There are some large boxing battles the following couple of months, including undisputed title standoffs and interesting rematches. While the first half of the year has given us staggering minutes, like Gervonta “Tank” Davis’ KO of Frank Martin and Oleksandr Usyk’s choice triumph over Tyson Fury to turn into the primary undisputed heavyweight champion in the four-belt time, the following couple of months are loaded with matchups that could obscure those pivotal turning points.
There’s the exceptionally expected rematch among Usyk and Fury, the arrival of Canelo Alvarez in one more section of a Mexico versus Puerto Rico boxing contention against Edgar Berlanga and one more rematch between two of the best fighters throughout the entire history of women’s boxing, Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano. What’s more, we could see one more first in the four-belt period: an undisputed light heavyweight champion.
Whether it is knockouts, boxing abilities or a brutal fighting style one gets a kick out of the chance to see, there is something for everybody. How about we take a gander at the five most charming battles on the boxing schedule from this point until December.
1. Artur Beterbiev versus Dmitry Bivol scheduled for Oct. 12 on ESPN+ PPV
The two opponent light heavyweight champions might have lower profiles than any semblance of Alvarez and Fury, yet battle fans possess been sitting tight a long energy for this one. We have needed to stand by significantly longer after the battle got pushed back from June on the grounds that Beterbiev experienced a burst meniscus during training.
It’s an entrancing matchup between the best contenders in the division: Bivol 23-0, 11 KOs, a smooth and sharp fighter, versus Beterbiev 20-0, 20 KOs, a savage 100% knockout machine.
You keep thinking about whether Beterbiev’s physical issue will be a characterizing factor in this battle, which will be organized in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Bivol will go into the battle ready for business in the wake of enlisting his first stoppage win in quite a while, a 6th round technical TKO over Malik Zinad in June. Bivol, 33, likewise has the experience of delivering a furious success over Alvarez. His movement could demonstrate the difference against the 39-year-old Beterbiev, who has halted every one of his preofessional rivals.
2. Oleksandr Usyk versus Tyson Fury 2 scheduled for Dec. 21 on DAZN PPV
Usyk nearly halted Fury in Round 9 of their undisputed heavyweight title conflict in December, and it will be entrancing to perceive how the rematch in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, unfurls. Could Usyk 22-0, 14 KOs raise the stakes than the split choice success and stop Fury? Or on the other hand will Fury 34-1-1, 24 KOs devise a strategy that will see him pursue retribution?
Fury, 36, is a smart contender and knows the changes he wants to make. Keep in mind, he was winning the battle at the midpoint, when Usyk, 37, started to have achievement.
This could be Usyk’s last battle at heavyweight. He has discussed heavyweight being an over-the-top battle to keep weight on for, and could get back to cruiserweight, a division in which he ruled as undisputed champion.
This could likewise be the last battle of Fury’ career on the off chance that he experiences a knockout misfortune. There’s a ton of discuss Fury loss, he might ponder resigning to keep away from the embarrassment of losing to AJ.
Fury won’t need inspiration or heart, however could he at any point adapt to Usyk’s speed and development?
3. Daniel Dubois versus Anthony Joshua scheduled for Sept. 21 on DAZN PPV
This all-English conflict, booked for Wembley Arena in London, has shown composed on top of it. Both are strong punchers, and a knockout appears to be the possible result. Joshua is back in structure, in the wake of losing two choices to Usyk in world title battles and has assembled three continuous stoppage wins to make him the wagering number one against Dubois – 550 for every ESPN BET.
Joshua 28-3, 25 KOs was exciting in a speedy destruction job of previous UFC champion Francis Ngannou in March, and against Dubois, search for him to release his right hand whenever he detects an open door, as he did against Ngannou. Filip Hrgovic had the option to land right hands-on Dubois last June before Dubois halted him in Round 8. That success procured Dubois 21-2, 20 KOs the IBF interim belt, which was moved up to the full title after undisputed hero Usyk surrendered it in June.
Dubois, 26, has looked helpless yet additionally risky. Against Usyk, Dubois’ group contended he scored a genuine knockdown in Round 5 when he hit Usyk with a body punch that sent him to the material in pain, yet the punch was controlled low. Usyk proceeded to win by stoppage in the 10th round, however Dubois has restored his profession with TKO triumphs over Jarrell Mill and Hrgovic.
Joshua, 34, is one more move forward, be that as it may, and many will anticipate that he should turn into a three-time champion in stupendous design.
4. Katie Taylor vs. Amanda Serrano 2 scheduled for Nov. 15 on Netflix
Netflix engages with big-time boxing with what vows to be a thrill ride of a continuation. These two greats will confront each other in the future after Taylor won their April 2022 experience through split choice to hold her undisputed lightweight title. Some felt Serrano 47-2-1, 31 KOs was unfortunate not to get the choice, and she has since enlisted five straight wins, four of which were at featherweight. The battle at AT&T Arena in Arlington, Texas, will be the co-headliner to Jake Paul’s matchup with legendary previous heavyweight champion Mike Tyson.
The rematch among Taylor and Serrano will be at junior welterweight, a critical variable since Serrano, 35, a seven-division champion, has worked for the majority of her career in the lighter weight classes. Taylor 23-1, 6 KOs will be more grounded and more used to the weight class after she pulled off her best career prevail upon with a greater part choice Chantelle Cameron in November. The triumph made Taylor undisputed junior welterweight champion and retaliated for her main professional loss, which came against Cameron in May 2023.
Taylor, 38, showed she is a long way from completed in her last battle, and she could win without contentions this time. Serrano will attempt to use her speed in what may be the last huge battle for these two legends of women’s boxing.
5. Canelo Alvarez vs. Edgar Berlanga scheduled for Sept. 14 on Prime Video PPV
Canelo’s defense of his three super middleweight titles at T-Mobile Field in Las Vegas isn’t against the adversary many would have liked. Boxing fans would have gotten a kick out of the chance to see him line facing David Benavidez or even Terence Crawford, the long-supreme welterweight champion who just climbed in weight to win a junior middleweight belt.
Berlanga 22-0, 17 KOs began his profession with 16 back-to-back stoppage triumphs in the first round, however, went three years without a KO win until he took out Padraig McCrory in February. Berlanga, 27, is younger and has power, yet he doesn’t contain similar degree of danger as Canelo’s new rivals like Jaime Munguia and Jermell Charlo.
Alvarez 61-2-2, 39 KOs was deprived of his IBF title in July, however he remains boxing’s greatest star. The 34-year-old Mexican has confronted such countless huge names in his career, from Floyd Mayweather to Gennadiy Golovkin. This matchup against Berlanga simply doesn’t energize everybody. Be that as it may, Canelo will be attempting to pull off his most memorable knockout win in almost three years. That is a valid justification to tune in. You don’t have the foggiest idea the number of a greater amount of these Canelo evenings we have left.
