WILL JARON ‘BOOTS’ ENNIS FACE A TOUGH REMATCH OR UNIFY TITLES NEXT?
JARON ‘BOOTS’ ENNIS is facing a crucial decision in his boxing career as a SEPTEMBER 3RD PURSE BID HEARING looms over a potential rematch with KAREN CHUKHADZHIAN. The IBF has scheduled this hearing to determine the future of Ennis' mandatory title defense, which could force him into a rematch with the Ukrainian contender. Meanwhile, Ennis is actively negotiating a unification bout with BRIAN NORMAN JR., a fight that has captured the attention of boxing fans and would further cement his status in the welterweight division.
Ennis, with an unbeaten record of 31-0 (28 KOs), is considered one of the top welterweights in the world. His first fight with CHUKHADZHIAN ended in a decisive twelve-round victory, with Ennis winning every round on all three scorecards. However, the possibility of a rematch could derail his plans for a unification bout, especially if the purse bid pushes the fight forward.
CHUKHADZHIAN, who has rebuilt his career after his loss to ENNIS, is now back in the top spot of the IBF rankings. His recent win over HARRY SCARFF in a title eliminator has earned him another shot at Ennis. Despite this, the boxing community is more interested in seeing Ennis face off against NORMAN, who is also undefeated and holds the WBO welterweight title.
Negotiations between Ennis and Norman's camps are ongoing, with both sides eager to make the unification bout a reality. However, they must reach an agreement before the purse bid date to avoid the mandatory rematch with Chukhadzhian. If the deal doesn’t happen, Ennis may find himself back in the ring with a familiar foe instead of moving forward with a higher-profile fight.
As the deadline approaches, all eyes are on SEPTEMBER 3RD to see if Ennis will secure the unification bout he desires or be forced into a rematch that could stall his rise in the division.
