The start of a new calendar year often means a slowdown for the sport of boxing. That is not the case for 2026, as the schedule is loaded with intriguing fights in January and February.
The current highlight of the schedule is the Jan. 31 clash between WBO junior welterweight champion Teofimo Lopez and three-division champion Shakur Stevenson. New York will be rocking for one of the biggest fights between young American stars in recent memory.
Plus, as the calendar turns to February, there are a few Zuffa Boxing events worth keeping an eye on. Feb. 1 sees Zuffa Boxing 02 where junior welterweights Jose Valenzuela and Diego Torres are set to headline. That card also sees the return of top contender Serhii Bohachuk when he takes on Radzhab Butaev and former light heavyweight champion Oleksandr Gvozdyk is back to face Radivoje Kalajdzic.
Then near the end of the month, a DAZN PPV is set with a terrific welterweight title main event. Champion Mario Barrios is set to defend his belt against Ryan Garcia in a fight sure to deliver on action.
There are many other title fights, featuring top fighters, which have created a very intriguing kickoff to the sport for 2026.
Take a look at the calendar for 2026 below.
