These are some of the standout fights for me. Feel free to talk about any of them or bring up some fights you're excited about.


Andy Ruiz vs Anthony Joshua rematch in Nov or Dec
(First fight was upset of the year so far)

J-Rock vs Hurd rematch Dec 14th
(First fight was fight of the year so far imo. Hurd refuses to fight anyone not enrolled in VADA 90 days prior to the fight and recently asked Hurd what's up with him waiting so long. Hopefully Hurd takes care of that.)

Errol Spence Jr vs Shawn Porter Sept 28th
(Finally happening)

Sergey Kovalev vs Anthony Yarde Aug 24th
(Just about everyone is saying Yarde may not be ready for this challenge. He's a tough young dude but very green in the ring. He didn't even have many amateur fights. He's convinced himself that he's gonna KO Kovalev in The Krusher's home country tho.)

Vasyl Lomachenko vs Luke Campbell Aug 24th
(In the UK. Admittedly, I never miss a Loma fight.)

Regis Prograis vs Josh Taylor Oct 5th
(World Boxing Super Series tournament finale at 140. The winner will be a unified champion and will hopefully face the only other unified champion in the weight class, Jose Ramirez, for undisputed.)

Naoya Inoue vs Nonito Donaire Nov 7th
(World Boxing Super Series tournament finale at 118)

Claressa Shields vs Ivana Habazin Oct 5th
(Shields is dropping down to 154 to challenge a reigning champion in a 3rd weight class. Should she pull it off, she'll be the fastest boxer to ever become a 3-division champion, male or female. It'll only be her 10th professional fight.)

Heather Hardy vs Amanda Serrano Sept 13th
(Serrano is a 7-division champion, but all but 1 of those titles were vacant. Hardy is the smaller fighter here, which may influence the outcome. This fight will be at 126. Serrano's last fight was at 118, but her fight right before that was at 140. No idea how she's fluctuating in weight like that without PED's, unless...)

Devin Haney vs Zaur Abdullaev Sept 13th
(I never miss a Haney fight either. What's good about this fight, is that it will supposedly place him in contention for a title shot. He's on a collision course with Lomachenko should Loma stay at 135. That's a dream fight.)

Artur Beterbiev vs Oleksandr Gvozdyk - being finalized now
(If you don't know these two guys, get to know them. This has classic fight written all over it. Two light heavyweights (175) who can punch and box. Gvozdyk may have the boxing advantage and have Teddy Atlas in his corner as trainer, but Beterbiev will beat the dogshit out of just about anybody if he can touch them.)

Dewayne Beamon vs Juan Franciso Estrada Aug 24th
(Beamon is come-forward fighting prospect who's only lost one bout which he immediately avenged. Estrada has the title that he won from the very skilled Wangek. Estrada has only lost to top opposition, so this is Beamon's chance to prove himself as such.)
