Jaron Ennis is ready for a homecoming to remember when the Philadelphia native defends the IBF welterweight title against David Avanesyan in the Wells Fargo Center.
A two-time Golden Gloves medalist, Ennis held the interim IBF title to start 2023. “Boots” was named full-time champion after Terence Crawford got stripped of the belt, just a few months after beating Errol Spence Jr. to become undisputed at welterweight. It is his third overall defense of the IBF title.
Avanesyan held interim WBA, NABF, and European welterweight gold and has fallen short twice at holding world title gold. The Russian-born fighter rebounded in December following a loss against Crawford for the WBO welterweight title.
Ranked thirteenth in the IBF’s rankings, Avanesyan replaced Cody Crowley, who had to undergo eye surgery. Ennis doesn’t seem to mind the change or what the odds say, as he believes Avanesyan is an improvement.

“Now that Crowley is officially not my opponent, I actually like Avanesyan as a better opponent,” said Ennis. “He will put up a better fight, which will be what I want. July 13, don’t miss this beautiful, outstanding performance!”
