LAS VEGAS – Fight week for the first-ever Zuffa Boxing event is officially underway with a pre-fight press conference with Dana White.

On Wednesday, White, along with six competitors on the Z01 card, including headliners Callum Walsh and Carlos Ocampo, took questions from the media at the Meta APEX.

White responded to questions about Zuffa's plans for the near future, the Ali Act, UFC fighter crossovers into boxing, and more. Walsh and Ocampo kept things cordial, while undercard welterweights Julian Rodriguez and Cain Sandoval exchanged heated words throughout the press conference.

Z01 takes place Friday, Jan. 23, at Meta APEX, and streams live on Paramount+ beginning at 5:30 p.m. ET (2:30 p.m. PT).
