NEW YORK — Two new big signings for Zuffa Boxing are set for their promotional debut on Sunday night. Edgar Berlanga and Richardson Hitchins are set to feature in separate fights inside the Infosys Theater at Madison Square Garden as part of Zuffa Boxing 09.
Berlanga will take on Steven Butler in the main event while Hitchins will face Ricardo Salas.
Berlanga is looking for a career reset. After losing a wide decision to Canelo Alvarez in September 2024 for the unified super middleweight titles, the Brooklyn native then followed it up with a brutal KO loss to Hamzah Sheeraz last July. Now, he believes he’s figured some things out in his game and is looking to show off his complete skillset in the ring against Butler.

Hitchins, meanwhile, currently holds the IBF junior welterweight title, but plans to vacate in his move up to 147 pounds with Zuffa.
