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 Nu jaar oud. Dit is het. 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.

Philadelphia (Mei 27,2015)Deze vrijdag nacht bij de Stadium Holiday

Inn in Philadelphia, King’s Promotions presents a great night of championship boxing that will headlined by 10-round UBF Lightweight championship bout between Frankie De Alba (15-1-2, 5 KO's) en Bernardo Gomez Uribe (14-3, 10 KO's).
In one of the 8-round co-features, Steve Upsher Chambers (24-4-1, 6 KO's) returns to the city where he cut his teeth as a professional to take on Alejandro Rodriguez (24-16-1, 14 KO's) in een Jr. Weltergewicht bout.
Chambers, who came originally to Philadelphia with former Heavyweight title challenger, “Snel” Eddie Chambers, fought 23 times and the famed Blue Horizon in Philadelphia and will be making his first start in the City of Brotherly Love in almost 6 jaar.
I have been training hard and working on opening my new gym with (lichtgewicht mededinger) Rod Salka,” said Upsher.
I am on weight already and I feel good. We will be fighting at 142 pond.”
Upsher is ready to show the fans how far his abilities have grown since he turned pro in Philadelphia in 2003 toen hij was gewoon 18 jaar oud.
I am happy to be coming back to Philadelphia. I want to show people how far I have come and see the improvement that I have made as a fighter.
Despite losing his three bouts to the likes of former world champions Luis Collazo and Andre Berto as well as then-undefeated prospect Eddie Gomez, Upsher was competitive in all those bouts and grew tremendously from those experiences.
It showed that I can compete against that level of fighter. Plus everyone of those guys was bigger than me. Ik ben een natuurlijke 140 pounder and can make 135 if the right opportunity presented itself.
Chambers went back to his native Pittsburgh to train in neighboring city Coal Center, PA.
My mind is set on winning a world title at 140 pond. After the three losses, I cant afford any missteps. People see about the losses. I know I have the ability to be a world champion and on Mei 29 that will start to show.
On the veteran opponent, Rodriguez, Upsher said, “I know he is tough and from Mexico. I will look at a little film before the fight and go from there. I really don’t worry about what he will do. He should worry about me. This fight is redemption for me. It’s a start and then I would like to right all of the losses. But first I am looking for a dominant performance op vrijdag then I want to end all doubts.
An outstanding undercard has been assembled.

Danbury, CT (April 16, 2015)- At the beginning of April, newly licensed Connecticut boxing promoter A.J. Galante introduced his company, Prijspromoties. Galante spoke of his goal of bringingOld Schoolboxing to Connecticut.

Rogers.

Russell is the definition of Old School matchmaking, he’s one of the last out there, so it was a no brainer for me to reach out to him, and I am honored that he is willing to work with me.” Galante verklaard, “His resume speaks for itself, I am extremely confident that working together, we will put on spectacular showsGalante was also extremely excited to work with BrittanyBAM” Rogers, who works in conjunction with Russell Peltz,

I’m often referred to as one of the youngest boxing people on the business side of things, but BAM is actually younger than me, and has been in the sport longer than me. I have a lot of respect for her and have been learning a lot through working with her.

Ultimately Galante said what cemented his choice on his matchmakers, was a trip to Philladelphia in October, to attend a show promoted by both Peltz and Rogers, “When you think Philly boxing, you think gritty and exciting, and you can’t think Philadelphia boxing without Russell Peltz and Brittany Rogers, and I am looking forward to bringing those types of shows and that environment here to Connecticut.It won’t be long for Galante to fulfill his promise, as his first show Danbury Fight Night, zal plaatsvinden opMei 30 bij de Danbury Arena, in his hometown of Danbury, CT.
