Boxing had one of its best years in 2023, staging terrific matchups – but more is desired in the coming calendar year. 

The Ring Magazine decided to play matchmaker and present to you the top 24 fights that should be staged in 2024.

1: Terence Crawford vs. Anybody 

The boxing world is Terence Crawford’s oyster. The Ring’s No. 1-rated pound-for-pound fighter scored a legacy-defining win against Errol Spence Jr. to become an undisputed champion in a second division. The one-sided beatdown was one of the most prolific performances in what was considered by many a 50-50 matchup going in. 

The welterweight king is next set to give Spence a shot at a sequel.

What eventually can come after, should Bud prove he’s “The Truth” once more, is a series of mouthwatering matchups. 

Crawford can pick to pit himself against a high-profile opponent like Keith Thurman, try to pump the brakes of the fast-rising career of Jaron Ennis, attempt to collect titles in a fourth division by settling his feud with Jermell Charlo or do the somewhat unfathomable by moving up three weight classes to challenge undisputed super middleweight champion Canelo Alvarez. 

It should only be big-time fights from here on out for the 36-year-old Crawford. After years of struggling to land attractive dance partners, Crawford is sitting pretty at the head of the table and can get any date he desires.

2: Canelo Alvarez vs. David Benavidez

Boxing’s biggest breadwinner has been calling the shots for nearly a decade, and after taking over the super middleweight division over the last three years, only one more test remains for Alvarez in the 168-pound division. 

A meeting with “Mexican Monster” David Benavidez and Alvarez has been simmering for several years, and 2024 should be the year for it to finally happen. 

Alvarez signed a three-fight deal with Premier Boxing Champions last year and has two more fights remaining with the promotional organization. Benavidez is also tied to PBC and is the top option that can be presented to Alvarez.

Alvarez is 33 years old and Benavidez is 27, and the more youthful fighter believes he’s now mature and ready to step into the fire and reclaim the 168-pound titles he lost outside of the ring due to mishaps on the scale and with drugs over the years. 

Alvarez has remained noncommittal to Benavidez, but after a failed run at 175 pounds against Dmitry Bivol in 2022, Alvarez appears inclined to stay put at 168 pounds for the time being. 

Benavidez is by far the best option that can be presented to Alvarez. The likes of David Morrell, Jaime Munguia and Edgar Berlanga are all a distant second. However, the Mexican superstar wonders if he’ll get the credit he deserves for facing The Ring’s No. 1-rated super middleweight.

“Yeah it always happens – Erislandy Lara, Austin Trout, Floyd Mayweather, Miguel Cotto, Gennadiy Golovkin, Daniel Jacobs, Callum Smith, Billy Joe Saunders … at the end of the day, I beat practically all of them,” Alvarez recently told a group of reporters. 

“If I beat Benavidez, they’re gonna say, ‘Oh, why don’t you face this other guy?’ Look at my history; I’ve done everything in boxing. I’ve done it all. In this moment, I’m the king and I can do whatever I want … I’m always here to make the best fights.”

3: Gervonta Davis vs. Devin Haney

Gervonta Davis and Devin Haney have been feuding back and forth online. The bickering is great and much needed to begin promoting a future fight, but the matchup must graduate from the keyboard into the squared circle. 

Davis, The Ring’s hard-punching No. 2-rated lightweight, has proven to be a box-office commodity and pay-per-view draw, while the skillful Haney, The Ring’s No. 1-rated junior welterweight, has stepped up to the occasion in beating the likes of Regis Prograis, Vasiliy Lomachenko and George Kambosos Jr. (twice) over the last two years. 

Several significant factors need to be ironed out for this fight to unfold. 

For starters, the weight at which the fight would be contested. Davis considers himself a lightweight and has little intention of moving up. Haney is the former undisputed lightweight champion who moved up to 140 pounds to fight Prograis; he weighed 165 pounds the day of the fight, and his days of making 135 pounds are long gone. In his last fight, Davis enforced a catchweight of 136 pounds with a 10-pound rehydration clause against Ryan Garcia. Davis had previously fought at 140 pounds, as well, when he stopped Mario Barrios in 2021. 

And then there is the big business behind the bout. 

Davis is already a bona fide attraction. Haney’s star hasn’t come close to reaching the level as Tank’s, as evidenced by the PPV figures and gates generated from his fights. Therefore, Davis will require a larger share of the pie and will likely dictate the terms around the weight as well as which platform the megafight will be staged on. 

Perhaps Haney should first fight Garcia, as is the plan for now, to further strengthen his negotiating power against Davis. 

