Philly ace back at Wells Fargo Center in first fight at 154lbs against IBO World ruler

Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis will start the journey to becoming a two-weight World champion with a final eliminator for the WBA World Super-Welterweight title against IBO champion Uisma Lima on Saturday October 11 at Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, live worldwide on DAZN.

TICKETS GO ON PRE-SALE AT 10AM ON THURSDAY AUGUST 14 AND ON GENERAL SALE AT 10AM ON FRIDAY AUGUST 15 AT TICKETMASTER.COM AND EVENTS365.COM

Ennis (34-0 30 KOs) recently made the decision to move up in weight following his stunning win over Eimantas Stanionis in a Welterweight unification clash in Atlantic City in April, forcing the WBA champion to quit on his stool after six punishing rounds of action.

‘Boots’, who penned a long-term multi-fight extension to his promotional deal with Eddie Hearn and Matchroom in July, begins his assault on the 154lb division in what will be his third headline turn at Wells Fargo in his beloved hometown since teaming up with Hearn, and does so against a dangerous foe.

Lima (14-1 10 KOs) landed the IBO title at Super-Welterweight in December against Sukhdeep Singh Bhatti in Canada, and defended the strap for the first time against Shervantaigh Koopman in South Africa in April, and the well-traveled Angolan enters the lion’s den once against against Ennis, in the 32 year old’s first bout in the United States.

QUOTES

JARON ENNIS
"They can say what they want it don’t make me a difference. These dudes can’t tie my shoes. I'm the best in the world and they know it! I want all the big names and belts - THE TOUR CONTINUES."

UISMA LIMA
“I am very excited to be taking on the biggest challenge of my life against a legit, World-level fighter in Ennis. I believe in myself, I want to thank my team for everything they have done and on October 11 we will be coming to war. Please don’t take me lightly, Boots, as I am coming to win.”

EDDIE HEARN
“I cannot wait to see Boots at 154lbs. Jaron was outstanding in what turned out to be his last fight at 147lbs, but after listening to his body, it’s time to start the journey to two-weight glory, and I cannot wait to see what sort of animal this man will be at his new weight.

“But October 11 is a real test. Uisma has consistently won fights on hostile territory, and the big-hitting African is coming to Philly to make a name for himself and take those big fights that are there for Boots next.”
