A doubleheader between Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis and Karen Chukhadzhian and Jesse ‘Bam’ Rodriguez and Pedro Guevara is being mentioned for November ninth in Philadelphia.
Boots’ Ennis’ promoter, Eddie Hearn, needs to carry him again to Philadelphia for his subsequent battle in November, and he’s speaking with Karen’s workforce about making it for that metropolis. Karen’s promoters received the purse bid to regulate the place to stage the battle, however Hearn may overpay to persuade him to battle in Ennis’ hometown in Philadelphia.
WBC tremendous Flyweight champion ‘Bam’ Rodriguez (20-0, 13 KOs) might be defending towards WBC interim champ Guevara (42-4-1, 22 KOs). That’s clearly not the perfect location for the Texas native Bam to defend his WBC 115-lb title, but when he’s paid effectively by promoter Eddie Hearn, it will likely be value preventing in Philadelphia.
“Bam will battle within the U.S. subsequent. We’re planning a very massive present for November within the US. It might be on the East Coast,” mentioned Hearn to iFL TV. “We need to proceed the success that we’ve had (with Boots) in Philadelphia. We’re talking to Karen’s workforce; we’ll see what’s subsequent.”
If Boots goes to defend his IBF title in a rematch towards Karen Chukhadzhian on November ninth, he’ll want a powerful co-feature to get followers thinking about watching on DAZN. Ennis beat Karen by a one-sided 12-round unanimous resolution final January, successful by the large scores of 120-108 x 3.
Hearn had hoped to swerve Boots Ennis’ IBF-ordered necessary protection towards Karen by preventing a unification towards WBO welterweight champion Brian Norman Jr. Nonetheless, Hearn selected to not meet the $2.2 million asking worth for Norman Jr. to battle Ennis in Philadelphia.
Norman Sr, Brian Jr’s father, mentioned they’d be keen to just accept Hearn’s $1.7 million supply if the battle had been to be held in a impartial venue in Las Vegas. Hearn didn’t conform to that deal. So, Boots is now caught defending towards Karen in a battle that few followers need to see.
