So far, too many of the main attractions have been either absent or they have fought just once this year. It is not a crisis yet but it is being talked about in boxing’s corridors.
Katie Taylor fights next week in Texas for the first time in 2024, Savannah Marshall has not fought since July 2023 and there are no plans to get her back in a boxing ring, having experimented with MMA in a bout with Mirela Vargas in the Professional Fighters League in June this year. Marshall and Taylor had been in seven major fights in the two years before the start of 2024. They are missed.
Cameron switched promoters earlier this year, landed with Frank Warren and finished the year holding the WBC's interim super-lightweight title; it is the same title she retained and then lost to Taylor in two epic fights last year. Cameron, obviously, wants Taylor again, but Taylor has her own agenda, and it starts with a rematch against Amanda Serrano on a night when Mike Tyson gets back in the ring at 58 for a fight with Jake Paul.
