Ennis Begins Boxing Career With A Bang

The Jamaican delivered an overhand-right that resulted in devastating knockout in the first round

Jerone ‘’Beast’’ Ennis began his professional boxing career with a dominant performance against Argentina’s Marcelo Fernandez. The Jamaican delivered a devastating knockout that arrived in the first round. Fernandez came in with a record of 4-3-1. The fight happened at the Pickering Casino Resort.
The light heavyweight boxer conducted his training camp in HIIT Box, Kingston. Eventually, he flew to Toronto where he was involved in media obligations.
This fight allowed Ennis to showcase his footwork, ring intelligence and poise. However, this wasn’t surprising because he is a two-time Caribbean Amateur Champion.
According to Ryan ‘’RG’’ Grant, the Jamaican’s chief cornerman, this was one of Ennis’ best performance of his career. He described him as a promising talent who will shine a light on the Jamaican boxing scene. He was impressed by Ennis’ ability to find good shots, he described as a fighter with “good eyes and good defence.”
Ennis’ ring generalship and superior technique and ring generalship allowed him to land a thunderous overhand-right on his opponent. It was this punch that sent Fernandez crashing to the canvas.
Fernandez got back to his feet after beating the referee’s 10 count. However, he was forced to absorb numerous punches that were being thrown by the relentless Ennis. Ennis kept on switching stances while still throwing lead left hooks and overhand-rights. The referee was forced to stop the fight at the 1:51 mark. The bout was declared as a first round TKO victory.
This win means that Ennis is the first boxer to finish Fernandez via knockout or technical knockout.
Tyler Buxton, the president of the United Boxing Promotions, said that he was satisfied with Ennis’s performance.
Ennis has now emerged as one of Jamaica’s hottest prospects in the sport. He has a bright future if he can continue improving in his craft.
Grant promised to keep Ennis ”as active as possible” as long as they don’t experience any glitches.
At the age of 24, Ennis hails from Denham Town in Kingston. He was a proud representative of Jamaica at the 2022 Commonwealth Games where he advanced to the quarter-final stage. This tournament happened in Birmingham, England. With his addition, he now joins the ranks of United’s roster as the fifth Jamaican fighter. The others include Joshua ‘HellRazor’ Frazer, middleweight Kemahl ‘The Hitman’ Russell, super middleweight Shakeel ‘The Jamaican Juggernaut’ Phinn and undefeated heavyweight Ricardo ‘Big 12’ Brown.
