Fight action from Coliseo de Puerto Rico in San Juan begins at 5:30 p.m. ET/2:30 p.m. PT

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (Jan. 21, 2026) — The junior middleweight title unification tilt between WBO king Xander Zayas and WBA ruler Abass Baraou — Saturday, Jan. 31, at Coliseo de Puerto Rico in San Juan — will be available to stream for free on the Top Rank Classics FAST channel in the U.S.

The broadcast will start at 5:30 p.m. ET/2:30 p.m. PT, with the welterweight co-feature between Dominican phenom Rohan “El Rayo” Polanco (17-0, 10 KOs) and Mexican veteran Christian Gomez (23-6-1, 21 KOs) set for 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT. Zayas vs. Baraou will begin at approximately 10 p.m. ET/7 p.m. PT.

Zayas (22-0, 13 KOs), a San Juan native, hopes to impress the partisan fans with a historic victory. If he bests Baraou, he’ll become the first Puerto Rican boxer to unify world titles on home soil. Baraou (17-1, 9 KOs), a German pressure fighter making the first defense of his world title, has won eight straight since a disputed split decision loss to Jack Culcay. His last five bouts have come on away soil, including last August’s unanimous decision over Cuban star Yoenis Tellez in Orlando, Florida.

The Top Rank Classics stream is also scheduled to include the following bouts:

Juanmita Lopez De Jesus (4-0, 2 KOs) vs. Conner Goade (8-4-2, 7 KOs), 6 rounds, Junior Bantamweight

Carlos De Leon Castro (6-0, 5 KOs) vs. Diuhl Olguin (17-47-7, 10 KOs), 6 rounds, Junior Lightweight

Yadriel Caban (2-0, 2 KOs) vs. Jeremis Hernandez-Torres (2-2, 0 KOs), 4 rounds, Flyweight

Euri Cedeno (13-0-1, 12 KOs) vs. Etoundi Michel William (16-2, 12 KOs), 10 rounds, Middleweight

Giovani Santillan (34-1, 18 KOs) vs. Courtney Pennington (17-11-3, 7 KOs), 10 Rounds, Junior Middleweight
