Callum Walsh vs Carlos Ocampo: Match card, start time, where to watch & more
Dana White presents Zuffa Boxing to fans worldwide.
Boxing is rarely introduced with restraint, but Zuffa Boxing Z01 is deliberately taking a different route. Rather than relying on excess, the promotion is debuting with a tightly structured card, a controlled environment, and a single broadcast destination, an approach aimed at showcasing what a modern, presentation-first boxing product can look like when focus outweighs spectacle.
The inaugural event takes place on Friday, January 23, 2026, streaming exclusively on Paramount+ from the UFC Apex. This marks the first official boxing card under the Zuffa Boxing banner, spearheaded by Dana White, and strategically scheduled during UFC 324 fight week to maximize crossover attention.
The main event features undefeated Irish standout Callum Walsh taking on durable Mexican veteran Carlos Ocampo in a 10-round middleweight bout. The co-feature pits Olympic bronze medalist Misael Rodriguez against Austin Deanda, while Julian Rodriguez faces Cain Sandoval in a welterweight opener.
The prelims add further depth, including Omar Trinidad vs Max Ornelas, Floyd Diaz vs Guillermo Gutierrez, and several developing prospects. With a compact but competitive lineup, Zuffa Boxing Z01 aims to make a strong first impression through execution, not excess.
