Jaron Ennis vs Josh Kelly IBF WBO World Super Welterweight

Matchroom has made it official: Jaron “Boots” Ennis (36-0, 32 KOs) will defend his WBA and WBO titles against IBF champion Josh Kelly (19-1-1, 9 KOs) in the promoter’s first-ever event in Atlanta. U.S. viewers can watch on TNT, truTV, and DAZN, while DAZN will stream the fight worldwide outside the U.S.

Ennis won his two junior middleweight titles with a seventh-round stoppage of Xander Zayas at Barclays Center last June. The victory followed his welterweight unification win over Eimantas Stanionis the year before. Kelly, meanwhile, upset Bakhram Murtazaliev in Newcastle in January to claim the IBF belt, then defended it against Caoimhin Agyarko in July.

Kelly showed against Murtazaliev that he can frustrate a dangerous puncher, drawing out attacks, countering, and slowing the pace. Ennis presents a different challenge. He closes distance in an instant, shifts stance mid-combination, and fires again before an opponent can reset.
