<\/p>\nDana White’s Zuffa Boxing will have its third show on Sunday night as heavyweight contender Efe Ajagba (20-1-1, 14 KOs) takes on Charles Martin (30-4-1, 27 KOs). <\/p>\n
Ajagba is currently the eighth-ranked heavyweight in the world according to Ring Magazine, but there is no Zuffa title on the line for the heavyweights in the 10-round main event. The first Zuffa title will be contested on March 8, when Jai Opetaia takes on Brandon Glanton for the cruiserweight belt. <\/p>\n
The Nigerian heavyweight Ajagba will be looking to return to the win column on Sunday, as he was held to a majority decision in his last bout. Taking on Martin Bakole, their 2025 bout ended in a stalemate after 10 rounds in Saudi Arabia. <\/p>\n
The draw for Ajagba halted a winning streak that stretched back to 2021. Following a points loss to Frank Sanchez, in a bout he was knocked down in, ‘The Silent Roller’ notched up five wins on the bounce. <\/p>\n
The most recent win for Ajagba, 31, came against notable heavyweight Guido Vianello, from Italy. When the heavyweight contenders met in April 2024, Ajagba earned a split-decision win over his tough opponent. <\/p>\n
Now, Ajagba is looking for his first win in just under two years when he takes on Las Vegas local and former world champion Charles Martin. <\/p>\n
With a 90% knockout rate, ‘Prince Charles’ became a world champion in 2016, with a win over Vyacheslav Glazkov. However, just a matter of months later, Anthony Joshua would stop Martin in the second round of their bout in what would be ‘AJ’s’ first world title victory. <\/p>\n
Although Martin has not been able to compete for a world title since losing his crown, he has taken on the likes of the former Deontay Wilder opponent, Luis Ortiz, and Jared Anderson, losing out to both men. <\/p>\n

Opening the three-fight main card will be lightweights Abel Mejia (10-0, 7 KOs) and Jaybrio Pe Benito (6-0, 4 KOs). <\/p>\n
