Next heavyweight clash on April 5
The next boxing match of international importance will take place in April.
On April 5, the two British heavyweights Joe Joyce and Filip Hrgovic will meet in Manchester.
A lot is at stake for both of them: the winner can keep his chance of a title fight, but the loser is likely to disappear into heavyweight obscurity.
Joyce has an impressive knockout rate of over 90 percent, but the 39-year-old has recently suffered two defeats: against Zhilei Zhang and Derek Chisora.
Hrgovic also had to digest a setback recently. The Croatian had won 17 professional fights in a row before he was knocked out by Daniel Dubois in June 2024 in round 8.
At the Joyce vs. Hrgovic betting odds of the sports betting providers, the Croatian giant is considered the clear favorite. The “Juggernatu”, on the other hand, is only entering the square of ropes as a blatant underdog.
Next title fight in 2025
The next world title boxing match will take place in April at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City (USA).
Jaron Ennis and Eimantas Stanionis will face off in a blockbuster unification fight for the IBF, WBA and Ring Magazine welterweight titles on April 12.
Ennis (33-0 29 KOs) will defend his IBF belt for the third time. He previously defended the title by beating David Avanesyan in July 2020 and then mandatory challenger Karen Chukhadzhian in November.
Stanionis (15-0, 9 KOs) returned to the ring in April with a victory over Gabriel Maestre. He won and retained the regular WBA title he won against Radzhab Butaev in April 2022.
When is the next world championship boxing match in 2025?
On April 26, there will be a big boxing match in London!
Conor Benn vs. Chris Eubank Jr. is the duel on April 26, which will take place in London. It is also the duel between the two sons of former rivals Nigel Benn and Chris Eubank Sr.
Benn (23-0, 14 KOs), who is actually a welterweight, will switch to middleweight for this fight. In the welterweight division, the 28-year-old is currently ranked 2 in the world in the BoxRec world rankings. Eubank Jr. is ranked 4th in the middleweight division.
The British rivals were scheduled to meet as early as October 2022, before Benn tested positive for clomiphene. The suspension for this positive doping test was only lifted in November by the National Anti-Doping Panel (NAPD) in Great Britain.
Benn nevertheless fought two more fights in the USA. He scored two clear points against the lesser-known opponents Rodolfo Orozco and Peter Dobson over ten and twelve rounds respectively.
Eubank Jr. has also been boxing for the past two years and remained active. He initially lost to Liam Smith, only to establish himself as the winner in the direct rematch in September 2023.
Next Canelo boxing match on May 3
Saul Canelo Alvarez’s next boxing match will be in early May 2025!
On May 3, in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, Canelo will face William Scull in a world championship boxing match for the undisputed super middleweight title!
Canelo is currently the WBA, WBC and WBO champion. Scull, on the other hand, is the current IBF titleholder.
After Canelo refused to defend his IBF title against Scull, the title became vacant. Scull then won the fight for that world crown against Vladimir Shishkin and is now entering the ring against Canelo as the official IBF champion.
Canelo, who enters this world championship fight as the heavy favorite, could be crowned the undisputed world champion in the super middleweight division for the second time.
