On November 9 in Philadelphia, there will be two significant boxing matches. Jaron “Boots” Ennis will defend his IBF welterweight title against mandatory challenger Karen Chukhadzhian, and Jesse “Bam” Rodriguez will defend his RING/WBC junior bantamweight titles against Pedro Guevara at the Wells Fargo Center. The event, organized by Matchroom Boxing, will be broadcast live on DAZN.
Ennis, with a record of 32-0, including 29 knockouts, will be fighting in front of his hometown fans for the second time. He made a successful title defense in his Matchroom debut in July and has committed to staying at 147 pounds to aim for the undisputed championship in the division, despite speculation of moving up to 154 pounds.
Rodriguez, with a record of 20-0 and 13 KOs, is making his return to the ring since his knockout victory over Juan Francisco Estrada. He will be up against interim WBC titleholder Pedro Guevara, who secured his shot with a split decision win over Andrew Moloney.
Both Ennis and Rodriguez are determined to entertain the Philadelphia crowd with their skills and showmanship. Ennis is thrilled to headline once again in his city, while Chukhadzhian is gearing up for a tough battle. Rodriguez is confident in retaining his titles, and Guevara is prepared to give his best for a victory on November 9.
