The boxing calendar is loading up quickly for 2026. After a quick start to the year in January and February, tons of fights have been unveiled for spring … and a major one in September.

The early highlight of the schedule was Shakur Stevenson’s domination of Teofimo Lopez Jr. to win the WBO junior welterweight championship. It was a true pound-for-pound performance from Stevenson, who won nearly every second of a fight against the most dangerous foe of his career.

On Feb. 21, Ryan Garcia picked up the biggest win of his career, becoming world champion for the first time when he defeated Mario Barrios for the WBC welterweight title.

February closes with an exciting clash between Emanuel Navarrete and Eduardo Nunez to unify their titles at junior lightweight. As the calendar turns to March, Zuffa Boxing returns with the world’s top cruiserweight, Jai Opetaia, making his promotional debut in a fight with Brandon Glanton for the inaugural Zuffa Boxing cruiserweight title.

There are many other title fights, featuring top fighters, which have created a very intriguing kickoff to the sport for 2026, though a rematch of one of history’s biggest fights is already set for November when Floyd Mayweather runs it back with Manny Pacquiao.

Take a look at the calendar for 2026 below.
