Probably Fury vs Usyk and Crawford vs Spence get made. These bouts entered the 'now or never' status and such opportunities can't be lost.

Eubank v Smith and Beterbiev v Yarde to both be excellent fights to start off the year.

Very hard to predict. Last year threw up a couple of great fights: Joyce vs Parker and Joshua vs Uysk 2, but also failed to deliver lots of big fights and we had the Benn vs Eubank Jnr fiasco.

At this stage, it's hard to know if the really big fights will come off.

Of the fights confirmed, I think Eubank Jnr beats Smith in a very entertaining scrap, and I think Beterbiev will be too much for Yarde and stop him inside 6 rounds.

Fury finds a way out of fighting Usyk ,, ends up with Price and Haye instead , claiming there the great fights the British public really want

Wilder at the end of the year is still talking he wants AJ and still swerving Ruiz ,

AJ is still looking for a trainer that will do has he's told and join him on the fashion show circuit.

Spence and Crawford are still avoiding each other and Boots Enniss

Boots gets sick of being avoided and goes to 154 , So Charlo with his hands all fixed has some kittens and then starts to avoid Boots with every excuse possible

Boots still needs to fight , so just starts beating up on all the English men brave enough to fight him.

2023 is really just like 2022

AJ-Hrgovic will happen for the full IBF world title.

Lawrence Okolie makes his heavyweight debut at year's end against Joe Parker.

Makabu loses to Mikaeylan.

Errol Spence retires from boxing after a late stoppage defeat to Crawford (bout won't be for undisputed, maybe at a catchweight)

Callum Smith drops Beterbiev.

Haney gets buzzed badly by Lomachenko whilst dropping a competitive decision.

Prograis continues to be avoided by the Top Rank stable.

Sunny Edwards finally fights, and beats, JCM.

I think he might fight Joshua this year but 100% don't think he fancies boxing Uysk. It's screaming silence from his side and, surely they would need a certain amount of time to promote the fight and sell tickets etc.

Joshua Buatsi will get a soft opponent for a world title. The WBC will disgrace themselves with Conor Benn.

Interesting - Why do you think Okolie will have a disaster? (For upsetting Eddie Hearn?

:o )
