    Since mid-2023 we've had

    2 fights in July: Anderson vs Martin and Mak vs Akpejiori
    6! fights in August: Joshua vs Helenius, Chisora vs Washington, Hrgovic vs McKean, Ajagba vs Kossobutskiy, Anderson vs Rudenko and Usyk vs Dubois
    3 fights in September: Zhang vs Joyce, Gassiev vs Wallin, Sanchez vs Alexander

    October looks quite stacked with the "all-heavy Fury Ngannou undercard":

    Fury - Ngannou
    Bakole - Takam
    Adeleye - Wardley
    Parker - Kean
    Makhmudov - Smakici

    Then we also have Huni vs Tabiti on the same night, different place

    November has Ajagba - Goodall and a couple more minor fights
    December has Tony Yoka - Ryad Merhy

    December/January has Fury - Usyk (finally?) and apparently it's rumored that we may see (if they win), a Bakole - Mak fight (would be fireworks) on the undercard.

    There are a couple more fights but are not that big.


    Where is Wilder?

    Yes they have woken up after a 1000 years and they are here now to lay down their despotic rule of wickedness and darkness.

    Woken up? No, when I see Fury vs Usyk and Wilder vs Joshua with the winners colliding then it will have woken up. Till then it's still in a coma.

    Has been a disastrous year but hopefully 2024 will be a lot better.

    Not taking too seriously the Saud card. Wardley Adeleye is the pick but the Lonsdale belt isn't even on the line. The rest are fairly predictable. If they made Bakole Makhmudov that would be different but they're facing fairly routine opposition

    I don't count crushing a can as waking up, but there are some decent fights. Usyk-Fury will be monumental if it happens, obviously.
