Henry Cejudo, one of the most decorated combat sports athletes of all time, will make his professional boxing debut next month.
Cejudo, 39, will face influencer boxer Nurideen Shabazz, aka Deen The Great, on Sept. 26 at James L. Knight Arena in Miami. Misfits Boxing will promote the event, which airs on DAZN in the U.S.
A former U.S. Olympic gold medalist wrestler and two-weight UFC champion, Cejudo retired from MMA in December. He has competed in wrestling twice in 2026, and is scheduled to face Merab Dvalishvili at RAF 12 on Saturday. He has never boxed professionally, but has competed as an amateur.
Deen The Great is a well-known influencer and boxer who first gained notoriety through viral street fight content.
