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 ended the British boxing year by knocking out Kubrat Pulev in the 9th round of their Wembley Arena clash.
There’s still plenty to come stateside, with both Canelo Alvarez and Gennady Golovkin in action.
And if that wasn’t enough, 2021 gets off to a cracker as Ryan Garcia faces Brit Luke Campbell.
