Now, we delve into the last four months of the year, with anticipation for the upcoming matchups.\n\n\n

Upcoming Fights: A Detailed Analysis<\/h2>\n\n\nTerence Crawford will seek to become undisputed champion in three divisions by moving up two weight classes to face Canelo \u00c1lvarez at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas on September 13. While the boxing world awaits this historic matchup, the sport continues its course.\n\n\n

Possible Matchups and Surprises<\/h2>\n\n\nManny Pacquiao could challenge welterweight champion Rolando “Rolly” Romero before the end of the year. Pacquiao proved his worth at 46 and is looking for a new challenge. Sean Gibbons, Pacquiao’s manager, suggests this fight, which could generate great interest.\n\n

If history is what Pacquiao desires, he should seek a fight with WBA champion, “Rolly” Romero.<\/p>Sean Gibbons<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\nThere is also the possibility of Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul facing each other in 2026. Although Joshua seems to be at a higher level, a fight with Paul presents a high-yield opportunity with low risk. Paul will need to gain muscle mass for the fight, while Joshua could have a first fight after his surgery.\n\nGervonta Davis, after his draw with Lamont Roach in March, might not fight again this year. Davis has had legal troubles and has hinted at his retirement. He is likely to take a break and assess his options for a possible return in early 2026.\n\n

\"Gervonta
Gervonta Davis’ latest brush with the law ended with a dropped charge, but would it be a surprise if he sits out the rest of the year?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\nAmanda Serrano, after a brilliant career, could retire. Serrano, 37, could have her last fight, possibly against Tiara Brown or Ellie Scotney. Although there is also the possibility that she will continue her career.\n\nClaressa Shields could collaborate with Jake Paul. Shields, undisputed women’s middleweight champion, could find in Paul an opportunity to boost her career. A fight with Shadasia Green, promoted by Paul, would be a lucrative option.\n\n
\"Claressa
Surprise, surprise, the next challenge for Claressa Shields could come via Jake Paul’s promotional company.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\nTerence Crawford could defeat Canelo \u00c1lvarez. Despite doubts about Crawford’s ability to face Canelo, his strategy and precision could be key. Canelo, with a lower punch volume, could be vulnerable to Crawford’s counterattacks.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
