There are plenty of reasons to be excited about boxing in 2019 with some of the world’s hottest names gearing up for major fights.
Anthony Joshua – and the rest of the boxing world – was left stunned by his defeat to outsider Andy Ruiz Jr in June, and he will be gunning to reclaim his belts as soon as possible in a rematch.
But there are plenty of terrific fights to be aired every week, aside from mega-bouts involving the likes of Joshua.
The UK boxing scene has plenty of talented stars capable of lighting up arenas across the country.
Sky Sports and BT Sport have picked up the rights to many big nights of boxing – but what do they have to offer this week?
