Rematches are part and parcel of boxing these days. Whether we like them or not, in many big fights there’s a rematch clause. In rare cases, like this one, there wasn’t a rematch clause — but the demand for the two fighters to run it back is just as powerful as any signed piece of paper.

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.

When it comes to boxing, a crossroads fight is often a vital part of not one but two fighters’ careers. One fighter is usually on the up with a huge future ahead of them, while the other faces the bleak prospect of potential retirement if they lose.

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.

In terms of a double-header, from two different promoters, with two different broadcasters, over two days and in one city, it really does not getting much better in the world of boxing than this weekend.  One of the greatest rivalries in boxing will come to a conclusion at Madison Square Garden on Friday as Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano battle it out in what will more than likely be the big finale between the pair on an all-female card which features three undisputed world title fights and three more world title fights, two of those being unification clashes. Remarkable. 

With this week's world title action already done and dusted by Thursday morning, the boxing world's beady eyes will all be on Manchester this weekend as Jack Catterall looks to bounce back from defeat against Arnold Barboza Jr when he takes on the undefeated Harlem Eubank on his return to welterweight.

In terms of a random weekend of boxing action, it really doesn’t get much more random – but as randomly exciting – as this one. A super-middleweight ‘interim’ world title fight on Friday, followed by the return of a former heavyweight world champ. Then on Saturday, probably the best fight of the weekend in an all-British European title clash – and Jake Paul headlining a card that features a cruiserweight unification clash against another former world champ.

After a week off last week, big-time boxing returns to the shores of England this weekend as Olympic gold medallist Galal Yafai defends his WBC World ‘Interim’ Flyweight Title against Mexico’s Francisco Rodriguez Jr in what looks set to be a sold-out Resorts World Arena in Yafai’s home city of Birmingham.

t started as a joke. A gimmick. A sideshow. “Influencer boxing” was the unwanted child of social media and combat sports—one nobody in the industry asked for and most wished would disappear. But here we are in 2025, and Misfits Boxing isn’t just surviving—it’s thriving. The very platform that once had boxing purists foaming at the mouth has packed out major arenas, racked up millions of pay-per-view buys, and built a die-hard fanbase willing to travel across continents to scream for their favourite YouTuber throwing overhand rights with all the precision of a bar brawl.

Following on from the success of Chisora vs Wallin last weekend, big-time boxing stays in Manchester this weekend as the exciting Jack Catterall headlines a cracking Matchroom card against the undefeated American Arnold Barboza Jr for the WBO ‘Interim’ World Super-Lightweight Title.

2007… The year that was better known for the outbreak of Bird Flu and Gordon Brown becoming Prime Minster. It was also the year when a future British boxing legend made his debut in the pro ranks. 

It’s rare in boxing in this day and age to see two hungry, young, determined, and, let’s be honest, elite-level fighters willing to put their undefeated records on the line in a fight that isn’t even for a full world title.

Big-time boxing is well and truly back this weekend with a Matchroom double-header on opposite sides of the Atlantic.

Boxing is booming already in 2025, and the year is barely a couple of weeks old. With superfights such as Eubank Jr vs Benn and Garcia vs Haney both pretty much announced, we’ve picked out five weight classes that could host some of the biggest and most exciting bouts over the next 12 months. Where better to start than with the big boys?

We’ve picked out our seven British prospects to follow in 2025, and now it’s time to take a deep look into the next crop of talent from the rest of the world. We’ve chosen five fighters—some with names that may already be familiar to you and others that may not—to follow over the coming months.

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. 

One of the most highly anticipated rematches in heavyweight boxing history well and truly lived up to expectations on Saturday night as Oleksandr Usyk retained his WBO, WBC, WBA & Ring Magazine heavyweight titles with a hard-fought victory over former two-time champ Tyson Fury.
