Boxing continues to deliver some massive moments and fights in 2022. After a strong start to the year, things have dramatically picked up over the spring and now the sport heads into a long stretch loaded with big fights nearly every week.
The year has already seen major moments like Errol Spence Jr. dominating Yordenis Ugas to unify three of boxing’s four world championships at welterweight. Tyson Fury also recently returned to the ring for what may be the last time as he knocked out Dillian Whyte in London.
The biggest of all, however, may have come in May when Canelo Alvarez failed in his bid to become WBA light heavyweight champion against Dmitry Bivol. The undisputed super middleweight champion was unable to present much of a challenge to the Russian titleholder as he landed a career low in punches over 12 rounds. Now, it’s unclear what the next step will be for Alvarez.

As we move into the rest of May, Showtime Boxing takes center stage. An undisputed champion at super welterweight is expected to be crowned when Jermell Charlo takes on Brian Castaño from Los Angeles on May 14. The two threw down last summer in a fight when felt Castaño had done enough to win but resulted in a split draw.
Plus, Gervonta “Tank” Davis will finally throw down with Rolando “Rolly” Romero on May 28 from Brooklyn, New York when the two meet on Showtime PPV.
