Josh Kelly’s Risky Choice: Accepting Jaron Ennis WBO Eliminator For Zayas Title

Josh Kelly was shown a battle against No. 4 Jarun Innis in the WBO medium weighing title to determine the mandatory competitor of Zander Zaas, who is heading 154 pounds.
Idi Herne says he offered the battle to Josh Kelly. However, he did not seem optimistic that he would make the battle.
“We have offered the battle with Josh Kelly yesterday. We are talking. The problem is that Josh got a lot of money fighting Ismail Davis. It is difficult because he got a few Riyadh season money. This offer is a great offer, but after fighting the Riyadh season,” Herne said to IFL TV.
“I love the battle. It can be a final remover by WBO for Zander Zass, but we will see.”
Josh Kelly options
It is doubtful if Kelly, 31, will agree to take the risky battle, because it is in a good position to choose a world title against the WBO Zayas champion. The offer made of Ennis, Eddie Hearn, from Matchroom, should be great for Kelly’s temptation to put his 3th arrangement. If Olympic funds are offered for 2016, it is likely to take it.
Although Zaas discussed his desire for the battle of Tawheed against the WBC 154 Cypilian Cypant Fortura or IBF champion in Moraham Mortgaliev after seizing the vacant WBO title last Saturday night, it is believed to be sitting on his belt and milk, by taking profitable battles to earn money.
Josh Kelly will be a clear choice for Ezander to choose for his first defense. Top Rank promoted Zoujo led him to this extent in his six -year career by directing him away from the dangerous opposition and his conformity against the beaten fighters only. It is difficult to imagine that they are changing the reconciliation formula now after Xander acquired the title of WBO 154 pounds, unanimously defeating Jorge Garcia last Saturday.
Big money for Kelly
Ennis (34-0, 30 KOS) moves to 154 out of 147. It is not in a strong position to get a discount for the first time in the section in October or November. Herne wants to enter it in a position to fight for a world title as quickly as possible. To do this, Eddie will need to search deeply and reach the money to attract Kelly. It cannot be tight with its shows.
Some fans believe that this is the reason that Boots could not get the unification battles in 147 to become the undisputed hero. Herne was similar to Scroge with his offers to other belt owners, causing their noses to increase and ignore it.
