Top Rank have only been with DAZN for a short period , but the legendary promotional group are already plotting big fights with their new broadcast partner.
Bob Arum’s company have been involved in boxing for six decades and the next phase on their journey sees them join forces with the Global Home of Boxing.
Top Rank have several major fighters and one of those is current world champion at 154lbs, Xander Zayas.
The popular Puerto Rican has looked impressive so far in his career and with the super-welterweight division heating up, there are plenty of opportunities for the talented 23-year-old.
Josh Kelly, Vergil Ortiz, and Jaron Ennis are all competing in the same weight class and with the latter pair still unsuccessful in securing their own fight, could Ennis be the next opponent for Zayas?
“Yeah, we’re talking” about that fight,” said Todd DuBoef, a senior figure at Top Rank when discussing the next move of Zayas with on the Ariel Helwani Show.
“I’m not sure Puerto Rico’s the place to do [the Boots fight.] In a perfect world, I love New York for that fight, but the availability is [difficult]. Xander wants the fight.”
“We’d love to do the fight, and I know that Matchroom and DAZN would love to see Boots get that fight.”
