Ajagba Led an All-Stoppage Main Card at Zuffa Boxing 03
Efe Ajagba stopped Charles Martin in the fourth round of the Zuffa Boxing 03 main event on February 15, 2026, at the Meta APEX in Las Vegas. The heavyweight finish capped a main card in which every bout ended inside the distance.
The matchup and early action
Ajagba faced a former IBF heavyweight champion in his first appearance for the promotion. The scheduled ten-round contest offered the Nigerian an opportunity to secure a meaningful result after his draw with Martin Bakole.
A knockdown late in round three shifted the main event decisively. Martin reached the interval, but Ajagba dropped him again during the fourth and forced referee Thomas Taylor to intervene at 1:11.
The decisive developments
Umar Dzambekov supplied the light heavyweight co-main event’s finish. His uppercut knocked out Ahmed Elbiali at 0:57 of the second round, preserving the winner’s unbeaten record.
Jaybrio Pe Benito stopped Abel Mejia at 0:48 of round three. The lightweight pairing had matched unbeaten boxers, leaving Mejia with his first professional defeat.
What the result meant
On the preliminaries, Leo Ruiz, Emiliano Alvarado and Dariial Kuchmenov each recorded fourth-round stoppages. Mark Beuke defeated Antonio Woods by split decision, while Oswaldo Molina outpointed Joshua Clark unanimously.
The mix of decisions underneath and finishes at the top gave the eight-fight show a dramatic conclusion. Ajagba’s successful debut provided the heavyweight centerpiece, while Dzambekov and Pe Benito contributed their own emphatic results.
