Boxing is heating up this summer with a packed schedule, gaining momentum since June and intensifying in July. Katie Taylor successfully defended her undisputed junior welterweight title by defeating Amanda Serrano in their trilogy at Madison Square Garden. Shakur Stevenson kept his title intact after besting William Zepeda, and Hamza Ciaraz emerged as the top super middleweight contender following Edgar Berlanga’s TKO.
July 19th promises even more excitement with a thrilling doubleheader. First, unified heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk aims to even his score to 2-2 against Daniel Dubois in their London rematch. The initial fight earlier this year sparked controversy, with Dubois’s team disputing the knockout call, though video evidence showed the decisive punch was legal. Following that, eight-division world champion Manny Pacquiao will make his return to the ring in Las Vegas, challenging WBC welterweight champion Mario Barrios. Pacquiao, now 46, hasn’t fought since his 2021 loss to Yordenis Ugas for the WBA title.
The summer boxing season is expected to culminate on September 13th with a highly anticipated bout between Canelo Alvarez and Terrence Crawford at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. Below is a 2025 boxing calendar highlighting key fights and venues.
