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 because 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 must 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 not too long ago upgraded IBF title. Former champion Terence Crawford defeated Avanesyan in six rounds on the tail finish of 2022, so this can be a good 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 combat which can be what I need. July 13, don’t miss this lovely, excellent efficiency!”
