Ennis vs. Serrano Headlines ShoBox: The New Generation Live On SHOWTIME? At 9:35 p.m. ET/PT From 2300 Arena In Philadelphia
WHAT: SHOWTIME Sports delivers a day in the life of training camp with Philadelphia?s Jaron Ennis as he prepares to face Raymond Serrano in the main event of ShoBox: The New Generation this Friday, November 16, live on SHOWTIME at 9:35 p.m. ET/PT from 2300 Arena in Philadelphia.
Ennis (21-0, 19 KOs), who knocked out Armando Alvarez via third-round stoppage in his ShoBox debut in July, has knocked out 11 consecutive opponents. He faces perhaps the toughest test of his career in Serrano, a 29-fight veteran whose five losses have come against opponents with a combined fight night record of 89-1-1.
Training under his father Bozy, who also trained Jaron?s older brothers Derek Jr. and Farah, the 21-year-old undefeated prospect puts in work in what he describes as an ?old-school? training camp consisting of chopping wood, flipping tires and climbing rope. With victory in his hometown on his mind this Friday, Ennis vows to become a household name in the sport of boxing.
?When you?re a boxer from Philly, it means you have to put on a show,? says Ennis. ?I love fighting at home, that?s the best feeling ever. People let the crowd get to them, I just feel at home. I feel comfortable and relaxed. I get to show out on SHOWTIME in Philly, get a win and look good doing it.
?My goal is to be world champ and be a great example for the kids. I want to unify, get all the belts, move up in weight and keep going, and keep going. Watch out all 147?s. A young animal is on the way!?
In the co-feature of Friday?s live ShoBox telecast, series veterans Kenneth Sims Jr. (13-1-1, 4 KOs) and Samuel Teah (14-2-1, 7 KOs) meet in an eight-round super lightweight bout. Undefeated Ukrainian Arnold Khegai opens the three-fight card when he takes on New Jersey?s Jorge Diaz (19-5-1, 10 KOs) in an eight-round super bantamweight bout.
