Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis says he will make up for the mistakes he made in last year’s fight against Karen Chukhadzhian when he faces her in a rematch in 25 days on November 9 at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia.
Fans criticized Boot Ennis for not being able to cross the ring and seeming one-sided in his fight last year against Chukhadzhian on January 7, 2023, in Washington, DC, Jaron was swinging, absent, and fighting Chukhadzhian throughout the fight. .
Although Ennis won the bout with a 12-round unanimous decision, he showed a weakness in his game with his inability to adapt. Ennis (32-0, 29 KOs) will defend his IBF welterweight title against Chukhadzhian (24-2, 13 KOs) in a 12-round rematch live on DAZN.
Ennis blamed himself for his lackluster effort, saying he was too focused on scoring the knockout and not enjoying himself. Ennis must look good in the rematch to increase his popularity. His decision-making puts him in a difficult position to become a star.
Promoter Eddie Hearn of Matchroom recently signed Boot, believing he could turn him into a world star, but it doesn’t look promising. Ennis’ decision to stay at welterweight, a weak and empty division, it will trap him in years of low level battles that will not attract the attention of the larger public. If Ennis had been ambitious, he could have gone up to 154 and become a star overnight.
“I am ready to make a statement. It’s going to be another fight to come,” Jaron Ennis told YSM Sports Media, talking about his fight with Karen Chukhadzhian on November 9. “The card is packed. It’s the second homecoming, and this is going to be even better. “
Boots didn’t look good in his last fight against David Avanesyan on July 13th in Philadelphia, and he took the hardest shot in that contest. That was Ennis’ first fight under the management of Eddie Hearn, and he did not impress.
Ennis scored a sixth-round knockout against 35-year-old Avanesyan, but his performance paled in comparison to the brilliant victory Terence Crawford scored against in that fight on December 10, 2022.
“None of that bothers me,” Boots said of the idea that Karen exposed him last year. “That was me in my head. My whole idea was to get him out and not have fun. Once I’m happy and doing for me, that’s when the knockouts come. That’s what I’m going to do this time.”
It would be better for Ennis to keep quiet about what he will do against Chukhadzhian because there will be less tension afterwards if he struggles again. This guy isn’t fair to Ennis about the fight he’s in, and he should blame Hearn for not coming up with the money to set up a fight to unify WBO welterweight champion Brian Norman Jr. Ennis may fight Norman Jr. . next if Hearn had increased his $1.7 million contribution to Norman Sr.’s $2.2 million.
“I’m going to do the show, look good, not look at the bottom line,” said Ennis. “I’m happy that I went a long way with him. I shut up all the haters who say I can’t. I went 12 laps easily. I wasn’t breathing hard. I could have gone 15 more.
“In every fight they go to something when they try to say this or that. I really don’t care. I’ll go in there and do it for me. I’m going to put on a show and have fun,” said Ennis.
