Boxing Title Picture: Looking at Potential Fights
Dubois vs. Joshua II: The Boxing Title Picture
It appears uncertain if we will ever see this rematch, but Eddie Hearn has mentioned it’s a fight still on the table. Dubois convincingly stopped Joshua in their first fight, scoring multiple knockdowns. “Dynamite” was due to face Joseph Parker before withdrawing due to illness. Dubois-Joshua II would provide plenty of intrigue, with AJ looking for redemption.
Beterbiev vs. Bivol: Light Heavyweight Boxing
Beterbiev and Bivol recently renewed their acquaintance, with Bivol ending the rematch more strongly than he did their first fight, winning by majority decision (114-114, 115-113 and 116-112). This strong ending to the rematch ensured Bivol became the undisputed light heavyweight champion. Could we see a historic trilogy between these two brilliant pugilists?
Bivol vs. Benavidez: A New Challenge
The WBC recently ordered Dmitry Bivol to defend his title against David Benavidez. Bivol would undoubtedly start the fight as the favourite, but Benavidez cannot be ignored, following his impressive win against David Morrell.
Turki Alalshikh was seemingly open to this fight, but he now appears to have backtracked. “I am no longer interested in Bivol-Benavidez and I will not bid on it. I think Bivol knows who has delivered for him and who hasn’t. My advice to Bivol: don’t be late because every day something changes.”
Taylor vs. Serrano III: The Iconic Women’s Boxing Trilogy
Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano are set to continue one of the all-time great rivalries in women’s boxing. Their past two bouts were instant classics, breaking viewing records. The upcoming trilogy fight, scheduled for Madison Square Garden, is not just about settling scores but also about advancing the popularity of women’s boxing to new heights—something both have contributed to greatly.
Fabio Wardley’s World Title Shot Against Pulev
British heavyweight contender Fabio Wardley will face Kubrat Pulev for the WBA regular title. Pulev, a hard-hitting and in-form veteran, has been making waves since his defeat to Joshua, making this a solid matchup. For Wardley, it’s a chance to establish himself on the world stage and secure a spot among the top fighters in the division.
A New Women’s Boxing Era
The women’s boxing world is rewriting the history books, with Olympic gold medalist Lauren Price defeating Natasha Jonas at Royal Albert Hall. This historic bout showed that female boxing has the talent to host huge events.
