Boxing fans know that feeling when a stacked fight card drops and you start circling dates on your calendar. This season’s SFFareBoxing lineup is one of those rare moments where nearly every weekend delivers something worth clearing your schedule for. We’re talking championship rematches, rising stars looking to prove themselves, and established names defending their legacy.
The next few months will separate pretenders from contenders across multiple weight classes. Whether you follow the technical brilliance of super lightweight contests or prefer the raw power of heavyweight slugfests, there’s genuinely something here that’ll get your adrenaline going.
February 14, 2025: Berinchyk vs. Davis – Lightweight Title on Valentine’s Day
Valentine’s Day might be reserved for romance in most households, but boxing fans have other plans. Denys Berinchyk squares off against Keyshawn Davis for the WBO lightweight title at The Theater at Madison Square Garden in New York City. ESPN will broadcast this one live, so you won’t miss a second of what promises to be a fascinating stylistic matchup.
Berinchyk has built his reputation on relentless pressure and technical precision. He doesn’t give opponents much room to breathe, constantly working angles and breaking down defenses over twelve rounds. Davis, on the other hand, represents the new generation of American boxing talent—fast hands, sharp footwork, and a boxing IQ that’s advanced for someone still relatively early in their professional career.
The contrast in styles makes this fight particularly intriguing. Davis will likely try to use his speed advantage and keep Berinchyk at range, picking his spots with precision combinations. Berinchyk’s gameplan probably involves cutting off the ring and forcing Davis into exchanges where experience matters more than youth. It’s the kind of chess match that hardcore fans appreciate, even if it doesn’t produce a spectacular knockout.
February 15, 2025: Barboza Takes on Catterall in Manchester
Less than 24 hours after the lightweight showdown in New York, the action shifts across the Atlantic. Arnold Barboza faces Jack Catterall in a super lightweight bout at Co-op Live in Manchester, UK, with DAZN handling the broadcast. This fight carries significant implications for both men’s careers, particularly for Catterall, who’s been vocal about needing a defining victory.
Catterall’s situation is interesting because he’s talented enough to compete with anyone in the division but hasn’t quite gotten that signature win that pushes him into elite territory. Barboza presents a serious challenge—he’s got excellent ring movement and defensive skills that can frustrate aggressive fighters. Expect a strategic battle where both men try to impose their gameplan without taking unnecessary risks.
The Manchester crowd will undoubtedly create an electric atmosphere, which could work in Catterall’s favor if he feeds off that energy. But Barboza has fought on the road before and won’t be intimidated by a hostile environment. This is one of those fights where technical adjustments between rounds could determine the outcome more than any single moment of brilliance.
February 22, 2025: The Biggest Night in SFFareBoxing
Circle this date in red ink because February 22nd is absolutely stacked with championship boxing. Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia hosts what might be the boxing event of the year, headlined by Artur Beterbiev versus Dmitry Bivol 2 for the undisputed light heavyweight championship. Their first encounter had fans debating the outcome for weeks afterward, and this rematch should settle any remaining questions about who truly rules the division.
Beterbiev brings terrifying knockout power—he’s one of those rare fighters where you genuinely feel the impact of his punches through your television screen. Bivol counters with superior technical boxing and movement that’s made him incredibly difficult to hit cleanly. The first fight showcased both men’s strengths, and expect them to make adjustments based on what they learned last time.
But that’s not even the only major fight that night. Daniel Dubois defends his IBF heavyweight title against Joseph Parker in what could be a genuine barnburner. Dubois has the youth and punching power, while Parker brings experience and durability that’s been tested against the best heavyweights in the world. Neither man is particularly known for boring fights, so this should deliver action from the opening bell.
The card also features Shakur Stevenson taking on Floyd Schofield for the WBC lightweight title. Stevenson’s defensive mastery makes him one of the most frustrating opponents in boxing, but Schofield represents a legitimate test with the kind of aggressive style that could create problems. DAZN subscribers are getting tremendous value with this triple-header of championship bouts.
March 1, 2025: Gervonta Davis Returns to Brooklyn
Gervonta “Tank” Davis stepping back into the ring is always an event, and his March 1st showdown with Lamont Roach for the WBA lightweight title at Barclays Center should be no exception. Davis has built a reputation as one of boxing’s most explosive punchers, possessing that rare combination of speed, timing, and sheer power that can end fights in an instant.
Roach faces a monumental challenge here. Surviving Davis’s early onslaught requires more than just skill—it demands incredible mental toughness and the ability to stay composed when danger is constantly present. If Roach can weather the storm and take Davis into deeper waters, we might see something interesting unfold. Davis hasn’t always been tested in the championship rounds, and Roach is durable enough to potentially force him there.
Amazon Prime and PPV.com will stream this event live, which also features Alberto Puello defending his WBC junior welterweight title against Sandor Martin. Martin is a crafty veteran who’s caused problems for younger, more athletic opponents before, so don’t sleep on that co-feature.
March 15, 2025: Ball vs. Doheny Closes Out the Season
The final major fixture brings us to Liverpool, where Nick Ball defends his WBA featherweight title against TJ Doheny at M&S Bank Arena. TNT Sports will broadcast what should be an entertaining scrap between two fighters with contrasting styles and career trajectories.
Ball has emerged as one of the more exciting featherweights in recent years, with genuine knockout power and an aggressive style that keeps opponents on the defensive. Doheny, however, has been around long enough to handle pressure fighters. He’s got the experience and ring IQ to potentially frustrate Ball’s aggressive approach, especially if he can establish his jab early and control distance.
The Liverpool crowd will be firmly in Ball’s corner, creating an atmosphere that could influence the judges if this goes to the scorecards. But Doheny didn’t travel all this way to play the role of opponent—he’ll be looking to spoil the home crowd’s night and claim championship gold for himself.
