Zuffa Boxing is leaving its home base for the first time, with two upcoming cards booked at Las Vegas venues outside the Meta APEX where the promotion has staged every event since its January launch.
According to filings approved by the Nevada State Athletic Commission, TKO Group Holdings will promote a boxing card on Sunday, June 28, at The Chelsea inside The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas, followed by a second Sunday show on July 12 at a Las Vegas venue still to be confirmed.
Every Zuffa Boxing event to date has taken place at the 600-seat Meta APEX on the UFC campus. The Chelsea holds roughly 4,000 people and has hosted multiple UFC Fight Nights.
The move aligns with the operating plan TKO outlined to Nevada regulators in January, when UFC VP of Regulatory Affairs Marc Ratner told the commission the promotion intended to run between 12 and 15 boxing events in 2026, with the majority based in Las Vegas.
The July 12 date carries additional significance as it falls inside UFC International Fight Week 2026, which runs July 9 through July 12. UFC.com already lists Zuffa Boxing as part of the IFW programming alongside UFC 329, the Hall of Fame induction ceremony, and Power Slap, putting the boxing arm directly inside TKO’s flagship week in combat sports.
Both cards preserve the Sunday broadcast window Zuffa Boxing has used since its second event, keeping the cards on Paramount+ without conflicting with UFC’s Saturday programming. Paramount holds United States, Canadian, and Latin American streaming rights under a deal worth approximately $100 million annually.
No fights have been announced for either card. Zuffa Boxing typically confirms main events four to six weeks ahead of fight night.
