1 years ago By Jhon Woug

The year 2023 was great for boxing fans, with big fights like Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis against others. Ryan Garcia and Terence ‘Bud’ Crawford fight. Errol Spence Jr. and Canelo Alvarez fight. Jermell Charlo and Devin Haney fought. Vasiliy Lomachenko is taking centre stage. Also, the sport got a lot of focus with the show fight between Tyson Fury and Francis Ngannou. Waiting for the excitement, fans will look forward to 2024. A big boxing match where Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk are expected in February has been set up—see who wins this heavyweight belt fight! Fun starts in January, with many potential matchups that promise excitement.

Vergil Ortiz Jr. vs. Fredrick Lawson (January 6, Las Vegas, USA):

The calendar for boxing starts right away. On January 6 in Las Vegas, there will be a battle between two people who have never lost: Vergil Ortiz Jr. and Fredrick Lawson. Ortiz, with a perfect 19-0 record and all wins by knockout, is going against Lawson (30-3), who has lots of experience. He’s risking it all for victory in the boxing match that stops everyone else from standing. The card also includes a battle for the WBA super lightweight interim title between Ohara Davies (25-2) and Ismael Barroso (24-4-2). This looks set to be an action-packed start to the year.

Artur Beterbiev vs. Callum Smith (January 13, Quebec City, Canada):

One big event of January happens on the 13th, when Artur Beterbiev, a great light heavyweight who has won many fights without losing once, He had massive knockouts in all those brawls and held IBF, WBC, and WBO titles, which is going to protect them from being stolen by Callum Smith (29-1). Smith, who only lost one match against Alvarez, wants to defeat the powerful Beterbiev. This fight could change the light heavyweight category a lot. The main support act has Jason Moloney (26-2) protecting his WBO bantamweight title against Saul Sanchez (20-2).

Natasha Jonas vs. Mikaela Mayer (January 20, Liverpool, UK):

On January 20 in Liverpool, Natasha Jonas (14 wins out of 23 fights) is going to play against Mikaela Mayer for her IBF women’s welterweight title. Nikaya has a record of only one loss, while Mayer comes up with just one minor setback. Clash promises to be a strong fight between two very skilled fighters. This adds depth to the scene of women’s boxing games.

Kenshiro Teraji vs. Carlos Canizales (January 23, Japan):

On January 23rd, Japan will be the focus as two fighters battle for WBA and WBC light flyweight titles. Kenshiro Teraji has a record of 22-1, while Carlos Canizales stands at 26-1-1. The big-time event includes Artem Dalakian, the WBA flyweight champ with 22 wins and no losses, keeping his title against Seigo Yuri Akui, who has won 18 games but drawn one. In fights for titles, these matches show that boxers from all over the world are talented.

Jaime Munguia vs. John Ryder (January 27, Arizona, USA):

As January is about to end, people start looking towards Arizona for a big boxing match that does not give out any titles. Jaime Munguia (42-0) will face John Ryder (32-6), both former champion boxers. The fight will be lots of fun, adding a bit of uncertainty to the month’s arrangements.

When we get close to the end of January, excitement grows for the big boxing show in February. Still, the question lingers: which upcoming boxing match will affect the sport most in 2024?

Artur Beterbiev’s Potential Impact on Boxing in 2024:

The fight between Artur Beterbiev and Callum Smith will decide how the sport’s story is written in 2024. Beterbiev, without losing a fight and holding the IBF, WBC, and WBO light heavyweight titles, is going to face off with Dmitry Bivol (22-0), who has claimed the title of being the best. He does not have any losses on his record yet. A win against Smith could lead to the expected fight between Beterbiev and Bivol. This has been on fans’ wish lists for a long time already; in their minds, they want this showdown soon.

Dmitry Bivol, who knocked out Lyndon Arthur by a majority of judges’ decisions, supposedly made an agreement to fight for the ultimate championship in the light heavyweight category. If Beterbiev beats Smith in a fight, it paves the way for this huge matchup. A fight between two undefeated champs in the light heavyweight division will be a big moment for the boxing world. It’s going to get lots of attention from people all over who like watching boxing matches.

The significance of Beterbiev vs. Smith goes beyond just the short fight. It can bring the light heavyweight group together and make a big fight between Beterbiev and Bivol possible. This not only makes the fighters more famous, but it also creates enthusiasm and eagerness in boxing fans around the world.

As people get ready for an exciting new year in 2024, the feeling of big competition in January will stay strong all through that year too. Each boxing match, whether it’s the big openings or hard fights for titles, contributes to the stories that show who and where we know from sweet science.

Even future moments of clash add to these tales, making them stronger. The way to the big heavyweight boxing match in February might be happening, but in January, it’s time for each fighter to make a strong effect on the sport.
