Joe Tessitore to lead the play-by-play for Zuffa Boxing starting tonight

Smackdown commentator Joe Tessitore has been named part of the Zuffa Boxing broadcast team.

Zuffa Boxing, a joint venture between Saudi Arabia’s Sela Sport and TKO Group Holdings, will hold its first numbered event tonight live from the Meta Apex in Las Vegas and will be broadcast live exclusively on Paramount+.

Tessitore will be the lead play-by-play for the event along with fight analysts Max Kellerman, Andre Ward, Antonio Tarver, Mike Coppinger, Skipper Kelp, contributor Mark Kriegel, host Molly Qerim, reporter Heidi Androl, and ring announcer Joe Martinez.

He already does commentary for college football so this is the third sport he will be diving into.

With Tessitore doing work for Zuffa Boxing tonight, he will have to be replaced by someone else for Smackdown, at least when the shows go head-to-head like tonight.
