Starting in 2026, they are bringing boxing to the world with a major deal. The company was formed in March by TKO and Sela, and brought about the much-awaited step into the boxing world that fans had been waiting for and that Dana White had spoken about for years.

Turki Alalshikh has been a major player in recent years and is also the one responsible for bringing about several major deals for Saudi Arabia. Earlier this year, WWE announced a huge deal as well, as they are bringing WrestleMania 43 to Saudi Arabia. Now, the announcement stated that Zuffa Boxing, which is led by Dana White, Turki Alakshikh, Nick Khan, and Dr. Rakan Alharthy, has signed a deal with Paramount.

Paramount Plus will be distributing the company's events from January 2026, with 12 cards in the beginning, and plans to grow that in future years as well.
