Efe Ajagba Stops Charles Martin in Round 4 at Zuffa Boxing 03

The stoppage strengthens Ajagba’s case in Zuffa’s developing heavyweight title picture.

Overview

  • Ajagba scored two knockdowns off right hands and forced a referee stoppage at 1:11 of Round 4 in the Las Vegas main event.
  • The victory improved the Nigerian heavyweight’s record to 21-1-1 against Martin, a former IBF titleholder returning from a lengthy layoff.
  • Zuffa Boxing 03 took place Feb. 15 at the Meta Apex in Las Vegas and streamed on Paramount+.
  • All but two bouts ended inside the distance, including Umar Dzambekov’s second-round KO of Ahmed Elbiali and Jaybrio Pe Benito’s third-round TKO of Abel Mejia.
  • The result is widely framed as a statement win that moves Ajagba closer to contention as Zuffa finalizes its early title plans.
