Jaron Ennis is the latest in a long line of American champions with aspirations to one day headline a card in Britain.

In recent years, world champions like Shakur Stevenson and Teofimo Lopez have gone on record expressing their desire to box in the UK at some stage during their respective careers.

Fellow US stars Richardson Hitchins, Keyshawn Davis and Vergil Ortiz Jr have all echoed the same interest, acknowledging that selling out a UK arena or stadium would speak to their profile and appeal outside their native country.

Terence Crawford, Gennady Golovkin, Vasiliy Lomachenko and Gervonta Davis have all boxed on British shores.

During an interview with Ariel Helwani on Tuesday, Ennis (35-0, 31 KOs, 1 NC) had a post-fight meeting with Matchroom chief Eddie Hearn after his first-round finish of Uisma Lima earlier this month.

In said meeting, they were discussing future plans and the possibility of one day headlining a card in London was a topic of conversation.

"I haven't been there yet, hopefully I go over there ... actually my dad has Jack [Catterall] fighting, so I will be there," he said.

"I'll talk to Eddie, they're fighting at where [Tottenham]? I want to fight at Wembley, got to do that one time. I would love to fight in the UK, that's when I'll know I hit mega superstar [status]."

Catterall officially joined Ennis' father and head trainer Bozy last month after a period trialling coaches stateside earlier in the year, reportedly considering Ismael Salas and Brian 'Bomac' McIntyre as alternatives before settling on training in Philadelphia.

The 32-year-old, a former 140-pound title challenger, is among many ambitious Brits who have left home comforts to train abroad.

However, few are making sacrifices quite like him, having severed ties with a near decade-long coaching partnership in Jamie Moore and Nigel Travis and leaving wife Lauren at home with two children - one a newborn son.

When asked how the Bozy-Catterall partnership came about, Ennis didn't know much but said the signs are positive.

"One day I just walked in the gym and Jack was there," he added. "I knew who he was, he came five-to-six months prior, trained a couple times with us, liked what he saw with my dad and around us, wanted to switch trainers. It's fun having him in there, a great guy.

"I watched him spar yesterday, he's looking real good, picking up that defence, looking real good and strong."

Catterall finds himself in must-win territory against an in-form Ekow Essuman (22-1, 8 KOs) on November 15 as part of the Chris Eubank Jr-Conor Benn II undercard at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Essuman is rated No. 3 with the sanctioning body, while Catterall sits five places below him after an anticlimactic divisional debut victory over then-unbeaten contender Harlem Eubank on July 5.
