"The Big Room at MSG or in Puerto Rico": Vito Mielnicki Wants Xander Zayas

Ringcard flip, darlings: JERSEY VS. SAN JUAN? 🪧

RUMOR. The callout. Fresh off his win over Austin "Ammo" Williams, Vito Mielnicki Jr. took to social media with a polite-but-pointed request. Per Boxing News 24, he wrote: "Nothing but respect for my guy @xander.zayas, but this is the fight that needs to happen!! The big room at MSG or in Puerto Rico."

Respect and a venue list. That's manners, darlings. 💅

REPORTED. The promoter's plan, from last week. Last week Eddie Hearn told iFL TV, as Boxing News 24 reported: "I want him to fight Xander Zayas. It's a massive fight for New York… We're promoting Xander Zayas's next fight in February, it looks like. It won't be that fight, but I'd like to see him come back and then fight Vito. Vito will have a fight as well around the same time, and then those two fight in the summer."

So Hearn wants interim fights for both men first, then Vito-Xander next summer. That's a plan, not a contract. Nothing is signed, and there's no date or venue.
