Zuffa Boxing is back tonight at the Meta Apex for their third event in promotion history. Efe Ajagba battles Charles Martin in a Heavyweight bout in the Main Event of Zuffa Boxing 03. The Zuffa Boxing 03 Main Card begins at 9:00 p.m. ET on Paramount+.
Check out my best bet for the Main Event of Zuffa Boxing 03 between Efe Ajagba vs. Charles Martin.
Ajagba enters this fight with a 20-1-1 record and 14 knockouts, while Martin is 30-4, with 30- 4- 1 and 27 knockouts. In this contest, Ajagba is one inch taller with a five-inch reach advantage (85″ vs. 80″). This is Ajagba’s first fight since May 2025, when his fight with Martin Bakole ended via a majority draw. Before that draw, Ajagba won five consecutive fights from 2022 to 2024. Ajagba’s last win came against Guido Vianello in April 2024. On BoxRec, Ajagba is ranked No. 11 in the Heavyweight division.
Martin is making his return to boxing after 15 months away from the sport. He won his last fight against Matthew McKinney by first-round knockout in November 2024. Martin is 2-2 in his previous four fights, with losses coming to Jared Anderson and Luis Ortiz.
On DraftKings Sportsbook, Ajagba is a -800 favorite while Martin is a +500 underdog in this fight. The over/under is 8.5 rounds, with the under at -125 and the over at -110. Although Ajagba is coming off a draw, he has been the more active fighter recently. Ajagba should be able to use his size advantage to his benefit in this contest. Since Ajagba is such a big favorite, it is best to take the over 8.5 rounds in this contest. That is because six of his last 10 fights have lasted at least eight rounds. His last two fights were 10-rounders, and he hasn’t had a fight end before the ninth round since April 2024.
