Ennis Warns Crowley During Fiery Presser – ‘It’s Going To Be Nasty’

“I am thrilled to be able to deliver a homecoming defense for Boots. Jaron is the next American star in boxing, and sports stars with all the tools he has should be headlining in their own city.  This is just the beginning for Jaron in Philadelphia, a town that absolutely loves their sport, and in Jaron they can boast that their hometown hero is the best in the business. July 13 is going to be a massive night; we can’t wait to come back to Philadelphia for the first of many epic nights with Boots,” Hearn 

The presser was very heated, with both sides exchanging verbals on social media. Ennis was ready to clean up the 147 division, with an eye on undisputed.

“I’m very excited to be fighting at the Wells Fargo Center. It’s the first big fight here and it’s a blessing. I’m glad I’m going to be able to put on a show, look good and retain my belt in a beautiful fashion, in a knockout fashion, in front of my friends, family and supporters.

“It took me five years to sign this man. We were in Las Vegas, it was [Saul] Canelo [Alvarez]-Danny Jacobs fight week, someone said we had a chance to get Boots Ennis. Now, there’s a lot of boxing people here. It’s no secret that everybody’s known for a very long time that this guy is the real deal.

“The most important thing for me was to bring him home to Philadelphia, and we made it happen. Because when you have a fighter as special as this, and you have a city as great as this, and people don’t understand the history of boxing in this city, ‘How has he never fought here?’ Well, now it’s time for that to change,” Hearn said 

That has now paid off, with the pre-sale tickets selling out.
