Xander Zayas says that he plans to defeat Jorge Garcia Perez to get the free Midor title in the WBO medium weight this Saturday, and then try to unite with the WBC 154-LB champion, Sebastian Fund. The way Zayas talks (21-0, 13 KO) is just a formality that #2 Perez (33-4, 26 KO) defeated to capture the free WBO title.

Zayas vs. Perez Preview

Zayas-Perez header on July 26 at Madison Square Garden Theater in Modern York. The event will be shown live on ESPN and ESPN+ at 21:00 et / 18:00 PT for the main card. The estate starts at 5:10 et.

“I am joyful at the age of 22. I am fighting for the title of world champion. This is another fight and I have to take care of business,” said Xander Zayas Sean Zittel About his fight with Jorge Garcia Perez on Saturday. “It’s thrilling, hearing people saying that they want me to be another guy for Puerto Rico, and this is something I want to do.”

It would look better if Zayas defeated some high -quality fighters to get his ranking No. 1, because it looks like he was maneuvered in its highest place by cunning, and not by placing him against fighters at level A to gain his position. Rate alone. These are the last three opponents of Xander:

– Sława spomer
– Damian Sosa
– Patrick Teixeira

It is no accident that Zayas adapted the highest ranking with these warriors, not Vergil Ortiz Jr, Israil Madrimov, Serhia Bohachuk or Yoenis Tellez.

“I want to bring glory to my island, but I want to bring glory to Xander Zayas. I do not want to bring glory as the next Tito or the next Cotto. I just want to be myself,” said Zayas.

There is no way that Xander becomes the next Miguel Cotto, Felix Trinidad or Wilfredo Benitez for Puerto Rico, because he lacks the strength of impact and has a lot of rabbits. Zayas fights more like the intersection of Devin Haney and Shakur Stevenson. This is not a compliment either.

The reason why Zayas’s popularity did not enhance is that his style is not humorous. It is a larger version of Haney. The best rank pushed Zayas to fans, hoping that he would turn him into a star, but it was a failure. He lacks the “factor” that fans are looking for.

Zayas Dreams

“When I become a world champion, we can still make the fight happen in the future,” Zayas said about Sebastian Fund. “I don’t think it’s a duck. He made a business decision.”

It was an obvious choice for the fund. Go towards a nice day of payout in a rematch with Ty in a fight, which fans wanted to see, instead of fighting the less known, defensive warrior for little money in Zayas. If, born in Puerto Rican, Xander from the USA were popular, the fund would fight the fund with him. It brings nothing to the table.

Keyshawn Davis should utilize Ryan Garcia’s plan against Devin Haney

Mosley was asked where Keyshawn fits into the situation and gave his take on how this fight would go.

Mosley pointed to Garcia’s upset win over Haney as the type of performance Keyshawn should try to repeat.

“I think Keyshawn would take the Ryan Garcia method and jump on him. Dev will try him out for the first two or three rounds, but when that doesn’t work, he’ll get on his bike and be gone,” Mosley told MillCity Boxing.

“He’s got to make sure he’s ready because if he’s not like he was when he started, you know, you’ve got to go with Devin because Devin, you know, he’s going to be ready,” Mosley said.

The father of the former three-division world champion also suggested that Haney and his father, Bill Haney, have developed a reputation for gaining the upper hand before a fight even starts.

“They’re really good at talking and having fun with the guy. That’s the fight before the fight,” Mosley said. “This mental war. It’s definitely working.”

Keyshawn, who is currently ranked No. 1 in the WBO welterweight division, has repeatedly called for a fight with Haney since he became the mandatory challenger. Meanwhile, Haney continued to say he wanted to face Shakur next.

The WBO ordered Haney to fight Keyshawn, while Haney also publicly discussed fighting Stevenson. The decision in which direction it will go may determine the immediate future of the division.

Hamzah Sheeraz called for ‘war’ against Anthony Joshua by hitting him with a ‘devastating punch’

Hamzah Sheeraz called out for ‘war’ on Anthony Joshua undercard by ‘devastating puncher’

Hamzah Sheeraz won the WBO super middleweight title last month and the undefeated star wants a quick turnaround, with another 168-pounder stating he would be ready for the opportunity to fight the Briton at tiny notice.

Anthony Joshua will return to action next month when he faces Kristian Prenga in Jeddah on July 25, hoping to make his long-awaited showdown with arch-rival Tyson Fury.

Earlier this week Boxing Scene reported that two world titles could be up for grabs on the undercard, with both Josh Kelly and Sheeraz set to make their first defense of their world titles in the super welterweight and super middleweight divisions, respectively.

Although Kelly is reportedly scheduled to face Caoimhin Agyarko from Belfast, Sheeraz’s opponent is unknown and the only condition is a place in the top fifteen of the WBO rankings.

In an interview with Boxing News, 39-year-old Milorad Zizic, who is rated No. 9 by the WBO, shared his desire to challenge for Sheeraz’s crown in a fight where he could join Dejan Zlatičanin as the second Montenegrin world champion in boxing history.

“It would mean a lot to me. I live for this goal. It would be a great honor for me, my family, Montenegro and the entire Balkan region. Becoming only the second world champion in Montenegro’s history would be something truly special.”

“It would mean everything to me. I live for boxing. I truly believe this fight could become the upset of the decade.”

Zizić, once called the hardest punch Floyd Mayweather Sr. had ever seenand then shared his confidence in the proposed competition, in which he hopes to continue his streak of six consecutive fights that lasted no longer than two rounds.

“Hamzah Sheeraz is a true champion. He is in great shape and I have a lot of respect for him. But believe me, he has never faced such a devastating blow as I did. Believe me, he will never face such a devastating blow as I did. I respect him as a fighter, but not to the point of thinking that I cannot beat him. I believe in my abilities and I am sure that I can make my dream come true.

“It will be a war from the first bell, I know how it can be. If we fight and he survives five rounds, he will be the winner, but five rounds against me is a long time.

“If Hamzah and his team want this fight, I’m ready. If not, that’s fine too. I will keep moving forward, keep working and stay focused on my journey. My time will come.”

Although his head coach is Joco Todorovic, Zizic has previously been cornered by fan favorite four-division world champion Roy Jones Jr, who continues to train him.

Speaking to Boxing News, Jones explained why he thinks Zizic will be an compelling test for Sheeraz, agreeing with Zizic’s plan to force a shootout.

“Zizic is a very strenuous puncher, as is Sheeraz, they are both very strenuous punchers. Zizic was off for a minute, but he came back and got four quick wins, he’s back busy and I think it would be a great fight for Sheeraz.”

“Like I said, they’re both really good punchers, and Sheeraz won’t come across many people who can match his punching power, but Zizic has that punching power.”

“He has to go straight to him. He can’t try to box him, he’ll go straight to him. That would probably be the smartest approach because if you box him, as long as he [Sheeraz] means he will beat you.

“So your best chance is to get to him as rapid as you can and see if he can withstand your blows. If you wait, he’ll get you out of there.”

News on Sheeraz’s opponent – if he appears on the card – is expected soon, with fellow WBO-ranked contenders Bernardin Jakaj (No. 12) and Jack Bowen (No. 14) also among potential opponents.
