The program offers fight fans a 30-minute portrayal of undefeated rising Puerto Rican sensation Xander Zayas (18-0,12 KOs) as he prepares for his first career main event. Zayas, who signed with Top Rank at 16 as their youngest prospect ever, is now 21 and headlining for the first time in New York City during the weekend of the famed Puerto Rican Day Parade. Fans will get an exclusive inside look at this emerging fighter as he strives to follow in the footsteps of Puerto Rican fight legends such as Felix Trinidad and Miguel Cotto. Before he can fight for a world title, he must pass his toughest test to date in Brazilian former world champion Patrick Teixeira (34-4, 25 KOs).
The program will also be available for replay on-demand in the ESPN App, on ESPN.com, and ESPN+.
