Boxing 2026

I've only just noticed that Dalton Smith got the year off to a good start by winning the WBC super-welter title in the early hours of yesterday. That was a turn-up and no mistake.

First Moses Itauma's fight, due to take place last Saturday, had to be postponed as Moses had picked up an injury and has now being rearranged for 28 March. I have now found out that Adam Azim's next fight due to take place this Saturday has also had to be postponed, due to both Adam and his opponent picking up injuries, a new date has yet to be arranged.

A great pity as they are two of the most exciting boxers around at the moment.

Tyson Fury is coming out of retirement for I think the 5th time, it's very hard to keep up with the number of times. He's fighting Arslanbek Makhmudov, who in his last fight was taken the full distance by Dave Allen, the Russian eventually won on an UD. The fight takes place on 11 April, venue yet to be confirmed.

After no British boxing on TV so far this year, tonight there's two cards including one on BBC headlined by the very lovely Fran Hennessy . Boxing is perhaps the worst-governed sport on earth.

Yeah but nothing on Sky, looks like they've given up with boxing, they haven't had a fight night for months.
