Former absolute light heavyweight champion Artur Beterbiev, 2020 Olympic champion and ex-temporary WBA super featherweight champion Albert Batyrgaziev and bronze medalist of the 2020 Games and 2023 World Championships Imam Khataev, in a conversation with Match TV, named American Terence Crawford the best boxer of 2025.
In 2025, Crawford defeated Mexican Saul Alvarez by unanimous decision, becoming the undisputed super middleweight champion. Prior to this, the American was the absolute champion in the junior welterweight and welterweight divisions, and also became the champion in the lightweight and junior middleweight divisions. In early December, the boxer was stripped of his WBC super middleweight belt due to non-payment of championship fees. At the end of December, 38-year-old Crawford announced his retirement from the sport. He scored 42 victories in 42 fights (31 knockouts) and left the ring undefeated.
The top three of Artur Beterbiev are as follows:
1. Terence Crawford;
2. Naoya Inoue;
3. Devin Haney.
Albert Batyrgaziev’s top three:
1. Terence Crawford;
2. Muslim Gadzhimagomedov;
3. Sharabutdin Ataev.

3. Dmitry Bivol.

“The grappling match with Makhachev will not take place, because Islam earns a lot of money in the UFC” – Tsarukyan
UFC lightweight number one Arman Tsarukyan said that he does not yet consider a potential grappling fight with the promotion’s welterweight champion Islam Makhachev to be realistic.
On Tuesday, Tsarukyan and Sharabutdin Magomedov, known by his nickname Shara Bullet, ended in a draw in a grappling bout in Yerevan.
— The grappling match with Makhachev will not take place, because Islam earns a lot of money in the UFC. I don’t think anyone can afford to pay him that amount,” Red Corner MMA quotes Tsarukyan as saying.

Former world heavyweight champion, British Tyson Rage I am sure that WBC champion Oleksandr Usyk will leave his belt vacant due to the lack of interesting opponents:
“Usyk will not fight opponents ranked in the WBC because it is impossible to make good money from these fights. How much money will he make by fighting Agit Kabayel or Lawrence Okolie?”
Frankly, these are insufficient. After making a ton of money fighting Tyson Fury, you don’t want to go back to fights that have no financial benefit.
Usik will therefore give up his WBC title and Agit Kabayel will become the full world champion. He will be able to defend against (German boxer) Okolie or Moses Itauma,” Fury said on the DAZN platform.
Kabayel’s next opponent will be Poland’s undefeated representative Damian Knyba. The fight for the WBC interim title will take place in Germany on January 10.
