Showtime Boxing: Jaron Ennis vs. Sergey Lipinets preview - Why ‘Boots’ is one of boxing’s rising stars

Showtime will be home to a tripleheader on Saturday featuring top prospect Jaron Ennis (26-0, 24 KOs) facing his biggest test in former titleholder Sergey Lipinets (16-1-1, 12 KOs). Former European amateur champion Eimantas Stanionis (12-0, 9 KOs) takes on Thomas Dulorme (25-4-1, 16 KOs) in the co-main, while Jerwin Ancajas (32-1-2, 22 KOs) defends his IBF super-flyweight belt against Jonathan Javier Rodriguez (22-1, 16 KOs).

Ennis came within a fight to represent the US at the 2016 Olympics but lost a box off to Gary Antuanne Russell at the Olympic trials. Ennis turned pro four months after the trials at just 19 years old and went 26-0 against an increasing level of competition.
