YouTubers Turn Pro!
One of the main topics of boxing has been YouTube, ever since the 3rd February 2018, when KSI went up against Joe Weller in an amateur boxing fight, there has been a lot of fans coming to the sport because of their YouTube idols have been doing and or wanting to watch more. The main reason this is a huge turning point is the fact that KSI and Logan Paul have decided to turn Pro for their next match up and Eddie Hearn of Matchroom boxing has said he will promote the event and will organise it. This is said to bring more and more fans into the sport of boxing and show fans of these two YouTubers what boxing is about… says Eddie Hearn. KSI vs Logan Paul was one of the biggest events in history… now could be even bigger after this contest. This could bring in 10% of fans towards the sport or none at all but this event will be huge regardless.

Fans of Boxing!
The fans of boxing are about to change, there will be more and more fans wanting to follow their favourite fighters and find other fighters they are wanting to watch, this won’t change boxing as much, however each and every day, more and more fans are getting drawn to the sport which is amazing for the sport and could attract more attention and could become one of the biggest other than football!
Heavyweight Division!
The heavyweight division has been all over the place these past few months, we have seen one of the biggest upsets in boxing history, seen one of the best comebacks in history and now seeing the new champion wanting to fight more world class fighters instead of Joshua! This one upset has changed boxing for the heavyweight division forever. The top fighters have now changed, they use to be Joshua, Fury and Wilder, everyone wanting to see these three fight, however now Andy Ruiz Jr is at the top with Wilder and Fury wanting a shot at the current champion, however Joshua has the chance so, Wilder and Fury may have to fight Joshua for the unified heavyweight titles, no one knows but no one will underestimate a fighter like Ruiz ever again.
No one will Underestimate fighters!
Every boxing fan has done this and can say they have underestimated a fighter and thought a fighter wasn’t good enough to fight the current champion, e.g. Rocky Fielding vs Canelo, everyone knew Canelo would win and thought Rocky didn’t stand a chance, we saw the result and everyone was right, Steve Rolls vs Gennady Golovkin, GGG was the favourite and won the fight, historic night Andy Ruiz Jr vs Anthony Joshua, everyone thought Joshua was going to win and make it look easy… however, this didn’t happen. Everyone underestimated his power and Ruiz showed the world that he can be champion.
