JARON Ennis will face a brand new opponent on July 13. Southpaw David Avanesyan (30-4-1, 18 KOs) has stepped in to interchange Cody Crowley, who withdrew as a result of persistent eye injury. Avanesyan, a former European champion, inflicted Josh Kelly’s first skilled loss in 2021. The Newark-based upsetter beforehand snapped the 27-0 document of Spanish banger Kerman Lejarraga, so Ennis will should be on his guard.

Boxing as a headliner within the Wells Fargo Heart, ‘Boots’ (31-0, 28 KOs) is making the primary defence of his lately upgraded IBF title. Former champion Terence Crawford defeated Avanesyan in six rounds on the tail finish of 2022, so this might be an honest measuring stick between the pair.
“Now that Crowley is formally not my opponent, I really like Avanesyan as a greater opponent,” stated Ennis. “He’ll put up a greater combat which might be what I need. July 13, don’t miss this stunning, excellent efficiency!”
