One of the biggest fights of the year has finally arrived, allowing Xander Zayas to defend the WBA and WBO 154-pound titles<\/a> against Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis. <\/p>\n

Zayas and Ennis have a full day to themselves as the headlining fight for the only major boxing event of the day. As two of the biggest stars in the middle divisions, all eyes will be on their highly anticipated clash on Saturday night.<\/p>\n

With Zayas promoted by Top Rank and Ennis coming from Matchroom Boxing, both Eddie Hearn and Bob Arum have a hand in the event. As such, the veteran promoters put two of their best up-and-coming prospects on the undercard.<\/p>\n

Before Ennis takes center stage, Hearn has one of his brightest young stars, Ben Whittaker, making his United States debut<\/a> at the Barclays Center. The undefeated light heavyweight prodigy faces 35-year-old Richard Rivera on the main card. Whittaker, who has expressed excitement to fight in front of the American fan base, is the biggest favorite on Saturday night.<\/p>\n

Zayas enters his first unified title defense five months after a split decision win over Abass Baraou to collect the WBA belt. He became a world champion by winning a vacant WBO title fight with Jorge Garcia Perez in his previous fight.<\/p>\n

A victory for Ennis would make ‘Boots’ a two-division world champion. The flashy 28-year-old won five consecutive IBF welterweight title fights before moving up to 154 pounds in October 2025 with a quick first-round knockout of Uisma Lima.<\/p>\n

\"Jaron<\/p>\n

Ennis claimed the WBA interim super welterweight title by beating Lima, but he has since vacated that belt to challenge Zayas<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Arum also has another hot prospect, Jahi Tucker, competing in his biggest event of the year. The 23-year-old New York native faces the undefeated Euri Cedeno earlier in the night. Tucker, 16-1-1, is coming off an impressive sixth-round knockout win over Sona Akale on the undercard of the Emanuel Navarrete vs. Eduardo Nu\u00f1ez event in February.<\/p>\n

The Matchroom and Top Rank-promoted event was not expected to have its entire day to itself, with Floyd Mayweather scheduled to face former kickboxer Mike Zambidis in an eight-round exhibition on Saturday night. However, Mayweather’s lingering legal issues have prevented the fight from happening, canceling the event altogether<\/a>.<\/p>\n

While Zayas vs. Ennis is the only event on Saturday night, they are not alone on the weekend’s slate. Zuffa Boxing returns on Sunday for its eighth event headlined by a lightweight rematch between Jose Valenzuela and the debuting Edwin de los Santos.<\/p>\n

De los Santos and Valenzuela are joined on the eight-fight card by Zuffa Boxing prospects Jaybrio Pe Benito, Damoni Cato-Cain and Omar Trinidad, among others. Undefeated welterweight prospect Brandun Lee is also making his promotional debut in the first fight of the main card.<\/p>\n
