WBC middleweight world champion Carlos Adames will make his Zuffa Boxing debut against Welshman Gerome Warburton on Saturday, 14 November, in a non-title catchweight bout at 165 pounds (74.8 kg) in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
The 32-year-old Dominican, who holds a 25-1-1 record, has not fought since defending his title against Austin 'Ammo' Williams in March. Warburton, 18-2-2, comes off a decision win over Nathan Heaney in September, where he defended his WBA continental title.
Adames will not put his WBC strap on the line for the Zuffa Boxing event, which marks the promotion's first show in Saudi Arabia. Australian boxer Jason Moloney will also debut for Zuffa against Mexico's Andres Teran in a 10-round bantamweight co-main event.
