Eddie Hearn Is Thrilled As Jaron 'Boots' Ennis Comes Home In Pre-Selling Bout

Promoter Eddie Hearn is delighted with the 4,000 tickets left for IBF welterweight champion Jaron 'Boots' Ennis' title defense against Cody Crowley on July 13 at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia.

As Hearn points out, general ticket sales begin today at the center, and it looks promising to be a sell-out for the undefeated Boots vs. Crowley (22-0, 9 KOs).

The interesting part about this is that Bots is not even fighting a well-known fighter, yet the tickets are going well.

Hearn's view of Ennis

Hearn recently signed undefeated Boot Ennis (31-0, 28 KOs) to his Matchroom Boxing stable, and plans to make the 147-lb division the undisputed champion before moving up to 154 to go after Terence Crawford if he's there. still.

Ideally, it won't take long for Boot Ennis to pick up the three titles he needs at 147 to become the undisputed champion. However, if it seems that Ennis is prevented from fighting with other champions, he will have to give up hope and go to 154 because there will be no point in staying at 147 for years and waiting for the opportunity to fight for other belts. .

Staying Busy, Staying Relevant

Ennis has not fought since last July when he defeated Roman Villa. It's disappointing that he lost a year of his career by not fighting, but Hearn plans to keep Ennis as busy as possible to turn him into a star.

It's important that Ennis not only stays busy, but fights the right opposition that will make him a star. When Hearn promoted Demetrius Andrade, he matched him against a couple of young British guys and a Polish fighter, and his popularity didn't grow, even though he looked good winning fights.

Hearn needs to realize the importance of matching Boot Ennis with US based fighters instead of repeatedly matching him with UK fighters like he did with Andrade.
