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. 

With just over two months left in 2024 and boxing booming as Riyadh Season kicks into gear, we’re on the cusp of a massive conclusion to what has been an incredible year for the sport. We’ve selected seven fights—some you’ll definitely know about and others you might not—worth watching before the year ends.

London, UK — Conor Benn, the British welterweight boxer, has weighed in on the hotly debated Bivol-Beterbiev fight, while also discussing his much-anticipated bout against Chris Eubank Jr. In an interview with IFL TV, Benn offered his analysis of the recent match between Dmitry Bivol and Artur Beterbiev and reflected on the legacy he’s continuing with the Benn vs. Eubank rivalry.

One of the biggest demands in boxing for some time now has been for officials—whether referees or judges—to explain their scorecards after each fight.

Amidst the drama of Saturday night in Riyadh, one of the major talking points from the Kingdom Arena was the controversial draw between Olympic silver medalist Ben Whittaker and former Commonwealth middleweight champion Liam Cameron.

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.

Ever since Rio 2016 when professional boxers were allowed to compete in the Olympics for the first time, question marks have constantly surrounded the decision.

In a week where boxing was one of the most talked about sports in the media for all the wrong reasons, it clawed its reputation back on Saturday night with some thrilling action both in the UK and US.

A perfect night of boxing which, in this day and age, is something of a rarity. However, this Saturday night we get just that with a domestic 50/50 for British and Commonwealth honours in Barnsley, and then what is undoubtedly the card of the year across the pond in Los Angeles.

What a first half of the year it has been in terms of thrilling, intriguing and epic boxing contests, with the likes of Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk, Devin Haney vs Ryan Garcia, Artur Beterbiev vs Callum Smith and Naoya Inoue vs Luis Nery all living up to the pre-fight hype.

If someone had predicted that Matchroom or Queensberry would have ended Saturday night’s 5vs5 card without one winner, many would have laughed.

The week that has had British boxing fans frothing at the mouth is finally here. Five of Frank Warren’s stars from his Queensberry stable take on five of Eddie Hearn’s stars from his Matchroom stable as we FINALLY get to find out who really is the king of boxing in the UK and arguably the world.

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.

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.

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.

To say the weekend’s big bout didn’t go as expected may well be the understatement of the year.

All eyes turn to Saudi Arabia this weekend as the current WBC heavyweight champ Tyson Fury welcomes former UFC heavyweight champ Francis Ngannou into this crazy world we call boxing.
