"We've come close before, several times, but this time we are filled with renewed optimism the heavyweight super-fight will happen. Forget the fact neither man is world champion or that Fury, 37, has been retired for a year, or the fight is a few years late with Joshua now 36, we'd still really like to see it. It would be a seminal moment for the two best British heavyweights of their era to face each other."
"Lightweight world champion Caroline Dubois is quickly emerging as the next major talent. Now aligned with Jake Paul's Most Valuable Promotions (MVP), she made her promotional debut in December with an impressive win against Camilla Panatta. Surely unification fights are next for the 24-year-old and who is a better option than fellow Briton and WBO belt holder Terri Harper? The pair don't seem to be the biggest fans of each other but now they're under the same promotional banner."
Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury remain the most anticipated heavyweight matchup, with optimism for a UK fight at the end of 2026 despite neither holding a world title and Fury's year-long retirement and Joshua now aged 36. Lightweight world champion Caroline Dubois, aged 24 and promoted by Most Valuable Promotions, seeks unification bouts, with fellow Briton and WBO champion Terri Harper a likely opponent. Unified super-featherweight Alycia Baumgardner, who beat Harper in 2021, also presents an intriguing option. Unbeaten 23-year-old light-welterweight Adam Azim is poised for a significant step up after a scheduled fight against Gustavo Daniel Lemos.
