BOXING has taken its fair share of punishment this year – but the sport is set to finish 2020 with a bang as a raft of massive bouts are yet to come.
Anthony Joshua takes on Kubrat Pulev in December, defending his WBA, WBO and IBF heavyweight world titles, while Errol Spence Jr faces Danny Garcia in a tough fight just a year after his horror Ferrari crash.
