Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis and Josh Kelly launch press conference in LA on Friday 13th

Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis and Josh Kelly will come face-to-face for the first time at the launch press conference for their blockbuster Super-Welterweight unification fight this Friday at Dignity Health Sports Park in Los Angeles at 1pm PT – streamed live on Matchroom’s YouTube channel.

Ennis and Kelly will clash on Saturday February 27 at State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia, the latest headline bout of TNT Sports and DAZN’s “The Fight”, the new monthly live boxing series, and will be broadcast co-exclusively in the U.S. on TNT, truTV and DAZN.

Philadelphia star Ennis became a two-time, two-weight unified champion in June with a stunning stoppage win over Xander Zayas in Brooklyn, and he’ll put his WBO and WBA belts on the line against IBF champion Kelly, the Briton who won the title against 154 boogeyman Bakhram Murtazaliev in January in Newcastle and defended the crown against Caoimhin Agyarko in Saudi Arabia in July.
