In a notable upset at Zuffa Boxing 5, held at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas, lightweight boxer Robert Meriwether III has sustained the first professional loss of his career. Meriwether, who had previously made headlines for publicly declaring his exclusive focus on securing The Ring and Zuffa titles while openly disregarding the WBC, WBA, WBO, and IBF championships, was defeated by Tony Hirsch Jr. via majority decision. This outcome marks a significant turning point for Meriwether, dropping his previously unblemished record to 10-1.
