2025 is just around the corner and despite not the greatest of years for British world champions, a record of 4-8-1 in world title fights for Britain’s men to be specific, next year looks set to be one of the best in recent years with some enticing match-ups in the works both globally and domestically for Britain’s elite. 

There’s an old saying that success has a thousand fathers, but failure is an orphan. In the case of Anthony Joshua, it seems many have forgotten the countless times he lifted British boxing to new heights, the moments when his triumphs were our triumphs, when his battles became national events, uniting millions. Yet today, after a handful of defeats, whispers of doubt and disrespect creep in from those who once cheered his name. It's time we remember why Anthony Joshua deserves our respect—why, despite the recent setbacks, the man known simply as "AJ" is a legend in his own right.

Daniel Dubois claimed one of the year's biggest victories last Saturday as he powered through the former two-time heavyweight world champion Anthony Joshua in front of a record-breaking crowd of 98,000 at Wembley Stadium.

We’re just hours away from an enthralling all-British heavyweight world title clash at Wembley Stadium as Daniel Dubois makes the first defence of his IBF World Heavyweight Title against former unified champion of the world Anthony Joshua.

It’s back. Big-time boxing returns to Wembley Stadium this September as the newly crowned IBF world heavyweight champion Daniel Dubois takes on the former two-time unified champion Anthony Joshua on an action-packed card in the capital.

If there was one thing we were reminded of the weekend before last, it was that big British fights are like no other. With that in mind, let’s take a look at the three best domestic world title fights we could potentially see in 2024.

Anthony Joshua became the first man to nail Francis Ngannou to the canvas, dispatching the former UFC world champion inside a frantic two rounds in Riyadh with Tyson Fury watching on from ringside.

All eyes will be on Saudi Arabia this weekend as Anthony Joshua takes on Francis Ngannou in one of the biggest crossover fights in history.

It is crazy that we are actually here though. Sure, Ngannou’s name had been flirted with in the past for Joshua, but never did anyone believe that if the pair were to meet, the ex-UFC world champion would be coming in as some sort of elite heavyweight gauge.

He may be only 5ft2, but Nick Ball has been making a big impression on the world of boxing in the past couple of years and this Saturday, he gets his shot at becoming world champion against Mexico’s Rey Vargas.

Whilst all eyes are on Anthony Joshua, and understandably so, there are four other Brits who are raring to go in Riyadh, as the biggest night of their careers draws ever closer.

Zhilei Zhang and Joseph Parker are a blend of heavyweight that should well deliver us a first-rate fight. So, with the pair colliding just a few days from now, let’s talk.

It’s fair to say that 2023 was a year like no other as boxing delivered dazzling drama, hit both the front and back pages, and crowned six undisputed champions.

Opening the show in Saudi this weekend are four of the biggest contenders in the heavyweight division who are yet to suffer defeat in the paid ranks.

A fight which very much came out of the blue, Britain’s Daniel Dubois takes on Brooklyn’s Jarrell Miller in a heavyweight clash that cannot disappoint.

Ring Magazine champion Jai Opetaia faces his second undefeated Brit in a row this Saturday when he takes on the exciting Ellis Zorro.

Dmitry Bivol makes defence number 10 of his WBA light-heavyweight world crown this Saturday as he takes on IBO champion Lyndon Arthur.

Anthony Joshua is days away from a battle that will shape his 2024, as he eyes both a mega fight with Deontay Wilder, and the opportunity to become 3x world champion.

Deontay Wilder and Joseph Parker are both primed and ready to fly into an intriguing battle of two very contrasting styles.

Katie Taylor and David Benavidez were the weekend’s winners as one set of undisputed titles changed hands, whilst another became locked in the latest crosshairs.
