2021 was a wild year in the boxing ring with some shocking upsets and iconic moments that will live forever in the sport’s lore. This year is shaping up to provide more of the same, with Mark Magsayo already providing one big upset, taking down Gary Russell Jr. and capturing the WBC featherweight title on Jan. 22.

Plus, former unified welterweight champion Keith Thurman returned in February to sore a solid win over rising contender Mario Barrios. Thurman hopes to get back into title contention with Errol Spence Jr., Terence Crawford and Yordenis Ugas all potential targets to get more gold around his waist.

It’s been a solid start to the year, but things will continue to pick up with some fights that are all but guaranteed to happen.
