Jaron Ennis stepped on the scale Friday a little heavier than Uisma Lima for the former welterweight champion’s junior middleweight debut.
Ennis (34-0, 30 KOs, 1 NC) officially weighed 153.4 pounds for their 12-round main event Saturday night at Xfinity Mobile Arena in Philadelphia, Ennis’ hometown. Portugal’s Lima (14-1, 10 KOs) came in at 153 pounds. The division limit is 154.
They’ll fight for the WBA interim super welterweight title in the headliner of an eight-fight card. DAZN will stream Ennis-Lima and three undercard bouts (see below).
DraftKings lists Ennis as a 30-1 favorite to beat Lima.
Ennis, 28, will make his debut as a full-fledged junior middleweight. He vacated his Ring, IBF and WBA welterweight titles following his last fight, a six-round destruction of former WBA champ Eimantas Stanionis (16-1, 9 KOs, 1 NC) on April 12 at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, New Jersey.
Lima, 32, has won four straight bouts, all in the countries where his opponents reside. That winning streak began following a 10-round, unanimous-decision defeat against Irish middleweight contender Aaron McKenna (20-0, 10 KOs) in June 2023 at York Hall in London.
The official weights for the seven fights on the undercard are listed below.
