With a big super welterweight clash on the schedule for later this month when Xander Zayas defends his world titles against Jaron \u2018Boots\u2019 Ennis on June 27, Matchroom Boxing takes fans behind the scenes of Zayas in training camp as he physically and mentally prepares himself for the impending battle.<\/p>\n
\u201cSame focus, same hunger, same dedication, same everything,\u201d Zayas said of training camp. \u201cNothing changes. It\u2019s another fight, most important fight of my career. But every fight is important. Nothing different. I got to keep being who I am, being true to myself, know what works for me, exploit it.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s what it comes down to. I know who I am, I know what I put myself through every camp and I know put the shifts when I need to put the shifts, so whatever he says won\u2019t affect me because I\u2019ve been here before. I\u2019ve been here since I was 16 years old.\u201d<\/p>\n
Zayas hasn\u2019t for one second expressed any doubts that he\u2019s not going to come through against Boots, but he says he\u2019s still taking him extremely seriously as he know he\u2019s a serious contender in this fight.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s the hardest opponent in my career,\u201d Zayas says. \u201cEvery fight was a step into that direction and obviously facing somebody like Boots, former world champion coming up to a new weight class and wanting to be the king of the weight class is obviously challenging because you know he\u2019s coming with his best. But you got to expect the best out of me and I promise it\u2019s going to bring the best version out of Xander Zayas.\u201d<\/p>\n
