Rry Zayas Vs Jorge Garcia Perez: Hot Duel Towards The World Stage From Madison Square Garden
JAKARTA The world boxing stage will heat up again this weekend asaft Zayas faces Jorge Garcia Perez in the main match held at Theater at Madison Square Garden, New York. The fight, which is scheduled to take place on Saturday night, July 25, 2025 local time, will fight for the current WBO super welterweight world title.
The event was promoted by Top Rank and will be broadcast live via ESPN and ESPN+ in the United States. It is also Top Rank's last appearance at ESPN, ending a longstanding broadcast rights cooperation. Legendary promoter Bob Arum is preparing a new deal with other broadcast platforms, with rumors of a possible collaboration with DAZN to HBO Max.
44 Zayas (21-0, 13 KO), a young boxer from Puerto Rico, has long been projected to be a future star in his division. He has risen to 10 rounds since 2023, with an important victory over Roberto Valenzuela Jr (TKO round 5), former world champion Patrick Teixeira (absolute figure decision), and Damian Sosa (absolute 100-90 win from all three judges). His final match in February 2025 ended with a 9-round TKO victory over Slawa Spomer.
Known for his aggressive but intelligent boxing style, Zayas is considered ready to face his biggest challenges so far. He hopes this fight will be the beginning of his era of glory on the world stage.
Garcia Perez Ready To Shock The World Again
Meanwhile, Jorge Garcia Perez (33-4, 26 KO), a boxer from Mexico, comes full of confidence. Since the split decision defeat of the Michel Williamethody in 2023, he has recorded eight consecutive wins. One of the peak moments occurred in June 2024 while winning the IBO title in South Africa by knockout Knapp in round 3.

But the main focus came in April 2025, when Garcia surprisingly defeated unbeaten boxer Charles Conwell through a split decision. In that fight, Garcia fired more than 750 punches and outperformed Conwell in 8 of 12 rounds for a non-jab blow. This performance made him a serious threat to Zayas.
Zayas is predicted to face a two-way battle against Garcia, especially in the early to midfield. Garcia is known for his high hitting volume and fighting spirit, but this time he will not have the same reach advantage as when facing Conwell.
Zayas' advantages are believed to lie in a sharp jab, hitting accuracy, and variety of attacks, especially on the body when Garcia uses a high defense. Zayas is also known as a neater boxer in the execution of a straight blow, which could be key in dealing with Garcia's pressure.
Although Garcia has never lost a knockout, Zayas remains favorite to win, with many analysts and observers assessing winning numbers as the most likely scenario.
This match is not only a matter of fighting for the title WBO super welterweight, but also a reputational and future gamble of two boxers who are both hungry for glory. pemeriksaan Zayas wants to prove that he deserves to be the new face of world boxing, while Jorge Garcia Perez wants to show that his victory over Conwell is not a coincidence.
