Zuffa Boxing is moving fast in its opening stretch.
The promotion is lining up a second event for February 1, 2026, with plans to stage the card at the Las Vegas Apex, according to reporting from Dan Rafael. The show would follow Zuffa Boxing’s debut event on January 23, putting two cards on the calendar within a short window.
The February 1 event is expected to feature three scheduled 10-round fights built around experienced names. No titles are involved. The structure points toward familiarity and repeatable production rather than headline stakes.
Former WBA junior welterweight champion Jose Rayo Valenzuela is set to face Diego Torres. Valenzuela lost his 140-pound title to Gary Antuanne Russell by unanimous decision in March 2025. Before that defeat, he posted back-to-back wins over Isaac Cruz and Chris Colbert, keeping his profile intact.
Another bout pairs Serhii Bohachuk with Radzhab Butaev. The third fight on the card is expected to match former WBC light heavyweight champion Oleksandr Gvozdyk against Radivoje Kalajdzic.
Gvozdyk returned to action last April with a win over Anthony Holloway. That bout followed his 2024 decision loss to David Benavidez, a fight in which he stayed active late after slowing earlier. The matchup with Kalajdzic fits a familiar veteran lane and carries limited risk.
Two shows inside the promotion’s opening days suggest intent to establish consistency early. The reliance on the Apex and known fighters keeps variables low while the schedule takes shape. It reads like a controlled start that values repetition over attention.
