Ajagba is coming off a majority draw with Martin Bakole in a performance that had many questioning his championship potential. He got off to an early lead over the sluggish Congolese, only to find himself in survival mode late in the fight.<\/p>\n
Martin also makes his Zuffa Boxing debut, which will end a 15-month layoff. The 39-year-old has not fought since knocking out Matthew McKinney in November 2024, rebounding from a prior loss to Jared Anderson.<\/p>\n

However, with all four of his losses coming to elite fighters, Martin is still a sturdy test for the unproven Ajagba.<\/p>\n Ajagba will be the only ranked fighter<\/a> by any major governing body competing on the card. However, he is far from the only prospect fans are eager to see competing at the Meta Apex on Sunday.<\/p>\n The rest of the card includes six undefeated fighters, including two facing each other. Jaybrio Pe Benito (6-0, 4 KOs) and Abel Mejia (10-0, 7 KOs) put their records on the line against each other in the first fight of the main card.<\/p>\n Efe Ajagba | Angela Piazza\/Caller-Times \/ USA TODAY NETWORK<\/p>\n Efe Ajagba vs. Charles Martin tale of the tape<\/p>\n Efe Ajagba<\/p>\n Charles Martin<\/p>\n Age<\/p>\n 31<\/p>\n 39<\/p>\n Height<\/p>\n 6’5″<\/p>\n 6’5″<\/p>\n Reach<\/p>\n 80 in<\/p>\n 85 in<\/p>\n Record<\/p>\n 20-1-1<\/p>\n 30-4-1<\/p>\n KOs<\/p>\n 14<\/p>\n 27<\/p>\n Efe Ajagba vs Charles Martin location<\/p>\n Location: Meta Apex in Las Vegas, Nevada, United States<\/p>\n Efe Ajagba vs Charles Martin date<\/p>\n Date: Sunday, February 15<\/p>\n Efe Ajagba vs Charles Martin time<\/p>\n Time: 9 p.m. ET \/ 6 p.m. PT (prelims begin at 6 p.m. ET \/ 3 p.m. PT)<\/p>\n Main event ring walk approximately 11 p.m. ET \/ 8 p.m. PT.<\/p>\n How to watch Efe Ajagba vs. Charles Martin<\/p>\n Stream: Paramount+<\/p>\n Zuffa Boxing 03: Efe Ajagba vs. Charles Martin cardEfe Ajagba vs. Charles Martin, heavyweightUmar Dzambekov vs. Ahmed El Biali, light heavyweightAbel Mejia vs. Jaybrio Pe Benito, lightweightLeo Ruiz vs. Casey Streeter, middleweightAntonio Woods vs. Mark Bueke, middleweightOswaldo Molina vs. Joshua Clark, lightweightEmiliano Alvarado vs. Devin Gantt, super bantamweightDariial Kuchmenov vs. Jorge Lagunas, lightweight<\/p>\n The Latest Boxing News<\/p>\n Ryan Garcia Pinpoints the Mario Barrios Advantage That Will Also Be His Downfall<\/a><\/p>\n Isaac Cruz Camp Responds to Gervonta Davis Challenge<\/a><\/p>\n Rumored Options To Replace Gervonta Davis As WBA Champion<\/a><\/p>\n Ryan Garcia Reveals How a Fight Against Jake Paul Would Play Out<\/a><\/p>\n![\"Efe](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/01khebj8zq6h7w0cz5js.jpg\" "\\"Efe")
