On Saturday, the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia will host the WBA title eliminator between Jaron Ennis and Uisma Lima.
This bout is pivotal for Ennis, who recently vacated his welterweight titles and moved up to the junior middleweight (154-pound) division.
His decision to move up came after a dominant run at 147 pounds, which culminated in a unification victory over Eimantas Stanionis back in April.
Ennis’ team believes that the change was necessary and that he could no longer reach his optimal performance weight at 147 pounds.
At the onset, Ennis is a massive betting favorite. Ennis is one of the most popular brands in boxing. Thus, betting interest is high for this matchup.
