Boxing right now, is all about the best stars and best boxers! No one will remember those who nearly made it to the top of their division! Everyone will remember those who are either undefeated or held most of the division’s titles, however who are the rising stars that could make an appearance in the big league and win a championship? Mike Tyson was 20 when he was named the next big thing and he managed to make a name for himself! Joe Calzaghe is one of few boxers to be undefeated and started boxing when he was 21 and became known as one of the best! Who are the next shinning stars? There are many stars to choose from so I’ve picked the top 3 in my opinion that’ll make a hug impact in the next few years and will become great champions!
Hampus Hercules Henriksson is one of 3 that could be a world champion! Hampus Henriksson was born on the 2nd November 1994 in Malmo, Sweden. He started his boxing Career at the age of 21 on the 19th September 2015! He fought Ivan Sakic in his first ever fight and won in the first round by KO. He then fought the likes of Davit Ribakoni, Przemyslaw Binienda and Adam Bashanov and won these three via points decision! He could be the next big Super Middleweight boxer! His most intense fight was against Adam Bashanov, the judges scored him as the winner but one by the name of Andreas Stenberg scored a draw, this match up could have been different! As of right now, he is inactive. He will most likely make a return to the ring throughout the year since he is training!
Ryan Garcia has been everywhere recently, he was born on the 8th August 1998 from California, USA. Started boxing on the 9th June 2016 and fought Edgar Meza, managed to win by TKO in the first round! Ryan Garcia went on and fought in 17 fights and knocked out 14 of them. The others were on points and one was on Referee technical decision! He really is boxings biggest upcoming talent, he could be better than some of the world’s best! Last fight he did was against Braulio Rodriguez which he managed to win via KO! Ryan Garcia trains most days and puts countless hours into his speed and reaction time, his punch power is incredible and could potential beat the best in his division already! He could be the biggest star!
Daniel Dubois was born on the 6th September 1997 in London, United Kingdom. Dubois started boxing on the 8th April 2017 and didn’t disappoint anyone! He fought against Marcus Kelly and proved to everyone what he can do! Marcus Kelly got knocked out in the first round! Daniel Dubois didn’t stop there as he has only once been through all 10 rounds, meaning in 9 fights, he has knocked out 8 of them! Some didn’t even get to see the third round, never mind the second. He could be the next champion of his division! He could go up against the likes of Anthony Joshua, Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury and last till the 12th round!
