Jaron Ennis compares himself to boxing legend ahead of Karen Chukhadzhian fightDAZN

Jaron 'Boots' Ennis hopes to continue his rampage through the welterweight division on Saturday night when he takes on Karen Chukhadzhian on the undercard of Gervonta 'Tank' Davis vs. Hector Luis Garcia. 

Ennis has made himself one of boxing's most exciting talents since turning professional 2016, amassing a 29-0 record with 27 of those wins coming by way of knockout. 

Ennis will be looking to make it 28 knockout wins when he faces Chukhadzhian this weekend and when speaking in the final pre-fight press conference, the 25-year-old American revealed that he has been using elements of a heavyweight boxing legend's style to benefit his own. 

"I’m on my ‘Iron’ Mike Tyson. I don’t go in there looking for the knockout, but if I see that opening, I’m definitely taking it. I’m not afraid to get him out early. Everyone knows I’m in and out like a robbery," Ennis claimed.

“I’m putting my own twist on Tyson. I picked up a few things from watching Tyson, so this is gonna be a fun night. I’m going to be explosive with it.

“My message to the world is just continue to watch me grow and progress and make sure you don’t miss this knockout on Saturday night."
