April 2025 Boxing: What Happened, What’s Coming, and Who’s on Top

If you love boxing, April 2025 was a busy month. From surprise upsets to big‑ticket fights, the ring saw action that will shape the rest of the year. Below you’ll get the quick rundown of the biggest results, the fights you can mark on your calendar, and the rankings that shifted after the bouts.

Top Results from April

First up, the headline‑grabbing heavyweight showdown. Tyson Fury finally faced a fresh challenger in the form of British rising star Adam "The Hammer" Hayes. Fury won by unanimous decision, but Hayes stole the show with a third‑round knock‑down that had the arena buzzing. The fight earned a solid 7.5 million PPV buys, proving there’s still massive appetite for heavyweight drama.

In the middleweight division, the surprise of the month was Khostan "The Flash" Juma’s knockout of seasoned veteran Gennady "GGG" Golovkin. Juma, only 24, landed a perfect left hook in the fifth round, ending Golovkin’s 18‑fight unbeaten streak. The result sent him straight to the #2 spot in the WBA rankings.

Women’s boxing also had a milestone. Maya "The Lioness" Rodriguez defended her feather‑weight title against Thailand’s Anong "Tiger" Srisuk with a gritty split‑decision win. Both fighters put on a relentless pace, and the fight is already being called one of the best women’s bouts of the decade.

Upcoming Fights You Can’t Miss

Looking ahead, the marquee event in May is the long‑awaited welterweight clash between Errol "The Truth" Spence and defending champion Terence "T‑Cobra" Castillo. It’s set for May 18 at the O2 Arena in London, and tickets are selling out fast. Early betting odds favor Spence, but Castillo’s recent knockout streak could make this a toss‑up.

June brings a super‑fight that everyone’s talking about: Gervonta "Tank" Davis versus former champion Ryan "The Rocket" O’Connor. The fight is being billed as “Power Meets Speed,” and both fighters have promised a knockout. If you love fast‑action, this is the one to watch.

Don’t forget the undercard prospects. The April‑May window features a series of lightweight tournaments in Las Vegas, giving younger talent a chance to earn a title shot. Keep an eye on Mexican prospect Luis "Lightning" Martínez – his crisp footwork and body shots have already earned him a spot in the top‑10.

Finally, stay updated on the rankings. After April’s results, the top three in the light‑heavyweight division are now: 1) Artur "The Machine" Beterbiev, 2) Khostan Juma, 3) Oleksandr "The Hammer" Usyk. With a few more fights on the horizon, these spots could shift quickly.
