By way of curtain-raisers to boxing in 2025, Naoya Inoue massacred a Korean hardly anyone outside south-east Asia had ever heard of until last weekend. On February 8, Derek Chisora will probably flatten Otto Wallin as he staves off retirement one more time.

Japan's Inoue remains the undisputed world super-bantamweight champion and is still undefeated across 29 fights in a knockout career of dominance over four divisions. Chisora is still ranked among the top 10 heavyweights on the planet. But in truth – while Inoue is rightly acclaimed as one of the top three pound-for-pound boxers on earth and 41-year-old Chisora keeps defying Father Time – the Japanese Monster should be fighting more elite opponents and it is worrying that the good old boy who calls himself War is still putting his health and life on the line in his ring dotage.

So, to inject life back into boxing and light up 2025, here are my Magnificent Seven:. Daniel Dubois (left) and Joseph Parker will face off in Saudi in four weeks' time. 1 and 2: Double Whammy in Saudi. February 22 (confirmed), Kingdom Arena, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Daniel Dubois v Joseph Parker, IBF Heavyweight World Championship. In his second title defence after his crushing of Anthony Joshua, our Dynamite Daniel must win against Parker, New Zealand’s reborn former world champion, to secure that mega-millions fight with Oleksandr Usyk for the undisputed heavyweight crown later this year.
