Brandun Lee returns on Sunday

Brandun Lee has arrived In Las Vegas for Suday's Zuffa Boxing 08 armed with a perfect record of 30-0 and 23 knockouts to his name. The 27 year-old California native is in his tenth year as a pro, and he feels that Saturday’s showcase represents the perfect opportunity to finally put himself in the championship conversation at 147 pounds. The perennial prospect has only fought twice in the last three years due to promotional difficulties. He hopes Zuffa will end his inactivity issues, and Sunday's fight against "Sugar" Cain Sandoval will be his first test. After Sandoval's Zuffa Boxing debut didn’t go his way, the Californian is back, and hoping to put things right. The 23 year-old (17-1, 15 KOs) was defeated for the first time in his career when he was outpointed by Julian “Hammer Hands” Rodriguez at Zuffa Boxing 01 in January. Now, after taking some time to make some adjustments in the gym, Sandoval is ready to make his return in a bid to get back to winning ways.
 
Also on Sunday's Zuffa show, a little-known heavyweight propsect will fight in the preliminary portion of the show as Uzbekistan’s six-foot-eight Jakhongir Zokirov takes on American Zach Spiller. The two southpaws will go toe to toe as they look to build valuable experience in the Zuffa Boxing heavyweight division. Zokirov, 23, is 3-0 as a pro (including IBA pro fights), including a win over Agron Smakici. Now the Uzbek heavyweight, who trains out of the Brickhouse Boxing gym in Hollywood, California, will look to make a name for himself in the United States when he faces Spiller, who enters the bout with a 5-0 (4 KOs) record.
