WWE will have some star power on hand when Zuffa Boxing heads to London this September, with AJ Styles and LA Knight confirmed to appear at the event.
WWE UK announced that Styles and Knight will be part of Zuffa Boxing 11, which is scheduled to take place at the Copper Box Arena in Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.
The two WWE stars are being promoted as part of a special VIP experience surrounding the event, with WWE UK encouraging fans to secure tickets through an exclusive presale.
“WWE Superstar, L.A. Knight and WWE Hall of Famer, AJ Styles will be at Zuffa Boxing 11 in London! Get tickets NOW for the VIP experience through our exclusive presale!”
The appearance gives WWE fans in the UK another opportunity to see two of the company's biggest names outside of a traditional wrestling setting.
Craig Richards (20-4-1) vs. Radivoje Kalajdzic (30-3), 175 pounds, 10 three-minute rounds
Lee Cutler (16-2) vs. Louis Greene (19-4), 160 pounds, 10 three-minute rounds
Richards will be looking to use his fight against Kalajdzic as another step towards earning a potential world title opportunity.
Speaking to Sky Sports about the matchup, Richards said:
“It’s a very exciting fight. Everyone knows Kalajdzic can punch, I can punch, we’ve both been two fighters who haven’t shied away from competition. We’ve been in with everyone, we’ve mixed it, we both probably want to push on now towards that world title and I feel like it’s a great opportunity.”
With Styles and Knight now confirmed for the VIP experience, Zuffa Boxing 11 will have an additional WWE presence as the promotion brings its September event to London.
