Top 5 Boxing Matchups to Look Out for in 2020


Lomachenko v Lopez - lightweight

Lomachenko
 
A fight that has been proposed and put off several times already, Lomachenko v Lopez would see a classic matchup of agility against power. The Ukrainian Lomachenko is one of the most agile boxers the sport has ever seen with extraordinary footwork and instinctive head and upper body movement. Lomachenko also has a staggering amateur record of 396 wins with just one defeat, and a professional record that has seen him win world titles in three weight classes. However, Lopez is unfazed with Lomachenko’s legend. The 22-year-old American is known to be one of the most powerful punchers in the lightweight division, a skillset that could prove to offer an interesting matchup against Lomachenko’s agility.
 

Pacquiao v Spence Jr. - welterweight


Pacquiao
 
Despite being 41 years old Manny Pacquiao continues to surprise raking up victories over Adrien Broner and Keith Thurman last year. The question is, what’s next for the Pac Man? We’d love to see him taken on the undefeated welterweight Errol Spence Jr. 30-year-old Spence Jr. is undefeated with a record of 21 knockouts from 26 wins. Having now recovered from a horrific car accident last year, Spence Jr. is back to his prime and Pacquiao seems the ideal matchup.
 

Joshua v Fury - heavyweight


Joshua
 
After Fury convincingly defeated Wilder last month to win the WBC and vacant The Ring earlier this year, boxing fans immediately starting to anticipate a Joshua v Fury matchup. It would be a matchup of two of the most exciting fighters in boxing right now and with the litany of titles in the mix, a Joshua v Fury fight this year would be a gift to fight fans. If it does happen, we’re unlikely to see until late in the year.

Dubois v Joyce - heavyweight


Dubois
 
The Dubois v Joyce matchup set for April 11 in London will see two undefeated big men on the cusp of earning title fight go to war. With the likes of Fury and Joshua and now Dubois and Joyce, many are hoping 2020 will be the start of a new golden age for the heavyweight division. In addition to the Dubois and Joyce being an anticipated fight in itself, it could also set up something exciting against other notable heavyweights like Andy Ruiz Jr., and Joseph Parker.
 

Inoue v Casimero - bantamweight


Inoue
 
The only other fight on the list currently confirmed, Naoya Inoue and John Riel Casimero ae scheduled to meet in Las Vegas on April 25. Out of the list, this may be the most exciting for both casual and hardcore boxing fans alike. A meeting of two champions with the victor set to sit atop the bantamweight division, the fight is expected to be a high-powered gunfight from the first bell.
