Jaron Ennis has been tipped as boxing’s next great one. Now it’s time to prove it

Jaron Ennis , the amply gifted welterweight from Philly known as Boots , is unbeaten over 33 professional fights with 29 wins inside the distance.

The 27-year-old blends elite athleticism, switch-hitting creativity and knockout power with a high ring IQ and rare adaptability.

Ennis has delivered a series of highlight-reel victories, racking up knockouts and breathless hype among the sport’s chattering class.

But recent performances particularly a decision win over Karen Chukhadzhian have been met with muted praise.

Pooh Ennis is the IBF , WBA , WBO and IBF world champion.

Jaron Boots takes on Jaron Stanionis at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City on Saturday .

A win puts Ennis at 34 -0 and sets up unification bouts with WBC champion Mario Barrios or WBO champion Brian Norman Jr ..

Boxing rewards performance under fire under fire.

Whether Ennis can cope will say everything about the ceiling he’s long been told he has and the floors his family built for him to stand on.

“I’m not looking for the knockout,” Ennis said. “But it's going to come.” Bozy believes the same and more.
