Signing him at 16, Bob Arum and company have invested a lot in Zayas. Competing on the final Top Rank card on ESPN, Zayas is ready to hold gold around his waist.
“They’ve been together for so long (ESPN and Top Rank), and for me to have their final fight under their broadcast, to close out what was a beautiful story. For me to be in that position it means a lot,” Zayas told Sports Illustrated.
“It’s going to be an amazing night. I’m gonna become a world champion. And I’m going to bring glory to Puerto Rico.”
Garcia (33-4) has 26 wins via knockout and beat Charles Conwell in April to secure a shot at gold. It took the Mexican fighter twelve years to fight for a title. Now, the 28-year-old looks to fulfill his dream while halting Zayas’ momentum.
