Panel: Fury-Usyk aside, which fight are you most looking forward to in 2024?

Beterbiev vs Bivol postponed

Eddie Lam (Trainer)

Iโ€™m looking forward to Joshua fighting Ngannou. Iโ€™m wondering if that was a one-off good performance from Ngannou against Tyson Fury or did Fury have a bad day. Itโ€™ll be interesting to see. For me, AJ stops him because I think Fury looked bad against Ngannou and he put in a one-off performance. For my own fighters Iโ€™d say Sam Noakes vs. Mark Chamberlain and Skye Nicolson vs. Raven Chapman.

Mark Neilson (Promoter)

Dmitry Bivol vs. Artur Beterbiev. Like most boxing purists, this is the fight Iโ€™d most like to see. However, Iโ€™d love to see Joshua vs. Wilder. Maybe no titles on the line, but a huge heavyweight shootout between the divisionโ€™s heaviest punchers would be edge of your seat stuff from the opening bell.

Steven Broughton (Trainer)

Thereโ€™s a few fights Iโ€™m looking forward to. Nick Ball v Rey Vargas should be a great fight. Iโ€™d love to see Jaron Ennis in against Terence Crawford. Ennis looks like he might be the man to take over the mantle at welterweight. Heโ€™s looked fantastic up until now so it would be great to see how good he is. And Naoya Inoue against anyone. Itโ€™s just beautiful to watch him operate.

Sean Noakes (Welterweight prospect)

Bivol-Beterbiev. Boxer versus puncher for all of the belts, Iโ€™m really excited for that one. Itโ€™s hard to look past Beterbiev, heโ€™s relentless and reminds me a bit of my brother (Sam). Bivolโ€™s a boxer and mover but itโ€™s hard to keep someone off you for 12 rounds. With Bivol he only steps just out of range so if Beterbiev goes and goes again itโ€™s a bit risky for Bivol. I just favour Beterbiev.
