"Wow – What a signing!"
Eddie Hearn, the head of Matchroom Boxing, expressed his excitement after IBF welterweight champion Jaron "Boots" Ennis signed with their promotional outlet. Hearn stated, "I've watched this young man for many years, and I always believed he would become a pound-for-pound great, and I have no doubt he is already the greatest fighter in the division. To win the race to sign Jaron is a massive coup for Matchroom Boxing and DAZN."
With an impressive record of 31-0, Ennis is widely regarded as the future of the sport. Hearn emphasized, "Holding the IBF title in one of boxing's glamour divisions places Jaron front and center for some of the biggest fights out there in the sport, and we plan to deliver them for him."
Exciting times lie ahead for Jaron Ennis as he embarks on a new chapter in his boxing career. Ennis, a high-caliber fighter from Philadelphia, has recently signed a multi-fight contract with Matchroom, a move that could potentially catapult him into the realm of household names in the boxing world.
Ennis, who has expressed his desire to face top fighters like Terence Crawford and Errol Spence, understands the challenges of finding big names to fight when you're not yet a big name yourself. However, with Matchroom backing him, Ennis is optimistic about his future. Promoter Eddie Hearn believes that Ennis has all the tools to become a star in the sport and is committed to helping him achieve that status.
Reflecting on his partnership with Matchroom, Ennis stated, "I can't wait to continue making my mark and becoming undisputed world champion. I've been out of the ring for a year, and I cannot wait to get back in and do what I do best; entertain the fans and put on clinics. There are blockbuster fights on the horizon for me, and I am ready to deliver them."
For Ennis, this partnership not only means access to better fights and opportunities but also the chance to showcase his skills on a larger stage. Fans of the sport can look forward to seeing Ennis in action once again, as he aims to climb the ranks and solidify his spot among the pound-for-pound elite.
Indeed, the collaboration between Ennis and Matchroom is a win-win situation for both parties. Ennis gets the support and platform he needs to reach his full potential, while fans get to witness a rising star in the boxing world take on new challenges and adversaries.
