Boxer Lee Cutler believes his move to sign with Zuffa Boxing has come at the “perfect time” in his career.
The 30-year-old middleweight from Polo agreed a deal with Dana White in May and then, in Bournemouth, Aaron Sutton made his first UK show at Zuffa.

On Saturday night, Cutler secured his second victory since joining the promotion, scoring a points victory over Louis Greene at London’s Copperbox Arena.
After being sacked in recent years due to laziness, he fought twice again in 2023 under former promoter Boxxer, who was rejected by Ben Shalom.
Having performed twice in the past four months, ‘Chaos’ is delighted to be part of a new company which is set to make its mark on the British fight scene.
“The Zuffa move came for a perfect time for me,” Cutler told BBC Sport.
“They are great for boxing and great for people like me, they give me action and everything I want.

“I haven’t had it in the last two years, which has been very frustrating and lost at times, but now I’m in a great space.
“It’s just for me to get more opportunities and back on the weekend, hopefully I’ll be in some big fights.”
Cutler has won 17 professional fights and suffered only two defeats, the most recent loss coming in 2025 when he was defeated by controversial Sam Eggington.
Suffa joined his partner and best friend Christopher Bill-Smith at Bournemouth earlier this year.
The pair have been drawn in the same showpiece on several occasions in recent years, both in 2023 at AFC Bournemouth’s Vitality Stadium, and several times at the Bournemouth International Centre.

Bill-Smith took the “fighter first” approach that Zuffa provided during the fight week, and Cutler was quick to step up to it.
“I’ve been working with two promotions for years now, and them [Zuffa] they are just, second to none in words, which they themselves saw fighting,’ he added.
“They lay out your meals, your nutrition and they tell you your weights every day, asking them to calculate how you’re rehydrating, it’s crazy how they look at a fighter.
“They treat the A side less well than in the B side – I spoke to Lewis (Greene) and he said that it’s just amazing how they treated him and how all the fighters are acting.”
