It’s been another completely bats*it mental week in the world of boxing. From two-weight champions failing drug tests to legends of the sport calling out footballers, it’s really had it all. We’ll be taking a look through the hottest topics of the past week, starting with Ben Whittaker’s impressive win on Saturday night.

In what was set to be Callum Smith’s homecoming against David Morrell Jr, Olympic silver medallist Ben Whittaker will now headline his second show on the bounce against the Argentine, Braian Suárez.

For most fighters, 16 months out of the ring could be detrimental to their career. Not for Tyson Fury, though. The former unified world champion returned to the ring on Saturday night with a dominant display over the dangerous Russian, Arslanbek Makhmudov, in front of 64,500 people at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

All eyes will be on Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this weekend as Tyson Fury makes his highly anticipated return to the ring against Arslanbek Makhmudov, but before that, there’s a stacked undercard featuring one of the biggest names in world boxing, along with two cracking heavyweight 50/50s.

The Gypsy King Tyson Fury returns to the ring for the first time in over a year this Saturday night as he heads back to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium to face the dangerous, hard-hitting Russian, Arslanbek Makhmudov.

Two of the most entertaining and outspoken heavyweights of the 21st century put it all on the line this Saturday night as Derek Chisora and Deontay Wilder throw down in what will be the 50th fights of their respective careers.

Patrick James Brown… Quite comfortably, at the moment, one of the biggest prospects not just in British boxing but in world boxing, and this Friday night he returns to action against the tough, rugged, well-travelled Czech, Vasil Ducar, on home soil in Manchester.

The Magnificent 7 is back this weekend as the future of the heavyweight division, Moses Itauma, looks to make a huge statement against Jermaine Franklin, with a stacked undercard before it.

It’s approaching the two-year anniversary of the first-ever Matchroom vs Queensberry 5vs5 and, with talk currently extremely quiet about a second fight card between the pair, we’ve taken a look at some fights that could feature on a card this year if Frank and Eddie decide to run it back.

Big-time boxing returns to Dublin this weekend as the loveable Jazza Dickens makes the first defence of his WBA World Super-Featherweight Title against the always game Anto Cacace.

One of the most outspoken, controversial yet most talented figures in the world of boxing returns to the ring this weekend as Ryan Garcia faces off with WBC World Welterweight champion Mario Barrios in Las Vegas.

The last time Leigh Wood and Josh Warrington landed blows on each other. I know what you’re thinking — it very much feels like yesterday and not nearly 900 days ago.

The first month of the year is out of the way and what a first month of the year it was for boxing.  From Amanda Serrano getting back to winning ways against Reina Tellez to Nikita Tszyu’s highly anticipated clash with Michael Zerafa ending in a no-decision to Shakur Stevenson putting on a 12-round masterclass to defeat Teofimo Lopez, it’s a month that really had it all. 

The world title action continues this weekend with not one, not two, not three, not four, but FIVE world title fights across two cards. Shakur Stevenson and Teofimo Lopez go toe-to-toe in a battle of the New Yorkers, whilst former Olympian Josh Kelly looks to become world champion at the first attempt against the hard-hitting Bakhram Murtazaliev — and that’s where we will start.

Las Vegas…Famous for its bright lights, casinos, nightlife and, most of all, its combat sports, this weekend sees three HUGE shows take place all within a 10-mile radius of each other in this incredible city.

2025 has certainly delivered inside and outside of the ring in this crazy world of boxing.  From two Eubank and Benn clashes selling out stadiums in the UK to two of the best P4P stars of this generation if not EVER, lighting up Las Vegas in Terence Crawford vs Canelo Alvarez, it’s safe to say, the boxing hardcore have been spoilt. 

Prince Naseem Hamed, Johnny Nelson, Kell Brook, Junior Witter, Clinton Woods, Kid Galahad and Paul Jones… The Steel City of Sheffield is known for creating world champions and on Saturday night, the exciting undefeated super-lightweight sensation Dalton Smith could add his name to that illustrious list when he faces off with Puerto Rico’s WBC world champion Subriel Matias in New York.

When it comes to broadcasting in boxing, a majority of the big players globally have had a crack at it. From HBO to Sky Sports to ESPN to ITV, they’ve all, at some point, dipped their toe into the water. But in recent times, it’s been the new kids on the block taking over. With ESPN not renewing their deal with Top Rank and Sky Sports not renewing their deal with Boxxer, DAZN and Netflix have quickly stepped forward as the two big players in boxing broadcasting.

When Jake Paul first stepped foot into this bonkers world of boxing, many laughed at him. A YouTuber—better known for being on the Disney Channel—with no previous experience inside the ring, turning his hand to boxing.

If you’d told us back in 2016 that in just over nine years’ time we’d be writing a preview about the newly crowned IBF World Heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua facing Disney star Jake Paul in a legitimate boxing fight, we’d probably have cried tears of laughter — hysterically.
