The boxing schedule for December 2024 presents some of the most anticipated matchups of the year. Five separate events start on Dec. 7. First among them is a Top Rank card streamed on ESPN+. It is headlined by Emanuel Navarrete vs. Óscar Valdez.

The pair compete over the WBO super featherweight title. Elsewhere on the card, there's Rafael Espinoza vs. Robeisy Ramírez for the WBO featherweight strap. There's also Lindolfo Delgado vs. Jackson Marinez, Emiliano Vargas vs. Alan Ayala, and Art Barrera Jr. vs. Juan Carlos Campos Media, all at light welterweight.

Next is a Matchroom Boxing event on DAZN. It's headlined by Liam Paro vs. Richardson Hitchins for the IBF light welterweight title. The event also features Henry Lebron vs. Christopher Diaz-Velez at super featherweight, Jalil Hackett vs. Jose Raman Vazquez at welterweight, and Yankiel Figueroa vs. Angel Gonzalez at flyweight.

This is followed by Queensberry Promotions and TNT Sports, with Sam Noakes vs. Ryan Walsh for the British lightweight title, Brad Pauls vs. Denzel Bentley for the British middleweight title, Solomon Dacres vs. David Adeleye, and Lawrence Okolie vs. Hussein Muhamed, both at heavyweight.

Next up is a Three Lions Promotion event with an unverified broadcaster. Ryan Rozicki and Yamil Peralta will meet in a rematch for the WBC interim cruiserweight title, accompanied by Antonio Napolitano vs. Brandon Brewer at middleweight and Brett Beaton vs. Javon Blackstock-Sewell at super middleweight.

At the final Dec. 7 event, Epic Sports & Entertainment and DAZN collaborated on a card. Mahmoud Carr defends his WBA (Regular) heavyweight title against Kubrat Pulev, while Gleb Bakshi vs. Juan Manuel Taborda at middleweight and Mohammed Bekdash vs. Juan Rodolfo Juarez at cruiserweight.

The rest of the card consists of various other multi-division matchups sure to excite fans. On Dec. 13, three events take place, beginning with a London event with little information. However, it features the return of the undefeated Paddy Donovan against an undetermined foe at welterweight.

Similarly, George Liddard faces an undetermined opponent at middleweight, and the same fate befalls Maisey Rose Courtney at women's flyweight and Shannon Ryan at women's super flyweight. Then, there is a Most Valuable Promotions and DAZN event.

Instead of influencer boxing, though, it features Antonio Vargas vs. Winston Guerrero for the WBA interim bantamweight title, Euphoria's Javon Walton vs. Erik Hanley at featherweight, and Gurgen Hovhannisyan vs. Patrick Mailata at heavyweight.
