JARON ENNIS IS THE ONE TO WATCH IN PHILLY
Philadelphia, PA (March 14) – Twenty year old welterweight boxer Jaron “Boots” Ennis will honored as “The One to Watch” at the 11th Annual Briscoe Awards on March 25, 2018. Ennis, currently 18-0, 16 KOs, has been turning heads ever since he turned professional in 2016.
