"Tyson Fury is back after yet another retirement, and that means talk of a long-awaited mega-fight with Anthony Joshua is heating up once again. The two have been linked since 2021 -- could this finally be the year it happens? David Benavidez continues his push to become boxing's next star. With Canelo Alvarez now in his rearview mirror, the light heavyweight champion's biggest potential statement fight looms at cruiserweight against Gilberto "Zurdo" Ramirez."
"The all-British heavyweight showdown has lost some of its shine, with both Fury and Joshua suffering defeats and relinquishing their world titles since the matchup was first discussed in June 2020, but it is undoubtedly still the biggest fight in British heavyweight history. And the stakes are arguably higher now that both fighters are on the tail end of their respective careers. Sometimes, pride is bigger than world titles."
Tyson Fury's return has revived hopes for a mega-fight with Anthony Joshua, a rivalry linked since 2021 that now carries added intrigue as both fighters face career twilight and newfound vulnerabilities. David Benavidez is advancing toward bigger tests, with a cruiserweight showdown against Gilberto "Zurdo" Ramirez as a potential statement. Claressa Shields stands as a three-division undisputed champion but still lacks a marquee grudge opponent, with Shadasia Green presented as one possibility. Ryan Garcia will challenge Mario Barrios for the WBC welterweight title, with a unification bout against Rolando "Rolly" Romero feasible if Garcia wins.