It will be a long and drawn-out process, but once a deal is done, Davis vs. Haney will likely be the biggest promotion and event of the year, and the winner will emerge as the face of American boxing.

4: Naoya Inoue vs. Featherweight 

Naoya Inoue earned The Ring’s 2023 Fighter of the Year honors by scoring an eighth-round stoppage against Stephen Fulton in July and a 10th-round KO against Marlon Tapales in December. 

As a result, Inoue won the Ring Magazine junior featherweight championship and became an undisputed champion in a second division, having conquered 118 pounds last year (and this after also holding titles at 115 and 108).

Inoue next has his sights on The Ring’s No. 5-rated junior featherweight Luis Nery in May.

What should follow afterward, should he remain victorious, is a quest to become a five-division titlist at 126 pounds. 

Current beltholders Rey Vargas, Luis Alberto Lopez, and Rafael Espinoza appear to be tailor-made matchups for Inoue. Espinoza and Lopez are both tied to Top Rank and are feasible foes for Inoue in the second half of the year, should they both hold on to their titles.  

There appears to be no ceiling for the electrifying Inoue. Watching him prove his generational greatness time and time again should be cherished for as long as the 30-year-old chooses to grace the ring.

5: Shakur Stevenson vs. Vasiliy Lomachenko

This is the fight for the high-tech heads. 

It won’t cross over to attract mainstream masses and casuals like Davis-Haney will, but a showdown between southpaws Shakur Stevenson and Vasiliy Lomachenko will showcase the sweet science at its highest levels.

The technical tilt would pit standout amateurs, one already with a ticket stamped for the Hall of Fame and the other a few more big wins from doing the same. 

The matchup should come together fairly easily, because Stevenson and Lomachenko are both tied to Top Rank. 

Stevenson holds the WBC lightweight title and Lomachenko appears to be on track to try and get one of his own, as he’s slated to face George Kambosos Jr. in the spring in Australia for the vacant IBF belt. 

Lomachenko has insisted that lightweight is the division he’s most comfortable in, and Stevenson is already settled into the class with two fights at 135 pounds in 2023.

A fight in the fall of 2024 shouldn’t be farfetched.

6: Artur Beterbiev vs. Dmitry Bivol

The Ring’s 2022 Fighter of the Year, Dmitry Bivol, and Artur Beterbiev have been the kingpins of the light heavyweight division for over four years, but a fight between the Russians hasn’t come close to reaching the finish line. 

That appears to be finally changing in 2024.

Beterbiev will defend his WBO, WBC, and IBF titles against Callum Smith on January 13, and the winner will likely be placed front and center for the chance to become the division’s undisputed champion. These men currently occupy Nos. 1-3 in The Ring’s rankings. 

Bivol promoter Eddie Hean and Beterbiev promoter Bob Arum have both been publicly jockeying for position as to who’d be presenting the fight.

But in all likelihood, the Saudis will be tasked with funding the fight – one that they have shown a keen interest in staging.

7: Anthony Joshua vs. Deontay Wilder

Anthony Joshua had a resurgent 2023, capped off by a dominant turn-back-the-clock stoppage win against Otto Wallin. 

Deontay Wilder? Not so much. 

Joshua and Wilder co-headlined the “Day of Reckoning” card in Saudi Arabia on December 23, and while Joshua took care of business against Wallin, Wilder couldn’t hold up to his end of the bargain, dropping a one-sided unanimous decision to Joseph Parker. 

The master plan was for Joshua and Wilder to emerge victorious to set up a fight on March 9 in Saudi Arabia, but it proved to be the night two ships sailed in different directions. 

The fight between former heavyweight titlists is more than five years in the making, and there is no reason why it still can’t take place if the Saudis are interested in funding and staging the fight. 

Joshua and Wilder are still both down to do it too. 

Sure, it no longer carries the same significance, but renegotiations should be treated with a next-or-never approach – the clock is ticking for Wilder, 38, and Joshua, 34. 

Perhaps an acceptable consolation could be Joshua vs. Parker in a rematch of their 2018 fight (which Joshua won by a wide decision), and Wilder against Francis Ngannou, the latest darling that has entered the heavyweight picture.

8: Juan Francisco Estrada vs. Roman Gonzalez IV

Juan Francisco Estrada and Roman “Chocolatito” Gonzalez have given fans a thrilling trilogy of fights ever since they first faced each other in 2012.

