Two of the most controversial, outspoken and ‘Marmite’ fighters in world boxing put it all on the line in the entertainment capital of the world this Saturday night as Ryan Garcia defends his WBC World Welterweight Title against Conor Benn.

As the saying goes, all good things must come to an end, but this isn’t just “good”; it is something special. Something that the world of boxing has never witnessed in its 5,000+ years of existence. This Saturday night, a trailblazer bows out of the sport in the most spectacular setting imaginable, as Katie Taylor brings an end to her illustrious 28-year career as a boxer in front of a sold-out crowd, just an hour down the road from where she was born and raised, at Croke Park in Dublin.

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.

For quite literally over a century, American boxers have dominated the heavyweight division. From the likes of Jack Johnson to Jack Dempsey to Gene Tunney to Joe Louis in the first half of the 20th century, then to the likes of Muhammad Ali, George Foreman, Joe Frazier and Larry Holmes, and then to Mike Tyson, the 20th century was well and truly the century of the American heavyweight.

As is usually the case in boxing, the main event is usually the showcase fight of the night, and rightly so. But with the quality and depth of cards seemingly getting better with every show, there are usually some absolute gems on undercards, and with the schedule for the end of 2026 filling up nicely, we’ve picked out SEVEN undercard fights to get your beady boxing eyes excited for.

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.

Combat sports have been around for quite literally thousands of years, but in recent times, an old favourite has reignited the bloodlust of many, and it only seems to be getting bigger and better with every show.

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.

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.

It’s all eyes on the Pyramids of Giza this Saturday night, not just because it’s one of the eight wonders of the world, but because for the first time in history, a professional boxing card will take place right in front of it as Oleksandr Usyk defends his WBC & Ring Magazine World Heavyweight Titles against former kickboxing world champion Rico Verhoeven.

In terms of boxing spectacles, it really does not get much bigger than a heavyweight world title fight in front of one of the eight wonders of the world. No, not York Hall — the Pyramids of Giza in Egypt — and on Saturday night, one of the best boxers of all time in Oleksandr Usyk will be defending his heavyweight titles against one of the best, if not the best, heavyweight kickboxers in Rico Verhoeven right in front of the iconic landmark.

After arguably one of the greatest fights in heavyweight boxing history last weekend, the big boys take centre stage once again this weekend as Doncaster’s favourite son Dave Allen welcomes the Croatian monster Filip Hrgovic to his hometown.

It was another weekend to remember for Daniel Dubois as he climbed off the canvas TWICE to stop Fabio Wardley and become a two-time world champion with one of the most destructive, brutal and devastating performances in recent heavyweight boxing history.

This Saturday night sees one of the main events of the year so far, but before it, there is, by some distance, one of the best undercards of the year. From former world champions and two-time Olympic gold medallists to domestic dust-ups and some of the biggest prospects in British and global boxing, it’s an undercard that quite literally has it all.

In terms of the magnitude of fights in British boxing, it doesn’t get much bigger than an all-British heavyweight world title fight. This isn’t just your ordinary heavyweight world title fight though.

In terms of three huge domestic fights in three corners of the world, boxing really does not get much bigger and better than it does this weekend.

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.
