Boxing fans’ 2024 dream fights unveiled: From Fury-Joshua showdown to Taylor-Cameron trilogy

As we step into the new year, the boxing world is buzzing with anticipation, and it’s the perfect moment to outline the wish list for 2024’s most anticipated fights.

Tyson Fury vs. Anthony Joshua:

Let’s kick off with a colossal clash that fight fans have been yearning for—Tyson Fury versus Anthony Joshua. Despite previous false starts and failed negotiations, 2023 has ushered in a renewed optimism, with Saudi Arabia’s commitment to bolstering the boxing scene. While Fury has a confirmed bout with Oleksandr Usyk, the possibility of a Fury-Joshua showdown remains tantalizing, especially considering the ongoing cooperation between boxing’s elite and Saudi Arabia.

Katie Taylor vs. Chantelle Cameron III:

The epic comeback of Katie Taylor against Chantelle Cameron in November leveled their rivalry at 1-1 after two gripping encounters. A trilogy is now in the works, marking Taylor’s first trilateral showdown as a professional. Whether the bout takes place in Ireland’s GAA stadium Croke Park against Cameron or Amanda Serrano, it promises to be a fitting conclusion to Taylor’s remarkable career.

Devin Haney vs. Garcia Davis:

Devin Haney’s commanding victory over Regis Prograis to claim the WBC light-welterweight title solidified his status as one of the world’s premier fighters. With Haney showcasing versatility by moving up in weight, fans are eager to witness a clash with WBA ‘regular’ lightweight champion Gervonta Davis. The contrasting styles—Davis’s power against Haney’s finesse—add an extra layer of intrigue to this potential blockbuster.

Anthony Yarde vs. Joshua Buatsi or Dan Azeez:

Similar to the Fury-Joshua saga, conflicting interests and rival promoters have hindered a showdown between Anthony Yarde and Joshua Buatsi. The desire of British boxing enthusiasts to witness this clash between two Londoners has been long-standing. Yarde, after an impressive display against Artur Beterbiev, is keen on facing the winner of Buatsi vs. Azeez, adding more anticipation to this matchup.

Artur Beterbiev vs. Dmitry Bivol:

In the realm of light-heavyweights, a clash between Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol stands out as the most intriguing stylistic matchup. Beterbiev’s unparalleled knockout prowess, boasting a 100% stoppage rate in 19 fights, collides with Bivol’s elusive defensive skills that even the formidable Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez couldn’t breach. This potential bout holds the promise of unifying all light-heavyweight belts in the four-belt era, offering fans a tactical chess match between two supremely talented fighters.
