Zayas vs Teixeira headlines June 8 ESPN show in New York

Bruce Carrington meats Jose Enrique Vivas in the main card opener

Puerto Rican prospect Xander Zayas is all set for his first main event, as Top Rank announced today that the 21-year-old super welterweight will meet former interim champion Patrick Teixeira atop a June 8th ESPN show at The Theater at Madison Square Garden.

This marks the third 10-rounder of Zayas’ (18-0, 12 KO) career, though he needed less than 10 cumulative rounds to dispatch Roberto Valenzuela Jr and Jorge Fortea.
