has already racked up 14 wins in 17 months as a pro, making him one of the most active prospects anywhere. The 5'10" Philly welter was only 18 when he finished 2nd in the 2016 US Olympic Trials at 141 pounds, losing in the boxoffs to eventual Olympian Gary A Russell after beating Russell in the quarterfinals. Ennis was still 18 when he turned pro in April 2016 and has fought almost every month since then.

Victory Boxing Promotions has found a new home in Philadelphia. The growing promotional outfit will make its return to the City of Brotherly love, and re-launch its Philly Strong series at the 23rd Street Armory in Rittenhouse Square, Philadelphia on October 21st.

The card will be headlined by Jaron “Boots” Ennis (14-0, 12KO), who has racked up six wins in 2017 alone. It was recently announced that Ennis, who is trained by his father Bozy Ennis, and managed by Cameron Dunkin, will be honored at Philadelphia’s Briscoe Awards for the third time. He will take home 2016 Rookie of the Year honors, just days before he steps into the ring in front of his home town for the first time since June. After stopping veteran Wilfredo Acuna in the first round in that fight, Ennis has fought twice more – once in Durham, North Carolina, and once in Washington D.C.

“Without question, Boots is one of the best young fighters in the United States,” said Victory Boxing Promotions Founder and Promoter, Chris Middendorf. “We have kept him extremely busy, fighting him 14 times since his debut on April 30th last year. We have done this because of his skills, and his rapid development. He has impressed each time we’ve put a challenge in front of him. We are considering several opponents for him for October 21st, all of whom will be solid tests.” Middendorf added that Boots would be fighting at least once more before October 21st.