Gonzalez scored a unanimous decision win in the first chapter during a 108-pound title fight. Estrada bounced back in the 2021 sequel by sneaking by with a split decision win at 115 pounds, and again in 2023 with a unanimous decision win at junior bantamweight. 

Each of the exciting tit-for-tat tilts has been razor-thin on the scorecards and fairly equal once the final punch stats have been tallied.

We’d likely witness 10 different results if they were to fight 10 more times. 

But how about a fourth fight first?

9: Jesse Rodriguez vs. Kazuto Ioka

Jesse Rodriguez proved he’s the real deal with his demolition job against Sunny Edwards in a flyweight title unification fight. But the boxer billed as “Bam” has also indicated he’s ready to return to 115 pounds. 

A bout against Juan Francisco Estrada could be likely, but an equally enticing slugfest could unfold if Rodriguez insists on challenging WBA junior bantamweight titlist Kazuto Ioka in Japan.

The storylines around that fight are strong. 

Last year, Ioka beat Rodriguez’s brother Joshua Franco into retirement with a unanimous decision win that followed their highly disputed 2022 majority draw.  

Rodriguez also has deep ties with Japanese promoter Akihiko Honda, the president of Teiken Promotions. Honda played a pivotal role in the development of Rodriguez’s career, and perhaps he can help make Rodriguez an international star by facilitating a big fight against Ioka.

And what better backdrop for Rodriguez than a fight in Japan as he looks to follow the footprints of Naoya Inoue and wipe out one weight class after the other?

10: Ryan Garcia vs. Teofimo Lopez

Oscar De La Hoya teased that a fight between Ryan Garcia and Teofimo Lopez Jr. could come during Super Bowl weekend in Las Vegas, but “The Takeover” will instead bring his act to Sin City against Jamaine Ortiz. 

Garcia returned to 140 pounds and stopped Oscar Duarte in December to bounce back from his lone career loss, a knockout defeat against Gervonta Davis last April.

Garcia and Lopez both have a laundry list of potential opponents they could be facing, but a fight against each other is one of the best that could be and should be pursued.

11: Jermell Charlo vs. Tim Tszyu

It was a forgettable year for Jermell Charlo. He stepped up two weight classes and lost a landslide unanimous decision against Canelo Alvarez in September, and he was arrested and charged with misdemeanor assault in December. 

Charlo, who holds the Ring Magazine title at 154 pounds, also can’t call himself the undisputed champion anymore, because the WBO elevated Tim Tszyu to full title status once Charlo chose to chase Alvarez, and in November, Charlo vacated his IBF title. 

Should Charlo want to resume his career at 154 pounds, the only fight that matters is the one against Tszyu. The two were supposed to fight in January 2022, but Charlo pulled out due to a broken left hand, and by the time he recovered, a fight with Alvarez was presented. 

Charlo must now fight through a broken spirit, while the ascending Tszyu has been pounding the table for a shot at the career-defining matchup.

12: Jermall Charlo vs. Caleb Plant

Jermall Charlo and Caleb Plant have already gotten into a non-sanctioned scrap – Plant popped Charlo backstage during a show last year. 

Now’s the time for them to get it on for real. 

The crafty Plant has proven he belongs on the big stage, but the former 168-pound titlist has fallen short in his two biggest opportunities, losing to Canelo Alvarez in 2021 and David Benavidez in March. 

Undefeated 160-pound WBC titlist Charlo, meanwhile, has been an enigma. He returned from a 29-month layoff after dealing with mental health issues in November but was 3½ pounds overweight for a 163-pound catchweight fight against Jose Benavidez Jr. 

He scored a unanimous decision and has since reignited his feud with Plant online. 

PBC needs to make the call and stage a super middleweight scrap between the bitter rivals.

13: Jaron Ennis vs. Eimantas Stanionis

It’s time for Jaron “Boots” Ennis to kick his career into second gear.

The welterweight phenom has pulverized everyone that’s stepped into his path, but the competition has been second-rate. 

The 26-year-old Ennis has now reached a precarious position.

Respected veterans like Errol Spence Jr. and Terence Crawford haven’t wanted to fight him in recent years because he’s a very high-risk-low-reward threat; credible challengers like Keith Thurman have demanded exorbitant paydays and have passed on the opportunity as well. 

Ennis has patiently waited to embrace all comers, and in the process, he’s become the latest “email champion” of the sport after the IBF stripped Crawford and elevated Ennis to its full beltholder status in November.

Ennis certainly has all of the skills to prove his ceiling in the ring, and since Eimantas Stanionis has called for all the smoke at 147 pounds as well – as evidenced by the Vergil Ortiz Jr. fight that never materialized – a matchup between unbeatens tied to PBC makes all the sense in the world.

