That being said, there are plenty of fights coming up this year that are sure to get fight fans hyped.

Unfortunately, one major bout that has been called off and won’t be discussed below is the rematch between Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano. The two were set to meet on May 20 but Serrano has suffered an injury that has caused that date to be canceled. That being said, according to reports the two sides are still discussing looking for a possible date later on this year to have a rematch of their fantastic fight in 2022 at Madison Square Garden. Taylor will enter their eventual rematech with a 22-0 record while Serrano will boast a 44-2-1 record. If that fight is even half as good as the first, fans are in for a real treat.

Jake Paul vs Nate Diaz

Jake Paul vs Nate Diaz

That being said, this flight is set to take place at 185 pounds and will be an eight round fight that will be distributed throughout the world by DAZN.

This is a highly anticipated fight. It will be Diaz’ first boxing match, but the 38-year old MMA fighter out of Stockton, California is 22-13 when it comes to MMA.

He has picked up wins in his career over Youtuber AnEsonGib, former NBA star Nate Robinson, former MMA stars in Ben Askren and Tyron Woodley.

David Benivdez vs Demetrious “Boo Boo” Andrade

One potential fight to keep a very close eye on is that of Demetrius “Boo Boo” Andrade vs David Benivdez. Andrade owns a 32-0 career record and is coming off a unanimous decision win over Demond Nicholson in Washington DC earlier this year. The current WBO middleweight champion has retained his title five times since winning it in 2018 in a fight over Walter Kautondokwa. Benivdez like Andrade would enter any fight undefeated, as he just defeated Caleb Plant in an unanimous decision on March 25 to retain his WBC interim super middleweight title. Benivdez is 27-0 in his career. While this match is still likely a long way off, it is one we could see in the final months of 2023 as both fighters have publicly stated they would like to fight.
