Jaron “Boots” Ennis and Uisma Lima are set to collide this Saturday night at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, in a WBA junior middleweight title eliminator headlining a Matchroom Boxing card. Ennis, the former two-belt welterweight champion, is moving up in weight — and, as a former titleholder, he’s earned the right to jump straight into a WBA eliminator. The 28-year old will be fighting in his hometown and has been a dominant fighter in recent years, coming off a brutal demolition of Eimantas Stanionis in a title unification bout last April. Ennis has scored knockouts in three of his last four outings and now enters a new division looking to continue his reign of destruction and earn a shot at the title currently held by Abass Baraou.

Lima, age 32, is from Angola. A rugged, determined contender, Lima has shown the grit and power in his career. He’s coming off a big knockout win over Shervantaigh Koopman in May and knows this is the biggest opportunity of his career — one that could launch him onto the world stage if he pulls off the upset. Promotional events for the card will continue throughout the week, with the official weigh-in scheduled for Friday. Ennis enters the bout undefeated at 34-0 (30 KOs), while Lima brings a record of 14-1 (10 KOs) into the biggest fight of his life.
