Xander Zayas will defend his WBO and WBA super welterweight titles against Jaron Ennis on June 27 at Barclays Center, live on DAZN PPV.
Zayas (23-0, 13 KOs) became the youngest unified champion in boxing after defeating Abass Baraou earlier this year and now returns to New York for his second title defense.
“Long before I became a World champion, I always sought to face the biggest challenges in my division I have never shied away from a fight and have always been willing to test my skills against anyone. Now, as the unified champion, I am ready to defend my world titles against one of the sport's biggest names. I have always believed in myself, and on June 27, I will continue to show the world what is possible when you dare to be great!”
Ennis (35-0, 31 KOs) moves up to 154 pounds after unifying the welterweight division and quickly making an impact at his new weight. “Time to step and collect these belts! Knocking them down one by one! #AndTheNew.”
The bout brings together two undefeated champions in a high-stakes unification, with both fighters aiming to establish themselves at the top of the division. Promoters and broadcasters have positioned the event as one of the standout fights of the summer, with both camps emphasizing the significance of matching elite fighters at this stage of their careers.
