Whittaker, Vargas and Tucker Win on Brooklyn Card
The June 27, 2026 boxing card at Barclays Center in Brooklyn moved from press-conference talk to three completed undercard results. Ben Whittaker stopped Richard Rivera in the second round, earning a quick win in his United States debut. The result followed a physical opening in which Rivera tried to pressure the Olympic medalist.
Emiliano Vargas stopped Bryce Mills by fourth-round TKO. Jahi Tucker also went the distance, outpointing Euri Cedeno in a close contest. These undercard bouts preceded the main event between Jaron Ennis and Xander Zayas, which ended with Ennis winning by seventh-round TKO.

The results provide a clearer account of how the night unfolded: Whittaker and Vargas finished their opponents, while Tucker earned a decision. PhilBoxing’s event recap lists the three undercard outcomes, and other fight coverage confirms the Brooklyn setting and date.
Whittaker’s stoppage was the shortest of the three featured undercard results. Vargas secured a fourth-round TKO, while Tucker completed the scheduled distance to secure his win. Those outcomes are separate from the Ennis–Zayas title result and should be credited to the correct bouts. No future booking follows automatically from any of the three victories. These are verified results.
