We’re over halfway through the calendar year and, with a huge five months for the sport approaching, where we look likely to see some of the biggest fights in the history of the sport, we’ve taken a look at the British stars of 2026 so far.

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. 

A big fight took was had and a big fight was touted, however it was a certain debut that had boxing fans gushing.

Josh Kelly makes outing number one of the year this weekend as he looks to edge ever closer to a shot at world honours amongst a vibrant super-welterweight scene.
