2020 could be the year of some epic boxing matches
The glorious days of boxing matches are coming back. In recent years, we’ve seen many great talents rise to fame and the matches are becoming more interesting to watch. The recent fight between Tyson Fury and Deontay “The Bronze Bomber” Wilder is a good proof of what we just said. Their match was full of excitement and the outcome was unpredictable. Because of the increasing popularity of the sport, even online casinos like NoviCasino started making casino games with graphics based on boxers and the sport, in general, as a way to attract more people to their sites.
The past couple of years have given us great fights and we are looking forward to seeing many more in the upcoming years. Every division has great boxers and all of them are keen and highly motivated to get their hands on the belts. We recently witnessed Canelo Alvarez jumping 2 divisions to have a go at the Light Heavyweight belt. He fought Sergey “Krusher” Kovalev and won via knockout in the 11th round and became a four-division champion. In short, we are expecting some bouts, filled with adrenaline and competition. There are many potential record-breakers, which is why we decided to give you a list of the three fights we need to see in 2020.
Tyson Fury vs Deontay Wilder 2
The first bout between these two was absolutely legendary. On one side, Deontay Wilder was keen on defeating one of the greatest boxers in the division, and on the other side, Fury was looking for redemption after battling with depression and substance abuse for 3 years.
The fight between these two was very aggressive with numerous shots landed and quite a few knockouts. Both of them were undefeated, which made the bout even more exciting. In the end, the judges decided that the match was a draw. Since then, the two fighters have been sending shots at each other and there are talks about a rematch, but nothing specific. Hopefully, we’ll see that happening in 2020.
Fury/ Wilder vs Anthony Joshua/ Andy Ruiz Jr.
If the potential bout between Fury and Wilder takes place, it is only right for the winner of that fight to face the winner between Anthony Joshua and Andy Ruiz Jr. Everybody deemed Ruiz as an outsider to the game, with no chance of being the champion, but he managed to defeat Joshua in the first match and become the first Mexican Heavyweight champion.
The rematch between the two will take place in December, and it would be spectacular is we can see the winner of that bout face the winner between Fury and Wilder. These four are the best fighters in the division and there is no doubt that we’ll see an excellent fight.
Floyd Mayweather vs Anybody
Although Floyd announced that he was retiring after the bout against Conor McGregor, he recently changed his mind. He took it to Instagram to announce his return in 2020 and said that he has something special coming as he is in talks with Dana White, the president of the UFC. Who knows, maybe we’ll see the rematch with him and Conor, or we’ll see him fight Khabib.
Boxing fans are also craving a rematch with Manny Pacquiao, as final capstone to each of the hall-of-famers careers. Could Mayweather handle Pacman, who boxing fans have witnessed in the ring recently, is an entirely different question.
