The junior middleweight matchup for the vacant WBO title was made official on Friday afternoon in New York City.
Undefeated contender Xander Zayas (21-0, 13 KOs) and his opponent Jorge ‘Chino’ Garcia (33-4, 26 KOs) both stepped on the scale and made weight ahead of Saturday night’s final Top Rank on ESPN fight card. This main event is more intriguing than what fans may think, as Garcia represents the toughest test to date for Zayas. Who will leave the Theater Madison Square Garden with the WBO strap?
