Jaron 'Boots' Ennis and Josh Kelly set for three-belt unification in Atlanta
Unbeaten Jaron Ennis puts his WBA and WBO titles on the line against IBF champion Josh Kelly on Feb. 27. The winner moves one step from undisputed.

Jaron "Boots" Ennis has his next big fight.
The unbeaten Philadelphia star will face England's Josh Kelly in a junior middleweight unification bout on Feb. 27 at State Farm Arena in Atlanta. The fight was made official on Wednesday.
Ennis will put his WBA and WBO titles at 154 pounds on the line. Kelly will defend his IBF belt.
Two champions
Ennis is 36-0 with 32 knockouts and is ranked among the best fighters in the world pound for pound. He became a two-division champion this year with a seventh-round stoppage of Xander Zayas in Brooklyn. He also held titles at welterweight.
Kelly is 19-1-1 with nine knockouts. The Sunderland native won his title against Bakhram Murtazaliev in January and defended it against Caoimhin Agyarko in July. He then called out Ennis.
Kelly's only loss came five years ago to David Avanesyan. Ennis has beaten Avanesyan.
'The Road to Undisputed'
Promoter Eddie Hearn is billing the fight as "The Road to Undisputed." The winner could next face WBC champion Sebastian Fundora for all four belts.
"What a fantastic unification fight this is," Hearn said. "Boots and Josh are both brilliant World champions and this was not a difficult fight to make when you lay out what is there for the winner."
It will be the promotion's first event in Atlanta.
