In February 2026, Zuffa Boxing co-founder Dana White announced that the inaugural Zuffa title would be contested between Jai Opetaia and Brandon Glanton on March 8, 2026.[1] Unlike the current major sanctioning bodies WBA, WBC, IBF and WBO, Zuffa Boxing will only recognize 8 of the 17 weight divisions.[2] The design of the belt was unveiled on March 5, 2026.[3] On March 8, 2026, following his win over Glanton, Opetaia would become the inaugural cruiserweight champion.[4]
