COE AND HART CLASH ON BOOTS ENNIS CARD IN PHILADELPHIA

PhilBoxing.com





New Jersey vs. Philly as Light-Heavyweights collide on Oct 11 at Xfinity Mobile Arena, live on DAZN

Khalil Coe and Jesse Hart will clash as the co-main event at Xfinity Mobile Arena in Philadelphia on Saturday October 11, live worldwide on DAZN on a card topped by Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis’ debut at 154lbs where he meets Uisma Lima in a final eliminator for the WBA World Super-Welterweight title.

TICKETS ARE ON SALE NOW FROM TICKETMASTER.COM AND EVENTS365.COM
Coe (10-1-1 8 KOs) recorded the best win of his career in his last outing, righting a wrong in a rematch with Manuel Gallegos in May, stopping the Mexican in Guadalajara after Gallegos stunned Coe in the venue, he meets Hart in back in November. ‘Big Steppa’ reclaimed the USWBC title with that win, and now the 28 year old steps up once again to face the toughest test of his career to date.

Hart (31-3 25 KOs) welcomes Coe to his hometown where the 36 year old will be looking to add the rising New Jersey star to his impressive CV. ‘Hard Work’ has won three on the spin inside the distance since returning to the ring in August 2023, and the former two-time World Super-Middleweight title challenger can get back into the conversation for the big bouts at 175lbs by defeating Coe on his home patch.

Alexis Barriere will fight for his first pro title in Philadelphia, as he takes on Guido Vianello for the WBC Continental Americas Heavyweight title. Barriere (12-0 10 KOs) made it three wins in a row inside the distance in his last outing, forcing Ubaldo Resendiz to retire after six rounds in his Quebec backyard. The Canadian is eager to rise up the rankings in the ever-changing Heavyweight division, but Vianello (13-3-1 11 KOs) will have other ideas. The Las Vegas-based Italian will be eyeing a return to big-time bouts himself with the clash, having taking American talent Richard Torres Jr. the distance last time out, the 31 year old will want to prove he’s still got the goods to mix it at the top level.

Jose Roman will defend his WBA Continental North America Welterweight title against Tahmir Smalls. Roman (14-1 6 KOs) ripped the title from Jalil Hackett in Puerto Rico in December, and defends for the first time in Philadelphia, after a rematch with Hackett had to be pulled at the 11th hour after Hackett suffered an ankle injury in fight week in Orlando in March.

Smalls (15-0 11 KOs) fights for his first title in his first bout over ten rounds and does so on the undercard of his gym mate and now promotional stablemate, Ennis. The 26 year old featured on Boots’ last bill in Atlantic City in April, producing a first round stoppage win before making it three wins inside the distance on the trot in June on his Philly home soil.

Zaquin Moses (4-0 3 KOs) will kick-off the main card on DAZN over six rounds at Super-Featherweight against Antonio Dunton El Jr. (6-4-2 2 KOs), Giorgio Visioli (8-0 6 KO’s) will make his US debut on the card, taking on James Wilkins (13-3 6 KOs) over eight rounds at Super-Featherweight at the top of the prelim bouts, which also feature Lightweight Harley Mederos (8-0 7 KOs), Super-Bantamweight Dennis Thompson (7-0 5 KOs) and Lightweight Justin Palmieri (5-0 3 KOs) all in six round action.
