Big-time boxing returns to Brooklyn on June 27, as two of the most gifted fighters face off for unified super welterweight gold. The main event will see Xander Zayas defend his WBA and WBO belts against Jaron Ennis.
The fight will take place at the Barclays Center. The venue has been home to some of boxing’s young stars, including Devin Haney, Ryan Garcia, and Gervonta Davis.
A two-time U.S. National Championships gold medalist, Zayas (23-0) has thirteen wins via knockout and has gained a massive following since signing with Top Rank at 16. Zayas won the WBO title last July and started 2026 by winning the WBA belt.
The Puerto Rican has made New York his home, competing in various fights at Madison Square Garden’s Theater. Now, he’s ready to step it up and prove he’s the future as he headlines an arena show.

“Long before I became a World champion,” said Zayas. “I always sought to face the biggest challenges in my division. 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!”
Ennis (35-0) is a former unified welterweight champion. The 28-year-old attempted to fight the likes of Terence Crawford and Vergil Ortiz Jr., but Crawford retired, and things got complicated when it came to a potential Ortiz fight. “Boots” has 31 wins via knockout.
For years, Ennis has been built up as the next big thing. He aims to prove it’s not just noise as he moves in weight in an attempt to hold more gold.
“Time to step and collect these belts!” said Ennis. “Knocking them down one by one!”
