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. 

It was a wounding weekend of boxing as both Fabio Wardley and Tim Tszyu lost enough blood to sink a battleship - yet the pair will leave the Easter period in very different spirits.

They don’t come much bigger than in Britain. It might be a postcode, it might be something much more deep-rooted, or it might just be the sheer desire to be number one.

Francis Ngannou was 40/1 to win on points in Saudi Arabia. That is because Francis Ngannou is a mixed martial artist who is used to 5x5 rounds, and hasn’t competed in over two years.

We are just days away from the opening of Riyadh Season 2023, and the fanciful match-up between Tyson Fury and Francis Ngannou.

After an underwhelming couple of days of boxing, it was down to Tim Tszyu and Carlos Ocampo to save the sport from a weekend to forget. Thankfully, Tszyu was in the mood to deliver.
