Unified junior middleweight champion Xander Zayas will put his WBA and WBO titles on the line against Jaron "Boots" Ennis on June 27 and Barclays Center in Brooklyn, ESPN confirmed on Monday.
Claressa Shields & Franchon Crews-Dezurn didn’t just fight… they went to WAR. But the real knockout moment came AFTER the bell.
Claressa looked Franchon dead in her eyes and said, “If I ever hurt you, I’m sorry. I respect you.”
Franchon hit her back with, “I love you. You’ll always be my sister. I’ve been rooting for you since you were 15.”
That’s not beef. That’s BOND.
Two friends threw hands like enemies, gave the fans a SHOW, then hugged like family. Claressa didn’t have to give her that shot — but she did. That’s loyalty AND risk. That’s GWOAT energy.
And let’s be clear… FRANCHON AIN’T NO BUM. She beat SHADASIA GREEN.
This was heart, history, and heavy punches all in one.
Salute to both queens for a fight AND a moment the sport needed.
Bucky Irving with the realest quote you’ll ever hear on his QB, Baker Mayfield!
“He’s the type of Quarterback I’ll take in a dark alley with me, cuz i know he’s gonna come out shooting!” 🔥🔥🔥
