Barau became interim champion in August when he upset Yoenis Tellez by outpointing the Cuban to win via unanimous decision.
‘Boots’ has since stepped into the void left by Barau and overcame Lima in less than a round to claim the interim belt, previously owned by the German.

“Top Rank has approached Xander about integration [Zayas],” Barau explained. “Virgil Ortiz is also an opponent I want to test myself against. We’re looking forward to the next big fight. I like Xander’s fight.
