The WBC middleweight champion Carlos Adames returns in a 10-round showdown against Welsh southpaw Gerome Warburton, with Jason Moloney vs. Andres Teran and several other bouts completing the Riyadh card.
WBC middleweight champion Carlos Adames will headline RIYADH SEASON ZUFFA BOXING 13 on Saturday, Nov. 14 at The Venue in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, facing Gerome Warburton in a scheduled 10-round main event. The bout is set at a contract weight of 165 pounds.
Adames arrives for his return less than eight months after a title defense against Austin “Ammo” Williams, which marked Adames’ third middleweight title defense. The preview also described Adames as The Ring’s No. 1 ranked middleweight and as unbeaten in his last eight bouts.
Warburton, a 31-year-old from Colwyn Bay, Wales, is coming off renewed momentum in 2026, according to the same release, with back-to-back decision wins over former British middleweight champion Nathan Heaney. Warburton is also described as a former Welsh middleweight champion who has pursued British and Commonwealth honors.
The 10-round bantamweight co-feature will feature Australian former world champion Jason “Mayhem” Moloney making his Zuffa Boxing debut against Mexico’s Andres Teran. The release described Moloney as having won two straight fights in Australia, while Teran previously drew attention at ZUFFA BOXING 08 by stopping Floyd Diaz in the sixth round.
ZUFFA BOXING 13 will also include a 10-round matchup between unbeaten Polish contender Kamil Bednarek and super middleweight Bruno Surace, plus an eight-round lightweights tilt featuring unbeaten Ivan Ortiz against Dariial Kuchmenov, along with additional undercard bouts listed by the promotion.
The card will stream live on Paramount+ in the United States and Canada and air on Sky Sports in the UK and Ireland, with tickets announced as available via WeBook, according to the event release.
