The undercard for Xander Zayas vs Jaron “Boots” Ennis is official.
Top Rank and Matchroom will be co-promoting the card and have decided to feature some of their best prospects on June 27 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn. The card will stream live on DAZN through either their Ultimate tier or as a pay-per-view.
The main event will see Zayas (23-0, 13 KO) defending his WBA and WBO super welterweight titles against ex-welterweight titlist Ennis (35-0, 31 KO) in a meeting of two of boxing’s most notable rising stars.
Top Rank’s Emiliano Vargas (17-0, 14 KO) will face Bryce Mills (22-1, 9 KO) in a 10-round super lightweight bout. The 22-year-old Vargas featured with Zayas in Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime performance. The second-generation fighter last fought on February 28. Mills, 24, lost a six-round split decision in his seventh pro fight back in 2021, but has rebounded nicely. It’s a step up for him, and also a big chance to make his own name.
Matchroom’s Ben Whittaker (11-0-1, 8 KO) will turn around quick after his first round knockout of Braian Suarez on April 18, facing Connecticut veteran (27-2, 20 KO) in a 10-round light heavyweight bout. Rivera, 35, hasn’t fought just once in the last two years, and that most recent outing came in January 2025, so he’s been inactive a while. He has mainly fought at a club level, but he gave Badou Jack a decent scrap at cruiserweight back in 2022, too.
The Zayas vs Boots fight is scheduled for June 27.
The fight will take place at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn.
The fight will be streamed live on DAZN through their Ultimate tier or as a pay-per-view.

Another Top Rank prospect, Jahi Tucker (16-1-1, 7 KO), will look to continue his bounce-back in a more 50/50 sort of matchup with Euri Cedeno (14-0-1, 12 KO) in a 10-round middleweight fight. The 23-year-old Tucker had a tough two-fight stretch in 2023 where he lost and went to a draw in back-to-back fights, but he’s rebounded with six straight wins. Cedeno, 27, is a Dominican southpaw and not an easy matchup, though he had his own brief stumble with a six-round draw, also in 2023. He’s won eight in a row since then.
