Matchroom Boxing promoter Eddie Hearn, speaking exclusively to Ready to Fight, identified the most eagerly awaited bouts of the new year:
“In 2025, of course, I’d love to see Joshua vs. Fury. And also Benn vs. Eubank. These are two British blockbusters,” Hearn stated.
Recently, Anthony Joshua declared that a fight with Tyson Fury must happen in 2025.
Chris Eubank Jr. and Conor Benn initially planned to fight in October 2022, but the match fell through due to Benn’s positive doping test. Since then, Benn has fought in the USA, where the suspension did not apply. In November, the charges against him were dropped. In 2023, Eubank traded technical knockouts with Liam Smith before returning to the ring in October to stop Kamil Szeremeta by TKO in the 7th round.
On January 11 in London, UK, The Ring magazine hosted its annual awards ceremony. You can view the full list of winners via the provided link.
