David Avanesyan, known for his resilience, is gearing up to battle IBF welterweight champion Jaron Ennis at Philadelphia’s Wells Fargo Arena this Saturday. Despite being ranked sixth by The Ring in the welterweight division, Avanesyan is unfazed by fighting in Ennis’s home turf and is gearing up for his second shot at a world title.
Originally slated to face Cody Crowley, who was sidelined due to a failed eye exam, Avanesyan stepped up with just five weeks of preparation. Despite being a considerable underdog with 9/1 odds, Avanesyan is committed to giving his all in the ring and making the most of this opportunity.
At 35, the Russian fighter understands the magnitude of the challenge before him and is determined to taste victory. He views Ennis as one of the top boxers and is excited to assess his own abilities against the formidable opponent. Drawing from past experiences against Crawford, Avanesyan believes he can exploit Ennis’s vulnerabilities despite his lack of recent activity.
Conversely, Ennis is focused on displaying his skills and preserving his undefeated status. Known for his blend of power and speed, Ennis has been a force in his recent fights and plans to impress his home crowd with a stellar performance.
The much-anticipated Ennis-Avanesyan showdown, along with other undercard matches, will be aired on DAZN, promising viewers an electrifying clash between these two talented fighters.
