Boots - Zayas Credit: DAZN The biggest, most exciting and important fight in boxing at 154 pounds happens on Saturday in Brooklyn at Barclays Center. WBO and WBA champion Xander Zayas will defend his titles against Jaron "Boots" Ennis in a clash between two of the best fighters in the world. If you love boxing, you don't want to miss it. Here's everything you need to know. Let's talk boxing.
Besides the two world titles, a spot on the pound-for-pound list should go to the winner. Zayas is already the youngest unified champion in the sport. A win over a talent like Boots would validate him on another level.
For Boots, he is one of the top talents in the sport, but he is without a signature victory. A win over Zayas and unified titles at 154 pounds would be that highlight win.
The 154-pound division is among boxing's deepest, and the winner is expected to move toward names like WBC champion Sebastian Fundora and Vergil Ortiz Jr. Ennis unified the welterweight division before moving up, while Zayas is a perfect 23-0. Ennis enters as the betting favorite, but Zayas owns size and reach edges and has vowed to drag the fight into the deep, physical championship rounds.
Barclays Center has become a major venue for boxing over the past few years. Zayas-Boots could add to the list of memorable clashes.
The fight goes down Saturday, June 27, 2026 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, with the DAZN broadcast opening at 8:30 p.m. ET / 5:30 p.m. PT. Main-event ring walks are expected around 10:45 p.m. ET, though that depends on how the undercard plays out. Doors at Barclays typically open in the early evening for fans attending in person.
The British light heavyweight sensation is the highlight of the undercard.
That sensation is Ben Whittaker, the charismatic light heavyweight who faces Richard Rivera. The chief support is unbeaten Emiliano Vargas against Bryce Mills at super lightweight, with a pair of prospect bouts filling out the bill. Here is the full announced card:
This one is pay-per-view, and as the concept goes, it's worth it. It's up to you to decide if it's worth paying $74.99 because that's what DAZN is charging unless you've already bought into the Ultimate Tier subscription.
