Zuffa Boxing first fight card announced at UFC APEX, airing on Paramount+

Zuffa Boxing is gearing up for its debut event on January 23 at the UFC APEX in Las Vegas. The promotion, a collaboration between Zuffa Boxing and TKO Group Holdings (parent company to the UFC) with funding from Saudi Arabia, has been approved by the Nevada Athletic Commission. The event is set to air on Paramount+, following in the footsteps of a similar deal made by the UFC.

While the details of the card and the fighters involved have not been officially confirmed by Zuffa Boxing, TKO president and COO Mark Shapiro has hinted at the upcoming launch. The promotion is being overseen by UFC CEO Dana White and WWE president Nick Khan, with financial support from Saudi Arabia.

Zuffa Boxing has been in talks with various athletes about potential fights, although no fighters have been signed to the roster yet. This exciting development comes at a time when Congress is considering the Muhammad Ali American Boxing Revival Act, which could pave the way for UFC-style promotion in boxing through Unified Boxing Organizations.

With the event just around the corner on January 23, fans can expect to hear announcements about the fights soon. Stay tuned for more updates as Zuffa Boxing prepares to make its mark in the world of combat sports.
