This is the roaring 2020’s, nevertheless, an period the place an enormous mouth is usually extra profitable than massive expertise, which might be at the very least a part of the rationale why Ennis has but to throw down with one of many welterweight division’s massive names.
“I want to fight all these guys and they know that,” stated the Philadelphia native. “I feel like they try to go around me. They can’t do that for too long, though.” Although most followers would little question like to see Ennis sq. off towards the likes of Errol Spence or Terence Crawford, these two fighters, who sit atop of the welterweight division, have but to even battle one another.

I’m only biting.” And the unbelievable ability units fighters like Spence and Crawford possess? “I feel like the better the competition is, the better I’m going to be,” stated Ennis.
As for his subsequent opponent, Ennis is assured. “I’m not too worried at all, but I know he’s probably a good fighter,” he stated of Chukhadzhian. Ennis was then requested how he would take care of Chukhadzhian’s jap European model of combating. “Pressure,” he responded. “Moving your head. Keeping you (your opponent) off balance.” As a sign of how significantly he takes each battle, Ennis made it clear that he hasn’t precisely been holding his fingers on the heartbeat so far as the most recent fights go.
