2024 could prove to be one of the best yet for boxing with some major fights being talked about this calendar year.
2023 saw another two undisputed champions crowned as Terence Crawford became the first man to be undisputed champion in two weight classes after outclassing welterweight rival Errol Spence Jr.
That feat was then matched by Naoya Inoue who became undisputed champion at super-bantamweight just 12 months after becoming undisputed champion at bantamweight.
Oleksandr Usyk became the third member of that exclusive club in May this year when he beat Tyson Fury to become the undisputed heavyweight champion, almost six years on since achieving the same feat at cruiserweight.
The bout was one of many exciting fights already in 2024, with many more huge fights slated for later in the year. Dexerto Sport has rounded up all of the major boxing events confirmed so far this year, as well as all the fight results so far.