14: Amanda Serrano vs. Katie Taylor II

Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano became the first females to headline a fight at Madison Square Garden for their undisputed lightweight championship fight in April 2022.

The public responded, as a sold-out crowd of 19,187 gathered to watch a Fight-of-the-Year contender. 

Taylor eked out a split decision win in the barnburner. A rematch was scheduled for May 20, 2023, in Dublin, but Serrano suffered an injury and the fight was canceled. 

Both fighters have since gone their separate ways.

Taylor kept the date originally saved for Serrano and wound up suffering her first career loss to undisputed junior welterweight champ Chantelle Cameron in May. She avenged the loss by beating Cameron in November. 

The Jake Paul-backed Serrano, meanwhile, has since returned to full strength and strung several wins together since the Taylor loss.

Serious momentum must build for a sequel in 2024 – it’s the most meaningful and lucrative fight either can ask for, and it should take place soon after the March 2 homecoming fight Serrano already has scheduled against Nina Meinke in Puerto Rico.

15: Claressa Shields vs. Savannah Marshall II

Another big fight and night for women’s boxing surrounds a sequel between Claressa Shields and Savannah Marshall.

Shields scored a unanimous decision win against Savannah Marshall in October 2022. The fight was competitive and close, as Shields outlanded Marshall 175 to 136. 

A rematch is warranted, especially since Marshall has bounced back with a win against Franchon Crews-Dezurn for the Ring Magazine super middleweight championship.

The Shields-Marshall fight headlined an all-women card at the O2 Arena in London, and there is no reason why a similar script can’t be followed in 2024.

16: Jaime Munguia vs. Edgar Berlanga

Take two popular fighters – one from Mexico, one from Puerto Rico, both undefeated, both with serious punching power and defensive flaws – and mix them in a pot, and you get what could be one of the most entertaining fights of the year. 

Super middleweight upstarts Jaime Munguia and Edgar Berlanga are both chasing a shot at Canelo Alvarez, but what they really should be doing is calling for a fight against each other. 

The winner would be sitting pretty to land a future fight against Alvarez, and Munguia vs. Berlanga would introduce an exciting new chapter to the rich history of Mexico vs. Puerto Rico fights. 

Neither fighter can sit around and just wait for the Alvarez opportunity – they must prove who wants it more. 

And if that doesn’t lure Canelo in, then Munguia and Berlanga should take a page out of David Benavidez’s book and beat everyone around them, much like Benavidez did with Caleb Plant and Demetrius Andrade in 2023, making it difficult for Alvarez to avoid the encounter.

17: Andy Ruiz Jr. vs. Zhilei Zhang

Arguably the biggest loser of 2023 was Andy Ruiz Jr. 

Instead of being one of the key heavyweights showcased during the “Day of Reckoning” show, Ruiz was relegated to a ringside seat as a guest. 

Ruiz has massively mismanaged his career and wasted prime years ever since beating Anthony Joshua for the heavyweight titles in June 2019, only to lose them six months later.

The 34-year-old has fought just twice since then. 

On the other hand, “Big Bang” Zhilei Zhang had a breakout year in 2023 at the age of 40 by scoring a pair of stoppage wins against Joe Joyce. 

The power players sitting in the top half of the heavyweight picture are currently tied up with other plans. 

That means Ruiz and Zhang need to stay busy and advance their careers by fighting each other, and the winner can further strengthen their hopes of a title shot later down the line. 

And what better setting than China for Zhang, the 2008 Beijing Olympics silver medalist, to headline a marquee event?

18: Vergil Ortiz Jr. vs. Jesus Ramos Jr. 

There might be a new player at 154 pounds, and his name is Vergil Ortiz Jr. 

The undefeated knockout artist has been dealing with serious health scares on and off for almost two years, and he’s fought just once since August 2021. 

Ortiz was supposed to fight Eimantas Stanionis, but the bout was scrapped after multiple postponements, and Ortiz opted not to continue his career ascent at welterweight anymore. 

He’s since reunited with trainer Robert Garcia and will look to get his 2024 campaign off to a strong start when he takes on Fredrick Lawson on January 6.

Once the 25-year-old Ortiz gets comfortable at the weight, he should fight southpaw slugger Jesus Ramos Jr. 

The 22-year-old Ramos dropped a highly disputed unanimous decision last year to Erickson Lubin. Although Ramos suffered a blemish on his record, his promising career didn’t lose its luster. 

