Jaron Ennis is just waiting for the boxing world to acknowledge his talent, but unfortunately for him, America’s best fighters want him to remain a secret.
An extravagant uppercut was the beginning of the end for Juan Carlos Abreu, the latest opponent to crumple after receiving a perfectly placed blow from Ennis. At the age of 23, Philadelphia’s latest boxing prodigy, nicknamed ‘Boots’, has already made deep inroads into the welterweight division, the home of America’s hottest crop of fighters.
That 26th victory this month might as well have been a business card from Ennis, a clear indication of credentials, but interested parties may or may not want to take up his offer.
