Zuffa Boxing is set to host its subsequent event rapidly, with a planned schedule for February 1, 2026, taking place in Las Vegas.
As per a dispatch from Dan Rafael, multiple sources have suggested the forthcoming spectacle will unfold at the UFC Apex, showcasing a trio of 10-round encounters designed to highlight veteran combatants instead of championship contests. This February lineup is slated to occur after Zuffa Boxing’s inaugural show, scheduled for January 23.
The roster for February 1 is anticipated to feature:
- Jose Rayo Valenzuela vs. Diego Torres
- Serhii Bohachuk vs. Radzhab Butaev
- Oleksandr Gvozdyk vs. Radivoje Kalajdzic
Valenzuela is scheduled for this fight following a defeat where he forfeited his WBA junior welterweight championship to Gary Antuanne Russell, who secured a unanimous decision victory against him in March 2025. Before this particular loss, Valenzuela had successfully regained his stride through successive victories against Isaac “Pitbull” Cruz and Chris Colbert.
Gvozdyk, who previously held the WBC light heavyweight belt, secured a triumph last April by overcoming Anthony Holloway. This win came after his defeat to David Benavidez in June 2024, an encounter where Gvozdyk completed all rounds and maintained a challenging presence toward the end, notwithstanding his earlier decline.
The preliminary framework for the February event implies that Zuffa Boxing intends to rely on well-known past champions and proven challengers as it expands its calendar, focusing on carefully curated matchups and uniform round durations instead of high-profile championship contests.
