Boxing schedule for 2022: Every major fight night, date and venue

This year has produced some incredible results, and it's only going to get better.
Boxing has overcome the global pandemic via unanimous decision in 2022.
May 5 was perhaps the biggest outcome of the year though as Canelo Alvarez tasted defeat to Dmitry Bivol for the WBA light heavyweight title.
The four-division world champion returned to the ring in September to beat Gennadiy Golovkin to wrap up their triology and retain his WBA (Super), WBC, IBF, WBO, and The Ring super middleweight titles.
Taylor successfully defended her world lightweight titles for a seventh time against Karen Carabajal in October.
Fury crushes Whyte
Tyson Fury continued to prove his worth as an all-time heavyweight great with victory over Dillian Whyte in April.
The Fury circus then ramped up a gear as he made noises about 'retirement', called out a range of opponents via social media, saw talks over a domestic showdown with Anthony Joshua fail and eventually settled on another bout with old foe Derek Chisora on December 3, who he stopped in round 10.
In August, Oleksandr Usyk successfully defended his heavyweight belts in his rematch with Anthony Joshua in Saudi Arabia.
Planet Sport provides the important upcoming bouts for this year.
