AJ Styles, LA Knight Set for Zuffa Boxing 11 in London

WWE is sending some star power across the pond this fall, with AJ Styles and LA Knight confirmed to appear at Zuffa Boxing 11 in London this September.

WWE UK announced the pairing will be part of the card at Copper Box Arena in Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, with both Styles and Knight tied into a VIP experience built around the boxing event. Fans looking to attend are being pointed toward an exclusive presale for that upgraded ticket package.

The boxing card itself features a pair of notable bouts. Craig Richards (20-4-1) squares off with Radivoje Kalajdzic (30-3) at 175 pounds over 10 three-minute rounds, while Lee Cutler (16-2) takes on Louis Greene (19-4) at 160 pounds in a bout of the same length. Richards, speaking to Sky Sports about the matchup, framed the fight as a meaningful step toward a world title shot, noting that both he and Kalajdzic have reputations as punchers who don’t duck competition and are now angling to push toward that next level.

For WWE, this marks another example of the company using its biggest names to cross over into adjacent combat sports spaces, particularly in international markets where crossover appearances double as goodwill tours. Styles and Knight both carry strong followings in the UK, and pairing them with a boxing card gives WWE a built-in audience to tap into outside the usual arena-tour format. It also fits a pattern WWE has leaned into over the past few years — sending recognizable stars to mainstream sporting events, red carpets, and now boxing cards, to keep the brand visible well beyond weekly programming.

Neither Styles nor Knight is expected to compete in the ring at the event; their involvement appears centered on the fan-facing VIP experience rather than any in-ring or on-air role tied to the boxing itself. Still, having two established WWE performers attached gives Zuffa Boxing 11 a notable promotional boost as it builds toward September in London.

Expect more detail on exactly what the VIP experience entails — meet-and-greets, photo opportunities, or ringside access — as the show gets closer and WWE UK continues pushing ticket sales. For now, the confirmation alone signals that WWE sees value in keeping its top stars visible across the UK combat sports scene, even when the action in the ring belongs to someone else.
