2023 was a banner year. If 2024 can top it, we’re officially in the new golden era of boxing.

I have a feeling 2024 will be even bigger. Everyone seems to want the biggest fights ASAP, that’s the new trend. Unifications, undisputed & mega fights.

Best boxing year in a long time for me, in terms of watching fights and being excited for fights all year.
