For the first time in more than fifteen years, a title unification bout is set for Puerto Rico. Tickets for the junior middleweight title showdown between WBO champion Xander Zayas and WBA king Abass Baraou are on sale now and can be purchased via Ticketera.com. The 154-pound unification bout is scheduled for Saturday, Jan. 31st at Coliseo de Puerto in San Juan. Zayas (22-0, 13 KOs), who hails from San Juan, is making only his second professional appearance on the island after signing with Top Rank as a sixteen-year old in 2019. Baraou (17-1, 9 KOs) is an experienced road warrior who has won eight straight since a split decision loss to Jack Culcay. Like Zayas, he'll be making the maiden defense of his title. The Coliseo de Puerto Rico opened in 2004. Top Rank promoted the first boxing event at the venue that September, when Miguel Cotto knocked out Kelson Pinto to win the vacant WBO junior welterweight world title. It will now host the second unification bout on Puerto Rican shores. The first was the 2010 Fight of the Year between Mexico's Giovani Segura and Puerto Rican icon Ivan Calderon.
