Ennis vs Avanesyan Prediction: The Challenger Accepted This Fight Recently
Jaron Ennis Preview
Jaron Ennis is a 27-year-old American from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and is considered to be one of the most promising boxers of our age. With a record of 31-0-0 (1 NC), he has an impressive knockout percentage – 28 wins ahead of schedule.
In recent years, Jaron defeated massive names like Sergey Lipinets, Custio Clayton, and and Thomas Dulorme. ‘Boots’ won the vacant IBF interim welterweight title against Karen Chukhadzhian in early 2023 and then defended it once in July 2023 against Roiman Villa.
More importantly, he was promoted to full champion after Terence Crawford was stripped of the title when he declined to defend against the mandatory challenger. So, this fight happens to be Ennis’ first official defense.
Ennis is a versatile fighter who can work both offensively and defensively. He adapts quickly to his opponent’s style, uses a variety of combinations, and has excellent range control. Ennis’ weaknesses are yet unclear given his dominant performances, but he will have to prove his skills against more experienced opponents in the future.
Before we give you our Ennis vs Avanesyan prediction, let’s estimate the Russian’s chances.
David Avanesyan Preview
David Avanesyan is a 35-year-old Russian boxer with a 30-4-1 record, who has long been an elite welterweight. He made his professional debut in 2009 and went on to win numerous regional and high-level titles before earning the WBA welterweight title in 2016.
He did lose it immediately, so his championship run was not impressive. His last significant bout was in 2022 when he fought for the WBO title against Terence Crawford. ‘Ava’ was knocked out in the sixth round and took a year off boxing. His last fight was in December 2023 when he trashed Serge Ambomo.
Avanesyan is known for his aggressive fighting style and brutal pace. He has 18 knockouts in 36 fights. However, his weakness has always been the defense. Against more technical fighters like Crawford, he has difficulty withstanding pressure and avoiding punches.
