Adames Returns Against Warburton
Adames enters with a 25-1-1 record and 18 knockouts, returning less than eight months after beating Austin Williams in his third title defence. The Dominican fighter is unbeaten in his last eight contests.
Warburton has earned this opportunity through two wins over Nathan Heaney in 2026. Those consecutive decision victories over the former British middleweight champion revived the Welshman’s career and brought him into a headline contest against Adames.
The Colwyn Bay southpaw carries an 18-2-2 record with two knockouts. A former Welsh middleweight champion, Warburton has also challenged for British and Commonwealth titles.
This contest takes place above the middleweight championship limit, with both fighters contracted to 165lbs (74.8kg).
Jason Moloney vs Andres Teran Co-Main Event
Moloney makes his Zuffa Boxing debut against an opponent coming off a notable stoppage victory.
The Australian brings a 29-4 record with 20 knockouts into the ten-round bantamweight contest. Two consecutive wins in Australia have kept the former champion pushing towards another title opportunity.
Teran arrives at 19-2 with 14 knockouts. In June, the Mexican stopped previously unbeaten Floyd Diaz in the sixth round at Zuffa Boxing 08.

Surace, Butaev and Unbeaten Prospects Feature in Riyadh
Bruno Surace faces unbeaten Polish contender Kamil Bednarek two fights after his knockout victory over Jaime Munguia. Bednarek has stopped ten of his 17 opponents and puts his perfect record on the line over ten rounds.
Another unbeaten pairing matches Ivan Ortiz with Dariial Kuchmenov. Ortiz beat previously undefeated Justin Viloria last time out, while Kuchmenov recorded his fifth consecutive knockout by stopping Jorge Lagunas in four rounds.
Radzhab Butaev seeks a return to winning form against Colombia’s Alexander Castro. Both men have registered 12 stoppages ahead of their ten-round middleweight meeting.
Uzbek prospects Jakhongir Zokirov and Tullo Boymatov also return after winning their Zuffa debuts inside the distance. Zokirov stopped Zachary Spiller in two rounds, while Boymatov dispatched Caleb Hall in 2:42 in May.
Warburton’s two decision wins look solid on paper, but Adames is the sharper puncher and smoother mover. If Warburton tries to march him down, Adames slips the feet, counters clean, and drags him into deep rounds. Prediction: Adames by decision, with a potential late knockdown if the pace wobbles.
Adames steps to the center with 165-pound gravity and a veteran southpaw swagger, Warburton answering with Welsh grit. If Adames sticks the jab, cuts off the ring, and keeps the body work steady, I’m predicting a late stoppage or at least a clear decision in the Dominican’s favor, provided the corner keeps him sharp.
