Zuffa Boxing is set to stage its fifth event on Sunday April 5, 2026 (Easter Sunday) inside Meta Apex in Las Vegas, Nevada and will feature a Lightweight fight between surging contenders Andres Cortes and Eridson Garcia.
Cortes is undefeated at 24-0 with 13 knockouts to boast of. The 28 year-old used to be promoted by Top Rank Boxing before making the switch over to Zuffa. He usually fights in the Junior Lightweight division (130 lbs), but Zuffa does not recognize those divisions so the bout will take place at Lightweight (135 lbs). Cortes is currently ranked No. 10 by The Ring No. 5 by WBC and No. 4 by WBO at 130 pounds.
As for Garcia, he is 23-1 with just one knockout, though he is still as skilled as they come. The 31 year-old Dominican boxer is currently on a six-fight win streak and aims to become the first person to defeat Cortes in order to elevate his won stock for bigger fights moving forward.
In the co-main event, former WBC Featherweight title holder Mark Magsayo will face off against Feargal McCrory in another Lightweight bout. Opening up the three-fight main card will be a Featherweight bout between Azat Hovhannisyan (22-6) Eduardo Baez (25-7-2).
