The title may not have come the way he would have wanted. Nevertheless, Jaron Ennis is now the IBF welterweight champion. After the P4P king Terence Crawford failed to meet Ennis for a mandatory title defense, because of the Errol Spence Jr. rematch clause, Ennis was made the interim welterweight champion. With 31 wins, the Philly fighter still hopes to meet Bud inside the ring.

Now, Boots Ennis has been ordered to have his first mandatory title defense against Cody Crowley. Ennis fought last year in July against Roiman Villa and secured a knockout victory. Now as Ennis prepares for his next fight, he shared the training footage from camp leaving fans impressed.

Where is Bozy Ennis?

Boots shared his pad work and a few images of him in the gym. The post had the caption that read, “Even If we grew on trees they still wouldn’t root for us!” Ennis is represented by his father who is also his head trainer, Derek “Bozy” Ennis Sr. Bozy was uncharacteristically missing from his training clip.

The footage shows some insane speed and certifies Ennis as one of the best welterweights out there. However, Ennis has only competed ten times in the last four years, which makes many question his credibility. Earlier fans were quite angry at Boots for having petitioned the IBF which made the organization then strip Crawford of his hard-fought IBF title. However, now that fans are warming up to Boots, the comment section of the post witnessed some much-vaunted praise being showered at the welterweight champion. Let us see what everyone had to say.
