After four years, Edwin De Los Santos and Jose Valenzuela run it back at Zuffa Boxing 08.
Zuffa Boxing returns with its eighth event on Sunday, June 28, 2026, and this one carries unfinished business written all over it.
The promotion heads to The Chelsea at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas for the first time — stepping outside the Meta Apex that has hosted its previous Las Vegas events, and it does so with a headliner that needs no further selling.
Edwin De Los Santos and Jose “Rayo” Valenzuela first crossed paths in September 2022 on the undercard of Andy Ruiz Jr. vs Luis Ortiz in Los Angeles. De Los Santos accepted the fight on a day’s notice as a replacement, yet still managed to drop Valenzuela twice and stop him in the third round.
Now, nearly four years later, both men have signed with Zuffa Boxing and will settle the score in front of a Las Vegas crowd.
The card is stacked well beyond the main event. Omar Trinidad puts his unbeaten record against former IBF junior bantamweight champion Jerwin Ancajas in the co-feature, while Sacramento’s “Sugar” Cain Sandoval collides with undefeated Southern California standout Brandun Lee in a mouth-watering super lightweight contest that opens the main card.
A five-fight preliminary card rounds out a full night of action. The prelims begin at 5:00 p.m. ET / 2:00 p.m. PT, with the main card set to kick off at 8:00 p.m. ET / 5:00 p.m. PT.
The entire event streams live on Paramount+ in the US, Latin America, Brazil, and Canada, and on Sky Sports in the United Kingdom and Ireland.
