JARON ENNIS faces David Avanesyan in his next fight as he puts his IBF welterweight title on the line.
Originally scheduled to face mandatory challenger Cody Crowley, who had to withdraw due to injury, Ennis takes on an entirely different challenge in Avanesyan.
Known for his pressure style in the ring, Avanesyan should pose something of a threat, but his best days are also behind him.
O Russo was knocked out by Terence Crawford when he fought for the welterweight title before.
Ennis has been touted as one of the sport’s top prospects and a future pound-for-pound star.
A win here could propel him into bigger fights with the likes of Crawford, Errol Spence Jr. and Vergil Ortiz Jr at super welterweight.
