More than 13,000 fans are expected at the Wells Fargo Center on Saturday for Ennis' title defense against 35-year-old Avanesyan.This weekend is a homecoming for Philly boxer Jaron Ennis, and when the 27-year-old walks out to a crowd of more than 13,000 fans inside the Wells Fargo Center on Saturday night, he wants to put on a show for his city.
“The switch doesn’t really mean anything to me,” he said. “We do everything, we every type of an opponent, because you never know what the other guy is going to do. “It’s no secret of how good this kid is,” Hearn said. “I’ve watched him and knew if we could get him, it would be massive for our company. … One thing I’m big believer in is building people in their home cities — this is a great fighting city. We’ve got a captivating audience, all these incredible arenas around the city. The first thing that I wanted to do was bring him home.
“It feels good to put Philly on my back and put on a show,” Ennis said. “I’m just chilling, I feel good. I’m glad to be fighting at home. It’s going to be a beautiful show.”
