'I'm down to fight!' - Kelly won't shy from 'Boots' unification
Joshua vs. Prenga: Only on DAZN PPV - Saturday
Josh Kelly would be keen to contest a unification bout with Jaron 'Boots' Ennis - providing he beats Caoimhin Agyarko next.
The IBF light-middleweight champion mounts his first title defence this weekend on the Anthony Joshua-Kristian Prenga bill.
Previously linked to a bout with Ennis before the latter's win over Xander Zayas, the two could yet be on a collision course.
If that proves to be the case though, Kelly would be happy to tackle the American head on as he seeks to build his reputation.

"If I get this win [on Saturday], then I'm down to fight," he told Inside the Ring on a possible fight. "I've got great respect for him.
"They already know how I box, how and who I am, so I'd love that. I've got the utmost respect for [him] but this is a fight game.
"When it's me versus you, all the respect goes out of the window. I'm in there to do a job and do my job clinically."
Kelly and Ennis are not the only men seeking further success in the division, with Sebastian Fundora and Vergil Ortiz also in the mix.
