The immediate fight that comes in to mind is Mauricio Lara vs Leigh Wood 2. The first fight was epic and I’m sure it would be a sell-out again in Nottingham. I’d like to see Leigh regain his title and become a two-time champ.

It would have to be Josh Taylor vs Jack Catterall. The first fight was so controversial and the majority of boxing people believed that Catterall was hard done-by from the judges. It would be a good way to show the boxing fans that it was either a bad day at the office for Taylor and that he took Catterall lightly, or that Jack Catterall is simply the better fighter and has Josh’s number.

There are a few good rematches I’d like to see again. Personally, though, and not just because she’s a stablemate of mine, I’d love to see the Tasha Jonas and Katie Taylor rematch. There’s both amateur and professional history there – two great and very close fights – and there would be plenty on the line. I really hope that rematch can be made this year.

There’s quite a few for me but I think Dmitry Bivol against Canelo Alvarez carries the most intrigue. Can Canelo conquer a true light-heavyweight champion or is the size just too much for even a man of his talent? I’d want to see it at light-heavyweight as I don’t think it is fair for Bivol to be brought down to super-middleweight.
