It was another banner year for boxing in 2025, with multiple title and super fights taking place. There’s plenty to keep an eye on in 2026 as Zuffa Boxing looks to take over the sport and Jake Paul’s Most Valuable Promotions continues to be the place to be for women’s boxing.
Amanda Serrano and Katie Taylor may be hanging up the gloves in 2026. Meanwhile, the future was showcased when Xander Zayas faced Jaron Ennis.
Canelo Alvarez vs. Terence Crawford was a massive fight in 2025. The end of January saw another big clash when Teofimo Lopez faced Shakur Stevenson. Now, Lopez faces Rolando Romero, while Stevenson signed with Zuffa.
