For decades, if you wanted to make it big in boxing, there were two places you had to be—the United States or the United Kingdom. The bright lights of Las Vegas, the electric atmosphere of Madison Square Garden, the packed stadiums of London—this was where the sport’s biggest fights happened, where careers were made, and where the money flowed.

Once upon a time, boxing was America’s game. The US held the keys to the kingdom, dominating world champions, fight nights, and pay-per-view numbers. But as we sit in 2025, the global landscape of professional boxing has shifted dramatically. A sport once ruled by American icons is now showcasing its international flair, with fighters from Europe, Asia, and beyond claiming titles across weight classes.
