How will the Heavyweight Division match up in 2026?

Welcome to the Fight Night Podcast with Dave Farrar, alongside former European champion Spencer Oliver. This week, we’re looking ahead to what could be a defining year for boxing, starting with the heavyweight division. How does the landscape shape up in 2026? And what’s next for the likes of Oleksandr Usyk, Fabio Wardley, and Tyson Fury as the division continues to evolve? We’re also joined by one of the sport’s rising talents, Fran Hennessey. She’s on the show to discuss her upcoming clash with Ellie Bouttell, the significance of this fight, and where she feels she’s heading at this stage of her career. With 2025 drawing to a close, Spencer and I compare our Top 10 pound-for-pound lists - debating the rankings, the big movers, and the fighters who just miss out. And finally, we look ahead to 2026. What are the fights we want to see made? Thank you for listening - and don’t forget to subscribe to the talkSPORT Boxing YouTube channel for all our daily content.
