Overview
- Zuffa Boxing announced a long-term promotional deal with featherweight southpaw Dylan Eagleson and confirmed he will make his professional debut in a six-round bout at Dublin’s 3Arena on August 8.
- Eagleson said he is “buzzing” to join Zuffa and credited backing from Dana White and Sky Sports as key to his plan to progress from top amateur into a pro title contender.
- Zuffa has scheduled two US cards on its summer slate — a Las Vegas show on June 28 and a New York card on July 26 — with all three events to be shown live and exclusively on Sky Sports in the UK and Ireland.
- The Las Vegas card will feature a confirmed 10-round rematch between Edwin De Los Santos and Jose ‘Rayo’ Valenzuela, while the Dublin card will include a middleweight doubleheader headlined by Aaron McKenna vs Etinosa Oliha.
- Eagleson, 23 and from Bangor, Northern Ireland, arrives with a decade of amateur success including multiple Irish titles and 2022 Commonwealth Games gold, a record that underpins high regional expectations for his professional pathway.
