The 2026 boxing calendar is hitting summer with some great fights on the books
We’re well into the second half of 2026, but the boxing schedule is not slowing down. In fact, there are some very big fights set for the end of summer and the fall.
The boxing world was almost turned upside down in May when unified heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk nearly lost to kickboxer Rico Verhoeven before pulling out a controversial late stoppage victory.
In July, two former heavyweight champions will step back into the ring in tune-up fights before hopefully finally facing off later in the year. Former unified heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua makes his return against Kristian Prenga, with Tyson Fury taking his own tune-up against Mariusz Wach one day earlier.
Also in July, former unified welterweight king Errol Spence makes his return against Tim Tszyu in Australia.
Then, in August, Rolando “Rolly” Romero will defend his WBA welterweight title against Teofimo Lopez Jr.
Saul “Canelo” Alvarez is also set for a return to action in September, when he faces WBC super middleweight champion Christian Mbilli. The same day as Alvarez’s return, Ryan Garcia will defend his WBC welterweight title against Conor Benn.
Take a look at the calendar for 2026 below.
