Jaron Ennis is set to defend his IBF welterweight world title in this weekend's pugilistic proceedings.
David Avanesyan will step into the ring as the contender for his crown and it all goes down on Saturday night. Cody Crowley was initially slated to fight for the title but the Canadian combatant had to withdraw from the matchup as the result of an eye injury.
July 13 at 8 PM Eastern Time is when these fistic fireworks will transpire and this Ennis contest will mark the second attempt for Avanesyan at a world title. This comes after he fell short in a 2022 clash against Terence Crawford for the WBO welterweight strap.
Ennis will enter the ring with a spotless 31-0 professional boxing record with 28 finishes to his credit. Conversely, Avanesyan is a knockout artist in his own right and this looks like an exciting fight on paper. This is despite the Armenian pugilist entering the ring as a defined underdog against the reigning champion.
