Word is, it’s official: “Bozy” Ennis is to train Andy Cruz for his first professional fight. Could be a good match, as Cruz’s style needs to be brought up to pro standards quickly. “Bozy” is welterweight contender Jarod Ennis’s (30-0) father and trainer.
He trained three sons: Jarod, Farrah and Derek âPoohâ Ennis. The last two had decent but unremarkable careers. I donât know if Bozy has trained anyone else of note.
Isnt he 1 of Fultons coaches?
What happened to that guy Cotto and I think Rigo had, Cuban guy named Diaz I believe? That guy looks legit why don’t I see more people with him. Especially the Cubanos.
No source?
Stupid decision if true
Seems legit.

He’s training alongside Boots at the moment.

He feels like a guy who’s riding his son’s coattails.
Bad choice from Cruz IMO.
Normally, it isn't a promoter's responsibility to meddle with their fighter's training team. What is the connection between Hearn/Bozy when Boots isn't even a Matchroom fighter?
I don’t have the answer to any of this, but a new fighter like Cruz wouldn’t choose the trainer. I’m assuming Hearn chose Bozy. I could certainly be wrong about that.
Yes, BC. I don’t know how Hearn came up with Ennis, but that’s who he’s going with — for now, at least. I’m not a fan of Shields, BTW.

Me neither, but a least has some experience with Cubans, like Lara and Morrell. Definitely not the best choice, ennis. Let's see what happens.
Boxeo Cubano? It's a bad choice. We have Rubio, Reynoso, Salas, all Spanish speaking trainers that can communicate better, on less I'm missing something, like Cruz speaks English or ennis speaks Spanish. Even Shields is a better option than ennis.

A Cuban boxing source on Facebook put it up. I’ve always known them to be reliable.

Interesting choice. Has Bozy ever trained anyone besides his son?
He trained three sons: Jarod, Farrah and Derek “Pooh†Ennis. The last two had decent but unremarkable careers. I don’t know if Bozy has trained anyone else of note.
