It is becoming more and more evident that the month of July is the month of the welterweight boxing division. With the excitement and blood rushing for the upcoming marquee fight between Terence Crawford and Errol Spence Jr., another necessary Welterweight bout will be on the canvas in just a few hours. Jaron Ennis is going to go head-to-head against Tenezuelan slugger Roiman Villa. The IBF Interim titlist last fought in January against Karen Chukhadzhian. But he has been unable to finalize a big fight since then, so he has now decided to go with an underdog. And this Saturday, both boxers will touch their gloves prior to the bell at The Ballroom at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, New Jersey.

Besides this, the secondary Welterweight title fight was also scheduled on the undercard of Ennis-Villa between WBA “regular” champion Eimantas Stanionis and undefeated Vergil Ortiz Jr. But Ortiz pulled out again for the second time this year due to some medical reasons. Nonetheless, Villa is ready to face his opponent this Saturday, as they are done with their Weigh-In. But still, he has his future plans all set for his position in the division.

Jaron Ennis gets candid about fighting the Spence-Crawford winner

Last week, Jaron Ennis hopped on for an interview with Morning Kombat, where he talked about his future prospects after this bout. Ennis said, “I want to fight both [Spence and Crawford] and I believe I will but most likely it will probably be at 154 [pounds] because those guys are older.”

The 26-year-old boxer wants to go against the winner and “fight for the undisputed.” Well, his plan is to indulge in three fights this year. The third option is to fight Keith Thurman. EEven two years ago, their bout couldn’t come to fruition. So if that isn’t possible again, he wishes to call out Yordenis Ugas next. But he refuses to sit still, as Ennis wants to stay active and keep on proving himself at every step.
