Filadélfia (Maio 29,2015)—Hoje à noite no Stadium HolidayInn na Filadélfia, King’s Promotions presents a great night of boxing that will headlined by 10-round Jr. Lightweight bout between Frankie De Alba (15-1-2, 5 KO) e Bernardo Gomez Uribe (14-3, 10 KO).
In a six-round Super Middleweight bout Farah Ennis (21-2, 12 KO) will make his return to the ring after a 22 month hiatus when he takes on Michael Gbenga (20-19, 20 KO)
Ennis, who was last seen dropping a 10-round unanimous decision to new WBC Super Middleweight champion Badou Jack, is looking to get back into contention with a big outing over the veteran from Ghana.
“O treinamento tem sido boa. I only know that Gbenga is from Ghana,” said Ennis.
After what Ennis admitted was a lackluster performance against Jack, he needed some time away from the sport in order to get himself back on track.
“I took the time off to get my mind together. In that fight I didn’t let my hands go. I was thinking too much and I know I could have beat him. It just wasn’t my night.”
Ennis also took the time off to get into some training camps and improve on his own game.
“I was in camp with David Lemieux for when he fought Gabriel Rosado. It was during that time I got my head back and now is where I need to be. I need to go out and listen to my dad (Trainer Bozy Ennis). I am in 32 anos de idade agora. É isso. It is either all or nothing.”
“I just hope everyone comes out and supports as I am looking to put on a show and start the next phase of my career.”
Ennis weighed 167 em libras Quinta-feira pesar-se. Gbenga checked in at 169.
