The event will be co-headlined by a championship fight between Jesse Rodriguez and Pedro Guevera.
Promotion company Matchroom Boxing officially announced the big night of boxing on November 9th Philadelphia (USA).
Its central events will be two championship fights: the American Jaron Ennis (32-0, 29 KO) will defend his IBF welterweight title against Ukrainian Karen Chukhadzhyan (24-2, 13 KO), and Jessie Rodriguez (20-0, 13 KOs) will defend the WBC and Ring Magazine super lightweight titles against Pedro Guevera (42-4-1, 22 KOs).
The event will be held at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, Ennis’ hometown. It was previously reported that the American boxer was considering giving up the IBF title and moving up a division. However, Jaron later rejected this idea and agreed to fight Chukhadzhyan.
According to a 65%/35% payday split, Ennis is set to earn $1.3 million for the fight, while $700,000 will go to his Ukrainian opponent.
Chukhadzhyan has already met Ennis. It was also in the USA, in January 2023. The American confidently won on points, all judges gave each of the rounds to Jaron (three times 120:108).
In his last fight, Karen defeated Briton Harry Scarff in May 2024. All three judges recorded the Ukrainian’s advantage (three times 116:112).
Ennis defended his IBF title against Armenia’s David Avanesyan in July. After a knockdown, Avanesyan’s corner decided to pull the fight between the fifth and sixth rounds.
