Unbeaten IBF welterweight champion Jaron Ennis will mount the first defense of his crown when he faces off against David Avanesyan in a hotly anticipated bout at Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States this weekend.
Elevated to the title after Terence Crawford refused to fight the American as his mandatory challenger, the former Golden Gloves winner was set to meet Cody Crowley in his maiden bout with the belt.
But after a retina issue forced the latter’s withdrawal, Russian Avanesyan has stepped in to fill the void, more than a year and a half after his last fight, which saw him downed by Crawford for a fourth career loss.
With a near-flawless record to his name, Ennis will be the hot favorite to triumph when the pair meet in the ring - but his rival will be no pushover, and fans could be set for a thrilling contest when they square up to each other.
