Boxing is booming already in 2025, and the year is barely a couple of weeks old. With superfights such as Eubank Jr vs Benn and Garcia vs Haney both pretty much announced, we’ve picked out five weight classes that could host some of the biggest and most exciting bouts over the next 12 months. Where better to start than with the big boys?

We were treated to the good, the bad AND the ugly on Saturday night as Johnny Fisher claimed the biggest victory of his career so far, whilst Shakur Stevenson staked his claim as the best lightweight on the planet over in the States.

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.

Boxing continues its streak of back-to-back weeks of world title action this weekend as Regis Prograis defends his WBC World Super-Lightweight Title against Danielito Zorrilla in New Orleans, whilst Tim Tszyu looks to assert himself as the number one contender in the light-middleweight division when he takes on Carlos Ocampo in Australia.

From New Jersey to San Antonio, and then onto California, it was very much a night of statements from east to west of the United States.

UK fans will have to look across the pond for this weekend’s boxing fix as Shakur Stevenson and Bam Rodriguez take their respective centre stages.
