The 2026 boxing calendar is hitting summer with some great fights on the books
We’re in the home stretch of 2026 with just a few months left in the year. But there’s still plenty of good fights on the horizon for boxing fans.Â
Rising heavyweight contender Moses Itauma is set to make his return on Aug. 29 when he takes on former title challenger Filip Hrgovic in London. At just 21, many are predicting Itauma to become the new face of the heavyweight division sooner than later.Â
All eyes head to Las Vegas on Sept. 12 for an epic showdown under the Zuffa Boxing banner when WBC welterweight champion Ryan Garcia looks to defend his title against Conor Benn in an epic main event. Also on that card, Jai Opetaia defends his Zuffa cruiserweight title against WBC champion Noel Mikaelian.
Then on Halloween, Canelo Alvarez makes his return to the ring for the first time in over a year when he takes on Christian Mbili for the WBC super middleweight title in Saudi Arabia.
