Tonight promises to deliver a gripping fight in New York as the undefeated Xander Zayas and Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis go against each other on Saturday night, June 27 .

Saturday Fight Night is live and exclusive on DAZN PPV and Ultimate Tier , as Matchroom and Top Rank team up to stage the world title showdown at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn.

Zayas, 23-0, (13 KOs) will defend his WBO and WBA world junior middleweight titles after unifying them in January by defeating Abass Baraou.

At 23-years-old he became boxing's youngest unified ruler and the first Puerto Rican to unify at the weight.

Where is the Zayas-Ennis fight?

The fight is set to be held at the  Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York, US.

The venue is no stranger to fight fans, hosting plenty of Deontay Wilder's fights down the years.

The home of WNBA franchise New York Liberty, the Barclays Center will host the 2026 NBA Draft just days before the Zayas-Ennis fight, while Bruce Spingsteen performs there in May.

Zayas vs. Ennis form and history

23-year-old Xander Zayas is red hot as he returns for his ninth fight in New York. The city has been good to the Puerto Rican, who won his first world title, the WBO belt, at The Theater at Madison Square Garden in July 2025 by defeating Jorge Garcia Perez.

That set up the opportunity to unify the weight in January thanks to a split decision victory over Abass Baraou in a thrilling bout in San Juan.

For Philliphelia's Jaron 'Boots' Ennis it is all about making further history as he fights in New York for the first time.

A destructive beating of Eimantas Stanionis in April 2025 saw him unify the welterweight division as he added the WBA strap to his IBF title.

Boots, who will turn 29 the day before his fight with Zayas, is now looking to become a two-weight unified champion and has already sent a powerful message to the middleweight division.

In his first fight at the weight in October 2025, Ennis put down Uismas Lima twice in the first round to secure an early TKO victory.
