Panel: What was your favourite boxing moment of 2023?
Terence Crawford stops Errol Spence in July (Getty Images)

Denzel Bentley (Middleweight contender)

Errol Spence Jnr and Terence Crawford fighting one another. Crawford is my favourite fighter. I enjoyed seeing him make history and become a two-weight undisputed champion and finally getting a fight as big as him versus Spence and coming out victorious. I think a rematch will be a little bit more competitive, but I still think Crawford wins.

Donald McRae (Journalist/Author)

It was brutal but there was something unforgettable in seeing Terence Crawford crush Errol Spence. This was a fight we had waited years to see, but it did not take long for Crawford to prove that he operates on a different level to even a fighter as good as Spence. Any disappointment at the one-sided nature of the bout soon gave way to a sense of privilege that we could finally be certain of Crawford’s magisterial talent.

Jack Catterall (Super-lightweight contender)

For me it was getting back in the ring and fighting in Manchester my hometown. Being able to put that period of frustration [behind me] and fights falling through and getting back in there. I enjoyed the success of my stablemates, being able to support the boys and girls in the gym, being in that environment and able to watch their careers progress and unfold and supporting their journeys.

Richard Farnan (Cutman/Trainer)

When Venado Lopez went to Belfast and beat Mick Conlan. I was in his corner. Everything was stacked against him. Mick was a Top Rank favourite and it looked like they were feeding Lopez to him because they wanted Mick to have a world title. Venado was full of confidence, had zero doubts. How he conducted himself in that fight and how that fight went was jaw-dropping. Incredible.
