It’s almost becoming a bit of a British tradition to kick one of our own when they’re down and on Saturday night, the tradition somewhat continued.  A huge favourite, Moses Itauma came up just short in his first world title fight against Filip Hrgovic.  At the age of just 21, he was attempting to become the second-youngest world champion in heavyweight boxing history. 

This Saturday night, history could be made as the undefeated heavyweight sensation Moses Itauma aims to become the second-youngest heavyweight world champion in boxing history when he takes on the experienced Croat Filip Hrgovic for the vacant IBF World Heavyweight Title.

There’s nothing quite like a Saturday double-header and that’s exactly what we get this weekend, with a super-middleweight banger in Leeds for British, Commonwealth and European honours, along with a proper 50/50 between two undefeated fighters for a vacant world title in Dublin.

Big-time boxing returns to Saudi for the first time in 2026 this Saturday night as former unified heavyweight champ Anthony Joshua headlines a 13-fight card against the hard-hitting Albanian Kristian Prenga. 

This weekend sees the return of the Gypsy King himself, Tyson Fury, in familiar but also unfamiliar territory as he takes on the experienced Mariusz Wach in Thailand.

After a cryptic post was shared on social media last week by Oleksandr Usyk’s manager, Sergey Lapin, the boxing world was left guessing about the news that was to come. Would Usyk be fighting his WBC mandatory challenger, Agit Kabayel? Would he be rematching Rico Verhoeven? Could he even be retiring?

One of the best fights in boxing takes place this Saturday at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn as Puerto Rican superstar Xander Zayas puts his undefeated record and his WBA & WBO World Super-Welterweight Titles on the line against the hard-hitting former world welterweight champion Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis in a fight that can only really be described as special.

Finally, after years of back-and-forth between both teams, it’s been confirmed that Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua will fight each other later this year, but with the announcement came no exact date and no confirmed venue.

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.

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.

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.

2026 is quite literally just around the corner, so with the new year pretty much here, we’ve picked out one fight that needs to happen in every single one of the 17 weight divisions in men’s boxing.

One night, three time zones, three world title fights, one hall-of-famer, one soon-to-be hall-of-famer and one future hall-of-famer, this Saturday night really does have it all for boxing fans.

Boxing is a sport that thrives on spectacle. It’s always been about more than just punches—it’s about moments, settings, atmosphere. And lately, it seems the ring is being lifted out of the usual arenas and dropped back into places that feel bold, unconventional, even rebellious.

They’ve been out for a year. Maybe two. Injury, burnout, promotional gridlock—or just a brutal, unexpected defeat that knocked the momentum clean out of their career.

For decades, if you wanted to make it big in boxing, there were two places you had to be—the United States or the United Kingdom. The bright lights of Las Vegas, the electric atmosphere of Madison Square Garden, the packed stadiums of London—this was where the sport’s biggest fights happened, where careers were made, and where the money flowed.

Boxing is a sport built on preparation. Fighters spend months in training camp, fine-tuning their skills, sharpening their strategy, and peaking at just the right time. But what happens when all of that is thrown out the window? Short-notice fights have long been a staple of boxing’s unpredictable nature, but are they a genuine opportunity for fighters looking to break through, or just a brutal form of exploitation that stacks the deck against them?

Let’s cut straight to it—sponsorship deals are the holy grail for most fighters. They offer financial stability, brand exposure, and a much-needed buffer from boxing’s unpredictable paydays. Yet, while a select few at the top rake in fat endorsement checks, many rising fighters are left fighting just to pay the rent. It begs the question: why aren’t more young fighters getting the sponsorship deals they desperately need?

Let’s call it what it is—dodging mandatories has become a sport within the sport. Some of boxing’s biggest stars seem to treat their mandatory challengers like an inconvenient speed bump on the road to bigger paydays and headline-grabbing showdowns. And who can blame them? When there’s more money on the table for facing a fellow superstar rather than a relatively unknown contender, the business side of boxing often wins out. But here’s the question: should fighters be punished for it?
