There is real potential for some of the biggest fights in boxing to be made over the next 12 months, with massive bouts involving the heavyweight title and more on the table.
However, such is the way of the sport that we will almost certainly have to sit through a few wacky match-ups to get to the big fights that we want to see. For example, it's likely that we're going to end up with an Anthony Joshua fight that nobody wants before we get to his bouts with Dillian Whyte or Deontay Wilder.
And there's no doubt that one of Errol Spence or Terence Crawford will try to squeeze out one more payday before they move on to the undisputed fight, if that's even on the table. We've already seen Crawford paid a monstrous purse to fight David Avanesyan, so expect a few more like that before we ever get undisputed.
