Hoje
Matchroom Boxing head Eddie Hearn made a bold statement following Jaron “Boots” Ennis’ first-round victory over Uisma Lima, declaring that the American is now the highest-paid boxer in the sport.
– Per second, Boots is the highest paid fighter in the sport
– What? – Ennis replied in surprise.
– What? Many fighters make that kind of money for hours of fighting, Hearn answered.
Ennis (35-0, 31 KOs) stopped Lima (14-2, 10 KOs) in just 1 minute and 58 seconds of the first round. Detailed fight statistics from RTFight can be found at the link.
