WAT: SHOWTIME Sports provides a glimpse into the life and training camp of Philadelphia’s Jaron Ennis as he prepares to face fellow undefeated welterweight prospect Armando Alvarez in the main event of ShoBox: Die nuwe generasie hierdie Vrydag, Julie 20, woon op Showtime by 10 namiddag. ET / PT from WinnaVegas Casino in Sloan, Iowa.
Ennis (20-0, 18 Uitklophoue), who has knocked out 10 consecutive opponents, maak sy ShoBox debut against the 28-year-old Alvarez (18-0, 12 Uitklophoue) in the 10-round main event of a three-fight telecast featuring six fighters with a combined record of 82-1.
Net 20 jaar oud, Ennis trains under the tutelage of his father Derek “Bozy” Ennis Sr., who also trained his other sons Derek Jr. and Farah. The 5-foot-10 former amateur standout will be the third Ennis brother to appear on ShoBox; Derek Jr. appeared on the series in 2007, and Farah faced Badou Jack on the series in 2013.
“Having my Dad as a trainer means everything,” said the youngest Ennis. "Hy is ' 63 years old and he puts in the same work I put in.
“My brothers always tell me to stay focused, it’s my turn now. I’m fighting for my family. I’m putting Philly on my back and I’m ready to show the world my talent.”
In die mede-funksie, undefeated lightweight Thomas Mattice (12-0, 10 Uitklophoue) returns to Iowa for his second ShoBox appearance of the year when he clashes with former Armenian amateur standout Zhora Hamazaryan (9-0, 6 Uitklophoue) in 'n 10-ronde bout.
