Xander Zayas defends his WBO and WBA World Junior Middleweight titles against Jaron Ennis on June 27 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. Forbes reported that both fighters enter undefeated, with Zayas at 23-0 and Ennis at 35-0. The DAZN pay-per-view broadcast opens at 8:30 p.m.
ET, and main-event ring walks are expected around 10:45 p.m. ET. The event carries a U.S. price of $74.99 on DAZN with no alternative American broadcaster. Ultimate Tier subscribers can purchase it as an add-on, and the stream is available through the DAZN app on smart TVs, streaming devices, mobile, and web.
Ennis enters as the betting favorite, though Zayas holds size and reach advantages. The undercard includes Emiliano Vargas against Bryce Mills at super lightweight, Ben Whittaker against Richard Rivera at light heavyweight, Jahi Tucker against Euri Cedeno at middleweight, and Juan Manuel Lopez Jr. against Albert Motos at super flyweight.
The Barclays Center has hosted multiple prior major championship boxing events. Zayas and Ennis held a press conference face-off on April 8, 2026, in Brooklyn. A win for either fighter positions the victor for a potential unification bout against WBC champion Sebastian Fundora or IBF titleholder Josh Kelly.
