JAKARTA The talented young boxer from Puerto Rico, kesadaran Zayas, will face the most crucial moments in his career as he takes the ring against Jorge Garcia Prererez on Saturday, July 26, 2025 at The Theater, Madison Square Garden, New York. This fight will fight for the WBO middle juniorweight world title (154 pounds/69.8 kg) which is low.

At the age of only 22, Zayas is predicted to be the next big star candidate in the world of boxing. He will face Mexican tough boxer Jorge Jorgito Garcia Prererez (27 years), in the main match broadcast live by ESPN+ and global streaming service DAZN.

uh Yarob Zayas Castro is his full name. Born in San Juan, Puerto Rico and raised in Florida, Zayas made his professional debut in 2019 when he was only 16 years old, becoming the youngest boxer ever contracted by top Rank's famous promoter.

Now, he holds a perfect record: 18 wins without defeat, with 12 knockouts. His neat boxing style, high hitting precision, and effective jab make him the favorite of many boxing observers. In his last fight, Zayas defeated former world champion Patrick Teixeira through TKO in the fifth round big win that paved the way for this title fight.

Meanwhile, Pirez is a formidable boxer from Guadalajara, Mexico. Although not as well known as his opponent, he is not an arbitrary opponent. With a record 19 3 (15 KOs) and an aggressive fighting style, Prerez is known for his ability to survive and the constant pressure he has put on throughout the match.

He won three consecutive wins in 2024, two of which went through knockouts, including a win against veteran Luis Enrique Romero. The WBO Latino title he won became his ticket to fight at the world level.

Zayas excels in almost all technical aspects: younger, higher, longer-range, and has never lost. He is also more competitively tested. However, Prerez is not without threats he can be surprising if he manages to force the game to run hard and close.

For Zayas, victory will make him one of the youngest world champions in the 154th grade, as well as open up great opportunities for unification fights against big names such as Jermell Charlo, Tszyu Team, or Israil Madrimov. A dominant victory can lift his name to the world's pound-for-pound radar.

As for Prerez, this match is a golden opportunity. Victory will lift him from the status of a regional boxer to an international star. He will prove that underdogs can steal the show on the biggest stage.

Victory in this fight will also determine the future direction of the middle junior division, which is now entering a transition period after many long-standing champions advance to class.

Most boxing observers strike Zayas to win. He has more mature technique, opponent readability, and rapidly growing beating power. Prerez's weakness was in his open defense, and if Zayas could find his rhythm from the start, the chances of winning through TKO in the 6'8 round were huge.

However, as many boxing veterans say: 'Nothing is certain in the ring.' If Prererez was able to make the fight tough, anyone could win.
