February 22nd, 2025: Artur Beterbiev vs. Dmitry Bivol 2
Artur Beterbiev vs. Dmitry Bivol 1 was a closely contested bout in which Artur Beterbiev won by Majority Decision for the undisputed Light Heavyweight titles, and the decision has been highly questioned with many people believing that Dmitry Bivol should’ve won the fight. The second fight should be just as entertaining as the first one, with both bringing their absolute A game.
The Co-Main is an exciting Heavyweight IBF title between IBF Heavyweight Champ Daniel Dubious and WBO Interim Heavyweight Champ Joseph Parker. Both are big, heavy hitters that promise an entertaining fire fight.
Below Dubious and Parker is Shakur Stevenson putting his WBC Lightweight title on the line against Floyd Schofield.

March 1st, 2025: Gervonta Davis vs. Lamont Roach
One of the biggest matches to start off 2025, the WBA Lightweight champion Gervonta Davis will face off against the WBA Super Featherweight champion Lamont Roach. Gervonta propelled into superstardom after TKO’ing Ryan Garcia in the seventh round in 2023. Gervonta holds a record of 30-0-0 with 28 KO/TKO’s, and Lamont has a record of 25-1-1 with 10 KO/TKO’s.
As far as I’m aware the only fight on the card is the headliner, which is:
