Overview
- The bout is scheduled for Saturday night in San Juan between WBA champion Abass Baraou (17-1) and undefeated WBO titleholder Xander Zayas (22-0).
- The arena is reported sold out at roughly 18,000 spectators, reflecting strong local support for the Puerto Rican champion.
- No German broadcaster acquired rights, making the promoter’s Facebook stream the lone option in Germany.
- Baraou prepared in a Florida camp with trainer Jorge Rubio and has described the unification as the biggest chance of his career.
- A victory would give Baraou a second major belt and make him just the third German to hold two recognized world titles, according to AFP.
