Where to watch Zuffa Boxing's first event tonight with Walsh vs. Ocampo leading the fight card
Boxing fans looking for a new home to catch "The Sweet Science" won't need to look too far as Zuffa Boxing is set to broadcast its first fight card tonight on Paramount+.
Headlining the inaugural card will be undefeated junior middleweight Callum Walsh (15-0, 11 KOs) against former world title challenger Carlos Ocampo (38-3, 26 KOs). Ocampo has already faced some of the bigger names in the sport, from Tim Tszyu to Errol Spence Jr. and is expected to test the rising Walsh, who is coming off a September win against Fernando Vargas Jr. on the Terence Crawford-Canelo Alvarez undercard.
But that won't be the only fight on the card worth watching, with unbeaten middleweights Misael Rodriguez and Austin Deanda set to battle, alongside a 130-pound clash between Julian Rodriguez and Cain Sandoval.

What is Zuffa Boxing exactly?
Zuffa Boxing, according to a press release touting the formation of the company last September, "is the new professional boxing promotion formed by TKO and leading entertainment conglomerate Sela, with leadership from UFC President and CEO Dana White; HE Turki Alalshikh, Chairman of the General Entertainment Authority and President of the Saudi Boxing Federation; Sela Managing Director and CEO Dr. Rakan Alharthy; and WWE President and TKO Board Member Nick Khan."
