ill have to start it off with the biggest of them all... Anthony Joshua - looks like a big year for the champ. Parker, Wilder, Fury/Povetkin? Make or break. Tyson Fury - The comeback is on or is it? It’s over to you now. Chris Eubank - love him or hate (or his dad) he’s an exciting fighter and he’s in a fight of the year vs Groves and then possibly Smith. Callum Smith - I think he’s the dark horse of the tournament now, somehow as he was odds on favourite to start with. I think he walks through Braemer and then takes on Groves/Eubank at Anfield (Sneaky suspicion) in May. Daniel Dubois - Deadly/Dynamite let’s see how his journey progresses. Josh Taylor - big year for the wee lad. World title fights on the horizon. Josh Kelly - exciting. my only hope is that he doesn’t get fast tracked. Anthony Yarde - can’t wait for him to actually fight someone and see what he’s about. A top 15 fighter or even a Burton or Buglioni. Bellew / Haye - hopefully/thankfully this circus act should be drawing to a close. Luke Campbell - as someone said in a different thread Eddie hasn’t done the greatest of jobs with Luke but he’s took himself away and he’s worked hard and in that Linares fight although he started slow you could see it. I think there’s bigger and better things to come from him. Honourable mention to the youngsters - Barrett, Fowler, Buatsi, Catterall, Hutchinson.
Im looking forward to how Dubois progresses, he looks like a wrecking machine. So solid for a 20 year old lad and I think he is almost ready to challenge for domestic titles or even the commonwealth. I hope Lawrence Okolie proves me wrong, I have been to first to poke fun at the lad but I genuinely wish him all the best. Eubank Jr moves into a P4P posistion if he wins the super 6 - time will reveal all. The return of Tyson Fury will no doubt be entertaining and the great thing about Tyson is anything could happen. Also a big year for Joshua who could become an all time great. So many variables and possible outs it will be a great year for British boxing.
I want to see Paul Smith get another shot at a world title in 2018, I think we all know he deserves it...
I'm looking forward to seeing Kalle Sauerland's interviews as always. I'm interested to see how Taylor and Joyce progress, and the much needed expansion of small hall shows being televised in the UK.
