"Yeah, I've been doing that since the amateurs. I've been wrapping my hands since the amateurs. There's not a lot of people who do that. I've been doing that since the amateurs because I don't like how some people wrap my hands and they'd be like too tight. And I know how I like to feel in my hands being on fight night."
Unified champion Jaron Ennis reveals he has wrapped his own hands for his entire professional career, an extremely rare practice among elite boxers who typically rely on trainers. Ennis explains he prefers complete control over hand tension to avoid injury and has maintained this practice since his amateur days. The revelation highlights an unusual level of self-reliance and technical knowledge that distinguishes the undefeated champion from his peers.
