Panel: If you could make one fight in 2024, what would it be?

Tony Sims (Trainer)

Iโ€™d make the Benn-Eubank Jr fight. And then thereโ€™s Joshua-Fury if they both come through their next fights. It also depends on how they look in those fights. See what theyโ€™ve both got left in the tank. I think Joshuaโ€™s got a good style to beat Fury, but then Furyโ€™s difficult to beat. Itโ€™s one of them fights the whole country wants to see.


Zach Parker (Super-middleweight contender)

Joshua-Wilder or Fury-Joshua. Itโ€™s the Battle of the Brits. Everyone loves the heavyweights at the minute. Saudi Arabia is pulling out all the stops to get the big fights made. I can see Wilder knocking Joshua out, too. For myself Iโ€™d want a [super-middleweight] world title shot. Caneloโ€™s there, Iโ€™d love the David Benavidez fight. Thereโ€™s a lot of big fights out there to be made in 2024.

Terence Crawford vs. Canelo Alvarez. It would be a very interesting fight and it would be for me as a boxing fan. Crawford is unbelievable, heโ€™s a great. I think Canelo is past his best but heโ€™s also still very dangerous and heโ€™s a lot bigger than Crawford, but Crawford could put enough weight on and maybe Canelo could drop a bit.


Declan Warrington (Sports Journalist)

Terence Crawford-Jaron Ennis. Not that it seems remotely likely to happen. But it has everything โ€” unlike a likelier fight between Crawford and Saul โ€œCaneloโ€ Alvarez that Crawford wouldnโ€™t win. Itโ€™s two fighters of the very highest quality, who are well-matched, and would divide observers over whether Ennis is ready to succeed Crawford. Itโ€™s the only victory that would really enhance Crawfordโ€™s legacy; it could also make Ennis a star.
