It’s hard to emphasize how good 2023 was for the sport of boxing. Fans finally got to see long-discussed dream fights, such as Terence Crawford vs. Errol Spence Jr., Gervonta Davis vs. Ryan Garcia, and more. Furthermore, it seems like 2024 is set to be another incredible year for the sport, with contests such as Tyson Fury vs. Oleksandr Usyk already announced.
That bout will crown the first undisputed heavyweight champion since Lennox Lewis, who last pulled it off over two decades ago. However, even going beyond that heavyweight clash, 2024 is shaping up to be another incredible year for boxing.
Canelo Alvarez vs. Terence Crawford
‘Bud’ Aims To Become A Three-Weight Champion In 2024
Following Terence Crawford’s victory over Errol Spence Jr. earlier this summer, he made history. With the win over ‘The Truth’, he became the first man in boxing history to become a two-time undisputed champion. However, he doesn’t want to stop at a second weight class.
In recent months, Crawford has called out Canelo Alvarez for a fight at super-middleweight. A battle between two of the sport’s pound-for-pound best would be wild to see, and will also be a legacy-defining bout for both.
Teofimo Lopez vs. Subriel Matias
‘The Takeover’ Will Reportedly Return Next Year
Teofimo Lopez retired following a victory over Josh Taylor earlier this year. However, almost as soon as he retired, he began teasing that he would return for the right fight. In recent weeks, that “right fight”, has been revealed to be Subriel Matias.
‘Browny’ is something of a boogeyman at junior welterweight, holding a 20-1 record with all wins coming by finish. This fight is yet to be finalized, but if it comes together there’s no doubt it would be a thrilling one.
Katie Taylor vs. Chantelle Cameron 3
‘KT’ and ‘II Capo’ Will Reportedly Meet at Croke Park in 2024
Katie Taylor’s rivalry with Chantelle Cameron really came out of nowhere. Heading into 2023, she was expected to rematch Amanda Serrano, but after ‘The Real Deal’ suffered an injury, she decided to move up in weight.
There, she met the U.K.’s Cameron, who defeated her in the first fight. The Irish star later avenged her defeat in Dublin in the November, and Eddie Hearn has stated their plans to book the trilogy fight at Croke Park next year.
