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.

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