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.

We’ve given you our four British prospects to watch in 2026, so now it’s time for us to go international, and we’ve picked out four future stars of the sport from outside the UK. First up, we head Down Under for one of the most exciting heavyweight prospects in the world.

It was a year to remember for British boxing in 2025, and 2026 looks set to be even bigger and even better. As we do each year, we give you some prospects to follow over the next 12 months who we are predicting big things from. This year, we’ve picked out four.

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.

From Brisbane to Monte Carlo and then finishing off in San Antonio, we are quite literally going globetrotting this Saturday with close to 20 hours of straight boxing across three action-packed cards in three completely different parts of the world.

British boxing returns to its domestic best this weekend — albeit on one night with two different shows — as Olympic bronze medallist Frazer Clarke looks to become the British heavyweight champion at the first time of asking, whilst Clarke’s Tokyo Olympics teammate and silver medallist Ben Whittaker makes his Matchroom Boxing debut in a tough test against solid opposition.

Riyadh Season’s reputation for putting on top-quality cards gets enhanced even more in Riyadh this weekend as eight of the world’s best put it all on the line in FOUR cracking world title fights across four different weight divisions. 

November 18th 1990… The night in which Nigel Benn was emphatically stopped by Chris Eubank Jr. 35 years on, one draw and another defeat later, Conor Benn claimed sweet revenge for the Benn family as he put on a career best performance to dominate and outclass Chris Eubank Jr in front of a packed-out Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. 

All eyes are once again on the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this weekend as Chris Eubank Jr and Conor Benn go at it for a second time. Before that though, there’s an absolutely stacked undercard which features three domestic barnstormers and two that include some of the future stars of British boxing.

The most highly anticipated rematch in recent British boxing history is finally here. This isn’t a fight that just belongs in the history books for 2025 — this is a fight that belongs in the history books of the past 30 years.

It’s not often you can go from Manchester to Orlando, but that’s exactly what we do in this weekend’s preview as we take a look at Queensberry’s light-heavyweight card in Manchester before turning our attention to Jordan Thompson’s heavyweight debut against the dangerous, undefeated Cuban, Lenier Pero.

Here we go again… Scarily, for the second time this month, what should be a review of one of the fights of the year is instead a review of another poor piece of officiating by a repeat offender.

After a week off, big-time heavyweight boxing returns to the shores of England this weekend as former world champion Joseph Parker steps back into action against the hard-hitting, undefeated Fabio Wardley at the O2 Arena.

It’s something we’ve written about time and time again, three times to be specific in less than a year but things just aren’t getting any better and in fact, they’re probably getting worse. Incompetent judging of fights. 

A British White Rhino clashing with a Russian Bear in Sheffield… Something that only AI could realistically visualise — however, this Saturday night, we get just that, as fan favourite Dave Allen takes on the hard-hitting Russian giant Arslanbek Makhmudov on home soil, with a solid domestic undercard before it.

After a busier than usual August, but still a relatively quiet month, boxing returns to its busy best this weekend — and we’ll be taking a look at not one, not two, but three cards in our weekend preview.

The growth of Bare Knuckle Boxing over the past 10 years has been quite simply remarkable. After the first licensed show in over a century took place in June 2015, it’s gone from strength to strength, with broadcasters such as DAZN now jumping on the bandwagon and partnering with the leading organisation BKFC to broadcast multiple shows a month.

With the end of 2025 getting closer by the day and promoters’ schedules starting to get finalised for the end of the year, we’ve picked out six fights across four weight classes that we would like to see before the turn of the year.

Ahead of last Saturday night, much of the talk centred on whether the 20-year-old heavyweight sensation Moses Itauma has what it takes to become a heavyweight great. Dillian Whyte was seen as a step up in opposition — arguably the first fighter Itauma had faced who posed a real threat to him. However, in less than 120 seconds, Itauma silenced any doubters who suggested he wasn’t ready for an opponent like Whyte. First-round knockout. Job done.
