Zuffa Boxing Linked With 3 Signings, But May Get Knocked Back by ...
Edgar Berlanga, Shakur Stevenson, and Richardson Hitchins have all been linked with a move to Dana White's fight firm Zuffa Boxing.
boxing-social.comHere’s what’s known publicly about Zuffa Boxing ownership as of now.
-
Zuffa Boxing is a venture led by UFC promoter Dana White and Turki Al-Sheikh, operating as a joint venture between Sela and TKO Group Holdings (TKO), with the company based in Las Vegas. This arrangement connects to TKO, the umbrella owner after Endeavor’s 2023 merger with WWE, and positions Zuffa Boxing as a separate promotion under that umbrella.
-
In 2023, UFC and Zuffa’s corporate structure shifted under the new TKO Group Holdings, which is majority-owned by Endeavor. Zuffa, LLC remains the IP holder for UFC events and trademarks within that framework. This is the corporate layer that ultimately oversees Zuffa Boxing as a newer venture.
-
Reports in late 2025 and early 2026 describe Zuffa Boxing as a sanctioned brand with media deals being pursued (e.g., streaming and rights discussions with Paramount platforms). These reports reflect ongoing ownership and rights activity under the TKO/Endeavor umbrella rather than a standalone, independently owned entity.
-
Some outlets have framed Zuffa Boxing as Dana White’s new promotion backed by Turki Al-Sheikh, implying joint leadership and ownership under the described partnerships, rather than a single private owner. This aligns with the public description of a joint venture between Sela and TKO/Endeavor-backed entities.
