March bows out with a bang this weekend with three top-quality shows from across the globe. Mikaela Mayer and Sandy Ryan renew their rivalry in a highly anticipated rematch in Las Vegas, while the hard-hitting William Zepeda looks to make it two wins from two against former world champion Tevin Farmer on home soil in Cancún. But first, Olympian Pat Brown makes his professional debut in Manchester, and that’s the card we’ll be taking a look at first.

Let’s get straight to the point—boxing is a global sport with heroes hailing from every corner of the planet. Yet, the most prestigious honor in the sport, induction into the International Boxing Hall of Fame, is overwhelmingly US-centric. Sure, the Hall of Fame in Canastota, New York, has celebrated some of the sport’s international greats, but the fact remains: many fighters from outside the US are often overlooked.

Let’s pull no punches—women’s boxing has exploded over the past decade. From Katie Taylor’s historic rise to Claressa Shields’ undeniable dominance, female fighters are finally getting their due. But here’s the glaring omission: where are the women coaching these champions? For all the progress inside the ring, it seems the coaching corner remains stuck in the past. Female coaches are still rarer than a fair scorecard in a hometown decision, and it begs the question—why?

British boxing is in arguably the best place it’s been in in a very long time and with 2025 now upon is, it looks set to be an incredible year both domestically and globally for some of our biggest stars. In this article though, we’ve taken a look at the next-gen and picked out seven fighters who could well become stars over the next 12 months and put themselves in position for at least domestic honours come the end of the year. 

Women’s boxing has been on a relentless journey, from near invisibility to a global force in combat sports. Today, with trailblazers like Katie Taylor, Claressa Shields, Natasha Jonas, and Chantelle Cameron leading the charge, the sport is gaining recognition, headlines, and fan excitement. But the question remains: Is women’s boxing truly getting the respect it deserves, or are female fighters still fighting for relevance in a sport long dominated by men?

What a weekend of boxing we’ve just had! To sum it up, it was very much a case of the good, the bad, and the ugly across two massive cards in Texas and Riyadh.

It’s Sunday, and with Monday looming, the last thing anyone needs is more negativity—so let’s kick off with the positives.

Savannah Marshall dethroned Franchon Crews-Dezurn to crown herself the undisputed super-middleweight champion, underpinning her legacy as one of female boxing’s greats.

After a week away from the screens, British boxing returns as Matchroom and Boxxer open up July’s schedule.
