Puerto Rican boxer Xander Zayas will face Brazilian Patrick Teixeira on Saturday, June 8, at The Theater at Madison Square Garden in New York. This ten-round junior welterweight matchup headlines a packed evening of fights.
Xander Zayas enters the ring undefeated with an 18-0 record, including 12 knockouts. Born September 5, 2002, in San Juan, Puerto Rico, the 5’10” fighter has quickly risen through the ranks demonstrating notable skill and discipline in his category. His opponent, Patrick Teixeira from Sao Paulo, Brazil, stands slightly taller at 5'11.5" and brings extensive experience with a professional record of 34 wins and four losses; of these victories, he secured 25 by knockout.
The event will have additional matches worth noting. Promising fighters like Bruce 'Shu Shu' Carrington and Jose Enrique Vivas are set to contest in the featherweight class over ten rounds. Young talents such as Jahi Tucker and Quincy LaVallais will compete in an eight-round junior middleweights bout.
Both fighters possess similar reach - Zaya's reach extends to 74 inches while Teixeira extends half an inch more - pointing towards what might be a well-matched fight in physical terms but varies drastically when reviewing their level of experience and total number of fights prior.
