NEW YORK CITY (July 23, 2025)— Puerto Rican sensation Xander Zayas will have his first world title shot at his home away from home.

Zayas will lock horns with Mexican puncher Jorge Garcia for the vacant WBO junior middleweight world title this Saturday, July 26, at The Theater at Madison Square Garden.

In the co-feature, Brooklyn native Bruce “Shu Shu” Carrington takes on unbeaten Namibian Mateus Heita for the WBC interim featherweight world title.

Emiliano Fernando Vargas returns against Ecuador’s Alexander Espinoza in an eight-round junior welterweight battle.

Zayas-Garcia, Carrington-Heita, and Vargas-Espinoza will be broadcast live on ESPN, ESPN Deportes, and ESPN+ at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT.

Promoted by Top Rank, in association with Zanfer Boxing and Golden Boy Promotions, tickets are on sale via Ticketmaster.com.

The ESPN+-streamed undercard (6 p.m. ET/ 3 p.m. PT) will feature a loaded slate of unbeaten contenders and emerging talents:

• Rohan Polanco vs. Quinton Randall, 10 rounds, Polanco's WBO Intercontinental Welterweight Title
