As we approach the end of 2024, it is evident that the world of boxing has had its fair share of highs and lows. With the year starting off on a low key note, many underrated fights went under the radar in the 1st quarter. However, the 2nd quarter saw a significant increase in momentum, with several thrilling bouts capturing the attention of boxing fans. The summer months, on the other hand, were hit or miss, with some under the radar fights surpassing expectations while others failed to make a mark.
As we head into the final stretch of 2024, it is essential to take stock of the fights that have stood out so far. While matchups like Davis vs. Lomachenko, Stevenson vs. Zepeda, and Ennis vs. Norman Jr. were missed opportunities this year, there are still several exciting fights on the schedule to look forward to. From Usyk vs. Fury 2 to Taylor vs. Serrano 2, the boxing calendar is filled with intriguing matchups that promise to deliver fireworks.
One of the notable observations in the world of boxing in 2024 has been the output of Premier Boxing Champions (PBC), which has been relatively low compared to previous years. However, there are whispers of a potential resurgence, with rumors of exciting bouts like Fundora vs. Spence or Crawford, Davis vs. Valenzuela, and Benavidez vs. Yarde on the horizon. Despite the subdued performance of PBC this year, there is optimism that the organization will finish the year strong and come back with a bang in the New Year.
With less than 4 months left in 2024, boxing fans are already looking ahead to what 2025 has in store. While there may be complaints about missing some under the radar bouts this year, the focus is on the future and the potential for more iconic matchups and memorable fights. As we anticipate the transition to a new year, the world of boxing is ripe with possibilities and promises of excitement.
While boxing in 2024 has had its share of challenges and missed opportunities, the sport remains as thrilling and unpredictable as ever. With standout fights on the horizon and the potential for a resurgence in the coming year, fans can expect nothing short of riveting action inside the ring. As we bid farewell to 2024, let us look forward to what promises to be an adrenaline-fueled and unforgettable year in the world of boxing.
