Avanesyan steps in to face Jaron Ennis on July 13

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 on account of persistent eye damage. Avanesyan, a former European champion, inflicted Josh Kelly’s first skilled loss in 2021. The Newark-based upsetter beforehand snapped the 27-0 file of Spanish banger Kerman Lejarraga, so Ennis will should be on his guard.

Boxing as a headliner within the Wells Fargo Middle, ‘Boots’ (31-0, 28 KOs) is making the primary defence of his just lately upgraded IBF title. Former champion Terence Crawford defeated Avanesyan in six rounds on the tail finish of 2022, so this will probably be an honest measuring stick between the pair.

“Now that Crowley is formally not my opponent, I really like Avanesyan as a greater opponent,” mentioned Ennis. “He’ll put up a greater struggle which will probably be what I need. July 13, don’t miss this stunning, excellent efficiency!”
