In a thrilling night of boxing set to captivate fans, Meta APEX in Las Vegas will host a high-stakes lightweight showdown on April 5, 2026. The main event features the undefeated Las Vegas native, Andres Cortes, stepping into the ring against the formidable Dominican contender, Eridson Garcia. This 10-round bout promises to be a clash of titans, with both fighters bringing impressive records and a hunger for victory.
Andres Cortes, boasting a pristine record of 24-0, is moving up from super-featherweight to take on Garcia, who holds a record of 23-1. Garcia, making his debut in Zuffa Boxing, is fresh off a split-decision victory in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, and is eager to make a statement in his first appearance at the Meta APEX. The stakes are high for both fighters, as a win could propel them into the spotlight for the inaugural Zuffa Boxing lightweight title.
The co-main event is equally compelling, featuring former featherweight world champion Mark Magsayo, with a record of 28-2, squaring off against Ireland’s Feargal McCrory, who holds a record of 17-1. Both fighters are newcomers to Zuffa Boxing, adding an element of unpredictability to the matchup.
The undercard is packed with exciting bouts, including an 8-round featherweight bout between Alexis De La Cerda and Ervin Fuller III, an 8-round lightweight bout featuring Robert Meriwether III against Tony Hirsch, and an 8-round featherweight bout with Troy Nash taking on Bryan Rodriguez.
Eridson Garcia, despite his doctor’s advice, chose to continue his fighting journey, a decision that has led him to this pivotal moment. Garcia is determined to leave a lasting impression on boxing fans in the United States, and this weekend’s main event against Cortes provides the perfect platform for him to do so.
The event will be broadcast live on Paramount+, offering fans a front-row seat to all the action. From the opening bell to the final round, Zuffa Boxing 05 promises to deliver an unforgettable night of boxing, showcasing the best talent in the lightweight division.
As the fighters prepare to step into the ring, the anticipation is palpable. Cortes and Garcia are set to put on a show that will leave fans on the edge of their seats, eager to see who will emerge victorious in this high-stakes lightweight showdown.
