Jaron Ennis

Acting

Born: June 26, 1997

Birthplace: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA

The 25-year-old Jaron “Boots” Ennis is one of the most talented and feared fighters in all of boxing. The latest in the pantheon of outstanding Philadelphia fighters, Ennis combines sublime boxing skills with natural power in both hands. A graduate of the prospect development series SHOBOX: The New Generation, Ennis became the first fighter to stop former world champion Sergey Lipinets in April 2021. He followed up that performance with an impressive first-round stoppage of veteran contender Thomas Dulorme in October 2021 and a second-round KO of then-unbeaten Custio Clayton in May 2022. That KO gave Ennis 19 KOs in his last 20 fights, with the only blemish being a no-decision after Chris van Heerden suffered a cut in the first round of their December 2020 match from a clash of heads. Ennis is trained by his father Bozy, and is the younger brother of retired pro boxers Derek and Farah Ennis. [Showtime]
