Zuffa Boxing returns on Sunday night live from the Meta Apex in Las Vegas, NV, where they will crown the first-ever Zuffa Boxing champion on Paramount+.
IBF and Ring Magazine cruiserweight champion Jai Opetaia (29-0, 23 KOs) will defend his title against Brandon Glanton (21-3, 18 KOs) in a bout that will determine the new Zuffa Boxing cruiserweight champion. This will be Opetaia’s first fight in 2026 after fighting three times last year. Although most of those fights weren’t widely seen due to their unique showtimes, Opetaia will fight live on a platform that is more accessible to a prime-time audience. Glanton went 1-1 last year, with his last fight being a TKO victory over Marcus Browne in October. The current betting odds favor Opetaia as a 30-1 favorite, but as we’ve seen in boxing for years, you just never know— that’s why they fight.
