Zayas vs. Ennis on June 27

Xander Zayas (23-0, 13 KOs) will face Jaron Ennis (35-0, 31 KOs) on June 27 in Brooklyn. Fight will be for WBA and WBO super-welterweight titles that Zayas holds and will be live on DAZN.

“Time to step and collect these belts!” Ennis said. “Knocking them down one by one! #AndTheNew.”

Puerto Rico’s Xayas, 23, won the vacant WBO title last July by defeating Jorge Garcia Perez and added the WBA title with a unanimous decision over Abass Baraou in January. A week after defeating Baraou, Zayas made a cameo appearance during Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl LX halftime performance. Zayas is signed to Bad Bunny’s sports agency, Rimas Sports.

“Long before I became a world champion, I always sought to face the biggest challenges in my division,” Zayas said in a statement. “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!”
