It’s been a wild year so far in the boxing ring. The first four-belt undisputed heavyweight champion was crowned after Oleksandr Usyk outboxed Tyson Fury. Undisputed (at the time) super middleweight champion Canelo Alvarez returned to score a spirited win over countryman Jaime Munguia before returning in September to outbox Edgar Berlanga. And Gervonta Davis scored a brutal knockout in his return to the ring against Frank Martin.

Also, on Nov. 15 Jake Paul took a clear decision win over Mike Tyson at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. The fight didn’t live up to the unrealistic hype but did draw massive mainstream attention while streaming live on Netflix.  

But with just a few weeks left to go in 2024, plenty of big attractions are left on the horizon. This includes a pair of fights featuring pound-for-pound talent.

Usyk and Fury are set to rematch in Saudi Arabia at the close of the year. The pair will meet on Dec. 21, with Usyk looking to once again prove himself as the best heavyweight on the planet, though he was stripped of his IBF heavyweight title after the first Fury bout due to sanctioning body politics.

Undisputed junior featherweight champ — and pound-for-pound king — Naoya Inoue will also be in action when he defends his four world championships against Sam Goodman on Christmas Eve in Tokyo.

Davis was also set for a return to the ring before the end of the year to defend his WBA lightweight title against Lamont Roach. That fight has since been postponed and is expected to take place in early 2025.

Take a look at the rest of the calendar for 2024 below.
