Jerron 'Boots' Ennis

I love watching you play.

I know Philly has a legendary boxing history, deeply rooted in grit, toughness.

What really got you into boxing, and what's some of your favorite boxers out of Philly?

What got me into boxing is, well...

My dad was a former professional boxer, and both my brothers, Derek Poole and Nassim Faraday, quite some.

Nassim was a former professional boxer.

One was at 168 and one was at 154.

And it was like a family thing, you know.

And I was able to watch my brothers, you know, come up on ESPN, show time.

So I've been around this boxing game forever.

So there's, like, nothing new to me.

So, you know, I've been here before.

Like your first love, I'm saying you started boxing when how old?

By how old were you?

They got a video of me in the jumper just hitting a bag.

Like, I couldn't even walk and all that stuff.

But when you hear Xander say, you've never faced a fighter like him,

He said, yeah, you're a great fighter.

He don't want to take anything away from you, but you never faced anybody like him with the skill that he possessed, the power that he possessed.

And he said, like, you're going to be in for it when you guys face.
