Xander Zayas has secured his immediate future by signing a multi-year promotional extension with Top Rank.
The agreement comes at a pivotal moment, as Zayas is set to defend his WBO and WBA junior middleweight titles against Jaron Ennis on June 27 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn - a fight widely viewed as the biggest of his career to date. Regardless of the outcome, his long-term commitment to Top Rank is now locked in.
At just 23, Zayas has already followed a rapid trajectory. After turning professional at a young age, he captured his first world title at 22 and quickly unified the division by defeating Abass Baraou earlier this year.
For Zayas, the decision signals stability at a time when the sport is shifting. With new promotional players entering the market and fighters increasingly weighing different paths, staying with a promoter that has guided his entire career offers continuity heading into elite-level fights.
