Lipinets-Ennis in the works on Showtime

Former Russian IBF Light Welterweight World Champion Sergey Lipinets (16-1-1, 12 KOs) will face all-star US prospect Jaron Ennis (26-0, 24KOs) on a date to be determined by a Showtime event.

Lipinets, 31, fought last October in the IBF Interim Welterweight World Championship with American Castio Clayton and the fight ended in a draw in a TGB Promotions event and on Showtime broadcast.

Ennis is undefeated and is considered one of the new stars of world boxing.
