Zuffa Boxing moves quickly 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 reports from Dan Rafael. The program will follow Zuffa Boxing’s debut event on January 23, putting two cards on the calendar within a short window.
The Feb. 1 event is expected to feature three scheduled 10-round fights built around experienced names. No titles are involved. The structure suggests familiarity and repeatable production rather than main interests.
Former WBA junior welterweight champion Jose Rayo Valenzuela will face Diego Torres. Valenzuela lost his 140-pound title to Gary Antuanne Russell by unanimous decision in March 2025. Before that loss, he had back-to-back wins over Isaac Cruz and Chris Colbert, keeping his profile intact.
Another fight 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 fight followed his 2024 decision loss to David Benavidez, a fight in which he stayed active late after slowing down earlier. The matchup with Kalajdzic fits a familiar veteran track and carries limited risk.
Two performances within the opening days of the promotion suggest there is an intention to establish consistency early on. Relying on the Apex and familiar fighters keeps variables low as the schedule takes shape. It reads like a controlled start that values ​​repetition over attention.
