Boxing schedule for 2026: Sebastian Fundora vs. Keith Thurman, Deontay Wilder vs. Derek Chisora on tap
The 2026 boxing calendar is getting off to a surprisingly quick start

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 announced 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.
As we head to mid-March, all eyes are turned to a WBC junior middleweight title fight between champion Sebastian Fundora and former world champ Keith Thurman on March 28. That fight comes one week after Carlos Adames will put the WBC middleweight belt on the line against Austin "Ammo" Williams.
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.
Note: This will be updated constantly with changes and additions.
