In Friday's ten-round junior middleweight co-feature at Madison Square Garden's Theater in New York City, Puerto Rico's Xander Zayas (20-0, 12 KOs) looks to retain his WBO #1 ranking against fellow unbeaten Slawa Spomer (20-0, 11 KOs) of Germany. Here is what Spomer had to say at the final press conference earlier this week: "I want to show that I belong at the top. Xander is also a top boxer, and I want to climb to the top. In order to get there, you have to fight the best fighters in the world. That’s why I’m here. Camp with Roy Jones Jr. was amazing. So, two dreams have come true. One was to fight at Madison Square Garden, and the other was to prepare with Roy Jones Jr. The preparation and camp were very good. I’ve been in the game long, so I didn’t need to learn the basics. But now, I see different things because of what Roy has taught me. So, I’m proud of that opportunity.”
