Boxing calender 2026: Full schedule: Fight dates, weight classes, and locations How to watch

Boxing enjoyed a standout 2025, packed with championship bouts and major crossover events. That momentum carries into 2026, with another busy year ahead as Zuffa Boxing pushes deeper into the sport and Jake Paul’s Most Valuable Promotions remains a driving force in women’s boxing.

The opening days of January will feature Amanda Serrano returning to the ring, while Holly Holm, already a Hall of Famer, looks to add yet another title to her résumé. Rising stars are also front and center, with Moses Itauma and Xander Zayas among the young talents already locked into fights.

After Canelo Alvarez vs. Terence Crawford delivered one of 2025’s defining moments, the calendar closes January with another high-profile showdown as Teofimo Lopez meets Shakur Stevenson in a matchup that could reshape the super lightweight division.

Several of the sport’s biggest names are expected to compete at some point during the year, including Claressa Shields, David Benavidez, Naoya Inoue, and Jake Paul. There’s also the lingering question of whether Tyson Fury will emerge from retirement for a long-rumored clash with Anthony Joshua.

As bouts are officially announced and finalized, The Sporting News will continue updating the schedule with the latest confirmed fights.