Both fighters have already proven that they embrace being matched tough, and a bout between up-and-coming contenders would surely produce fireworks.

19: Jose Ramirez vs. Regis Prograis 

Jose Ramirez and Regis Prograis have been linked as potential opponents for the better part of five years, during which both held shares of the 140-pound championship.

But now, they are uncrowned contenders. Ramirez lost his two titles to eventual undisputed champion Josh Taylor in 2021. Prograis lost a title to Taylor as well in 2019 and regained another one in 2022, only to lose it to Devin Haney in a landslide unanimous decision this past December. 

After looking elsewhere for greener pastures, the two must now look at each other if they want to prove they have the makings to be a champion once again.

20: Subriel Matias vs. Rolando Romero 

This one should be fun for as long as it lasts.

Subriel Matias and Rolando Romero have a combined record of 35 wins, 33 KOs and 2 losses. 

Matias, the IBF junior welterweight titlist, has forced his last five opponents to quit, including Petros Anayan, who added the loss to Matias’ record by narrow decision in December 2020. 

WBA titlist Romero has been very vulnerable in his last five fights, landing two questionable wins and suffering a one-punch knockout loss to Gervonta Davis. 

Pit the PBC-affiliated fighters together, and you have one of the more entertaining matchups of 2024.

21: Josh Taylor vs. Giovani Santillan

Former undisputed champion Josh Taylor’s days at 140 pounds have been numbered for nearly two years now, and with a rematch against Jack Catterall nowhere in sight, it’s best for the “The Tartan Tornado” to try his hand at conquering a new weight class. 

The last time we saw Taylor, he looked sluggish in a loss to Teofimo Lopez. 

The last time we saw undefeated welterweight Giovani Santillan, he looked like a world-beater bludgeoning and stopping Alexis Rocha inside six rounds.

Taylor and Santillan are both tied to Top Rank, so they can take a serious step in making the tussle a reality – it’s one that Santillan has already called for. 

Santillan and Taylor both possess a crowd-pleasing style, and a meeting would surely produce a scintillating slugfest that could possibly take place exclusively in the middle of the ring, with the winner emerging as a new 147-pound power player.

22: Jai Opetaia vs. Cruiserweight

The cruiserweight class has lost some luster ever since Oleksandr Usyk stepped up to heavyweight, but Ring Magazine champion Jai Opetaia appears ready to inject some star power back into the division. Stripped by the IBF for taking a career-high payday rather than continue waiting for a mandated rematch with an injured Mairis Briedis, the 28-year-old Australian chose to proudly defend the Ring belt against Ellis Zorro, whom he destroyed inside one round during the “Day of Reckoning” on December 23.

Opetaia beat Briedis in June 2022 and should be gunning for the likes of Gilberto Ramirez and beltholders Noel Mikaelyan, Arsen Goulamirian and Chris Billam-Smith to further climb up the pound-for-pound list.

Promoter Eddie Hearn needs to work with the competition to present Opetaia with the opportunities that will further catapult his career.

23: Emanuel Navarrete vs. Isaac Cruz vs. William Zepeda

Mix and match as you prefer between this trio of power-punching Mexicans. 

It will require some cross-company work to get Emanuel Navarrete (Top Rank), Isaac Cruz (Premier Boxing Champions), and William Zepeda (Golden Boy) into the ring against each other, but if deals can get done, guaranteed fireworks will ensue. 

Cruz can’t just keep waiting for a Gervonta Davis rematch, a meeting with Shakur Stevenson is unlikely for Zepeda, and with Navarrete destined for a run at 135 pounds sometime soon, bring them all together for a boom-or-bust battle royale.

24: Gennadiy Golovkin farewell fight

Where have you gone, Gennadiy Golovkin? The boxing nation turns its lonely eyes to you. 

Triple G has not fought since losing to Canelo Alvarez in a September 2022 trilogy fight. 

Golovkin stepped up to 168 pounds to face his archrival and has since vacated the middleweight titles he held instead of moving forward with mandatory defenses. 

He’s also turning 42 years old in April and has mostly kept a low profile since the defeat to Alvarez. But the Kazakh KO artist has not officially retired, and if he still has one more fight left in him, he should hand-pick any opponent he wants for the swan song. 

Golovkin can face fellow aging fighters like Erislandy Lara, Chris Eubank Jr. and Jermall Charlo, or even give a shot to undefeated upstarts like Edgar Berlanga, Jaime Munguia and David Benavidez to bank one last major fight and payday before officially riding off into the sunset and the International Boxing Hall of Fame.
