Rising Jr. Middleweight Derek “Pooh” Ennis will take on the tough and durable John Mackey in a six round bout as one of the main undercard bouts on July 10th at The Arena in Philadelphia.

The contest will be a part of a huge night of boxing that will feature two title fights and will be broadcasted across the country on ESPN 2.

The card is promoted by Blaine Garner’s Shalyte Entertainment in association with Jimmy Burchfield’s CES Boxing.

Ennis, of Philadelphia, boasts a record of 17-2-1 with twelve knockouts, and is on a roll as he has racked up five consecutive victories with three coming by knockout.

He is looking to get back in the ring after a couple of unforeseen circumstances have cancelled his last two bouts.

Ennis was scheduled to fight Joshua Onyango this past Friday night in Sailsbury, Maryland when Onyango was in an automobile accident on his way to the weigh-in.

Ennis successfully made the 154 pound limit and is in great shape and ready to ride the momentum of the win streak.

Mackey, of Montgomery, Alabama has been in tough and has come through very nicely as he has a record of 11-3-2 with five knockouts.

Mackey won his first nine bouts which included victories over Timmy Leonard (3-0-1), Tony Cygan (12-1), and Alex Mancea (7-1). In his most recent fights, Mackey has suffered a few losses but most of them have been disputed.

Take, for instance, his last two bouts. He dropped an eight round split decision to Cecil McCalla (6-0) and drew with Jesse Nicklow (19-1-1) in front of a pro-Nicklow crowd. Ringside observers thought that Mackey could have won both fights.

The Nicklow took place this past June 18th.

In the main event on July 10th, Matt Godfrey will defend his NABF Cruiserweight title against Shawn Hawk while Shaun George and Chris Henry will engage in a ten round Light Heavyweight tussle.

Tony Ferrante of Northeast Philadelphia risks his undefeated record against Billy Bailey for the WBF All-Americas Light Heavyweight title.

Those are just four of the eleven bout card which will include Coy Evans, Olivia Fonseca, Jackie Davis and undefeated Super Featherweight Issac Suarez.

Tickets for this exciting night of boxing cost $45 for advanced; $60 for Ringside; $65 for VIP and can be purchased by Calling The Arena at 267-687-7560; Shalyte Promotions at 215-287-7949 or Le Crown Barbershop at 215-927-5027.
