Boxing's Finest in 2024: Champions, Epic Battles, and More

In 2024, boxing fans were treated to a plethora of exciting moments. From anticipated rematches to historic victories, impressive performances, and a few incredible upsets, the year had it all. Many of the biggest boxing events took place during Riyadh Season in Saudi Arabia, where we saw Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury fight twice for heavyweight supremacy. Other events also helped revitalize the glamour division. We also saw the youngest undisputed champion in women's boxing, and the introduction of Netflix into the boxing world with their first live boxing event. And while Jake Paul's victory over legendary Mike Tyson was the headliner at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, the co-main event between Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano in a rematch of their 2002 bout was another instant classic. Let's not forget the KOs. With impressive stoppages, especially in title fights, this was probably the most difficult category to pick in our annual best-of-the-year list. To celebrate the best of those fighters and performances, Mike Coppinger and Nick Parkinson pick the sport's best of the year.
