A new boxing promotion co-founded by UFC CEO Dana White debuts tonight.
Zuffa Boxing, a joint venture between TKO Group Holdings and Saudi Arabian entertainment and hospitality company Sela Sport will use UFC’s promotional model and plans to hold 12 events this year, starting with tonight’s Zuffa Boxing 01.
The main event will feature experienced boxer Carlos Ocampo facing off against rising star Callum Walsh.
In 15 matches over his career, Walsh is undefeated. Ocampo, at 38-3, is a three-time world title challenger who won 26 matches by knockout.
Zuffa Boxing 01: what to know
- Who: Callum Walsh (15-0, 11 KO) vs. Carlos Ocampo (38-3, 26 KO)
- When: Jan. 23, 9 p.m. ET (main card)
- Where: Meta APEX (Las Vegas, Nevada)
- Streaming: Paramount+
In conjunction with UFC’s move to Paramount+, the streamer will be the only place to watch Zuffa Boxing 01.

The preliminary fight card at tonight’s Zuffa Boxing event begins at 6:00 p.m. ET tonight, Jan. 23, while the main event card will start at 9:00 p.m. ET.
How to watch Zuffa Boxing live:
As noted above, Zuffa Boxing is exclusive to Paramount+. However, unlike past UFC-related events, there is no pay-per-view, so all you’ll need is a basic subscription to tune in.
Paramount+ offers two subscription plans, Essential and Premium. The ad-supported Essential plan costs $8.99/month, while the ad-free Premium plan (which comes with Showtime titles and live CBS) costs $13.99/month. Both plans include Zuffa Boxing and UFC live events.
