Boxing : Ennis to Challenge Zayas for Titles on June 27 in Brooklyn

Xander Zayas defends his WBA and WBO junior middleweight titles against Jaron "Boots" Ennis on June 27 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn. ESPN confirms the fight will stream live on DAZN PPV, following a new multi-year deal between DAZN and Top Rank. Ennis, unbeaten at 35-0, shifts focus from a potential bout with Vergil Ortiz Jr. after contract disputes left Ortiz’s future uncertain. Ennis aims to secure another title in his second weight class after debuting at 154 pounds with a first-round knockout last October. Zayas, also undefeated at 23-0, captured the WBO title in July and the WBA title in January. Zayas, signed to Bad Bunny's Rimas Sports, embraces the challenge. "I have never shied away from a fight," he states. Anticipation builds for this electrifying matchup, showcasing two of boxing's brightest talents.
