Xander Zayas with #1 WBO rank says he is ready to be crowned with the world champion in the junior medium weight in his next fight. The top rank promoting Zayas (21: 0, 13 Kos) is the mandatory WBO champion Sebastian Fundora and is probably increased when he decides not to defend himself against him.
It is not the ideal way for Zayas to capture a world championship title and bring it through the e -mail, but it could be the only way. If you hold the 154 LB belt in WBO, Xander will make a lot of money because he has a huge fan base in his home country Puerto Rico and New York. Like Edgar Berlanga, Zayas can convert it into millions without beating someone special.
On February 14, Xander achieved a TKO victory of the ninth round against Slawa Spomer in Las Vegas. Like the other 20 names in Zaya’s résumé, the Spomer, based in Germany, was a complete unknown without performance. It was like a cake walk for Zayas who made it look simple and went out the light average fighter.
“You already know what’s next. #And the new, ”said Xander Zayas on X and said that he expects to become world champion in his next fight at 154.
Superstar plan
The top rank promoter Bob Arum believes that Xander will be the next superstar in his fighting stable. However, he does not say what kind of star he will be. There are real stars such as Canelo Alvarez and the pseudo simulated. Even if Xander turns out to be as wrong as a three-dollar bill, he can still earn millions if he gets his paws on the WBO belt. It doesn’t matter how he gets it.
When Xander is raised to the WBO champion, he can milk his belt against Josh Kelly, Ardreal Holmes and Milan Prat before he is forced to fight someone from his talent in the league. Until then, Zayas will have his fortune and it will not matter whether he loses.
Fundora did not say a word about the defense against Zayas, 22. This is not a struggle that would pay the lanky 6’5 ‘Fundora (21-1-1, 13 Kos) the kind of money he was looking for for his second defense of his WBC and WBO 154-LB title, which he captured last year from March 30th by Tim TSzyu.
Fundora meets an optional defense of this belt against Fringe Contender Chordale Booker. Suppose he wins this fight, says Sebastian, he wants Terence Crawford or Errol Spence Jr.
