Xander Zayas (23-0, 13 KOs) and Jaron Ennis (35-0, 31 KOs)Â will have their respective toughest tests to date when they battle for the former's WBA/WBO super welterweight titles on Saturday evening from the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, N.Y., live and exclusively on DAZN PPV.
Zayas and Ennis are a combined 58-0 with 44 of those wins coming by way of knockout. The native of Puerto Rico is only 23 years of age, while Ennis is 28. Each guy hasn't reached their primes and are already building Hall of Fame resumes.Â
The super welterweight division is one of the deepest in boxing, with Zayas, Ennis, Vergil Ortiz Jr., WBC titlist Sebastian Fundora, IBF champion Josh Kelly, Tim Tszyu, and, debuting at the weight class, former three-belt welterweight champion Errol Spence Jr.
Many feel the winner of Zayas-Ennis will become the premier fighter at 154 pounds. It's a sentiment that both guys agreed with as they sat in close proximity to one another at Thursday's final press conference.Â
"I'm the best 154-pounder in the world," Zayas said when asked by DAZN's Chris Mannix on what people will be saying after the conclusion of the fight. "That's what it's all about. Legacy. Keep building that legacy. Keep building the history. Keep building the resume. And Saturday night, after the fight, everybody's gonna say I'm the best 154-pounder in the world."
"Most definitely," Ennis told Mannix when asked the same question. "On Saturday night, they're going to be like, 'Man, we never nothing like it'. These guys can't do what I do. Carry it like I carry it. And I'm gonna show the world there's really levels.
On Saturday night, you will hear the words, and new unified WBO/WBA super welterweight champion of the world, Jaron 'Boots' Ennis.Â
