Emiliano Vargas, The Ring's 2025 “Prospect of the Year,” will return in the chief support against New York's Bryce Mills (22-1, 9 KOs) as part of the DAZN PPV coverage preceding Xander Zayas-Jaron Ennis in two months' time at Barclays Center in Brooklyn.

The 22-year-old Vargas, who stopped Agustin Quintana on the Emanuel Navarrete-Eduardo Nunez show February 28, has been vocal about stepping up toward championship level at junior welterweight.

He'll defend his regional titles against former Muay Thai and kickboxing amateur Mills, who won one himself with a fourth-round knockout of Tobias Green on the Elijah Pierce-Lorenzo Parra undercard that same night, February 28.

Mills will fight for the third time in four months when he faces Vargas. He stopped Julio Rosa after the third round Saturday night in Rochester, New York, to ensure his place in this fight with Vargas.

Ben Whittaker's long-awaited U.S. debut will also come on the Zayas-Ennis undercard against Richard Rivera (27-2, 20 KOs), as the light heavyweight talent seeks to make waves abroad. Rivera will end a 17-month layoff against the electric Brit, 28, who topped the bill on short-notice and needed less than a round to stop Braian Suarez on April 18 in Liverpool, England.

Rivera's highest-profile night came in the Saudi Arabian city of Jeddah four years ago, narrowly losing a 10-round split decision at cruiserweight against former WBC champion Badou Jack on the Anthony Joshua-Oleksandr Usyk II undercard.

New York middleweight contender Jahi Tucker (16-1-1, 7 KOs) will look for a statement on home soil when facing Euri Cedeno, who scored a shutout win over Etoundi William on the Zayas-Abass Baraou undercard January 31.

Cedeno, the WBA's No. 5-rated contender for Erislandy Lara's title, is now presented with a career-best opportunity to showcase his skills nearer the upper echelons of a division in need of renewed energy. Tucker sits No. 10 with the IBF, which has ordered Etinosa Oliha-Aaron McKenna for its vacant 160-pound strap.
