Tyson Fury
It’s undebatable that Tyson Fury is not only one of the best UK boxers of 2024 but the world’s top fighter. Fury has dominated the heavyweight division for years with an iron fist since he took out Wladimir Klitschko.
After his widely public issues with depression and illicit substances, Fury came back and took his throne. Fury has beaten everyone that has been put in front of him and most notably his dominating wins against Deontay Wilder.
Fury’s next highly-anticipated match is against 2-division champion Oleksandr Usyk. This fight will decide who is the current best heavyweight on the planet.
Chris Billam-Smith

At 33, The Gentleman is currently 19-1 with 13 knockout wins. After winning various regional European titles, he knocked off fell countryman Lawrence Okolie to win the WBO cruiserweight title.
Since winning his first cruiserweight world title, Billam-Smith has defended his belt once and wants to win more world titles. UK fight fans and the rest of the world are anxious to see what Billam-Smith is able to accomplish next.
Anthony Joshua
Even though Anthony Joshua has had some stumbles, he’s still one of the best UK boxers of 2024. During the late 2010s, it looked like Joshua was going to take over the world.
Unfortunately for him, his losses to Andy Ruiz and two losses to Usyk has made people question his heart and skills. Joshua, however, made a huge statement in his last fight by decimating Francis Ngannou in just two rounds.
The former world champion looks like he’s found his fire again and wants to prove he’s one of the world’s best.
Callum Smith
Another one of the best UK boxers of 2024 is former 2x world champion Callum Smith. The former world champion from Liverpool has had a very successful career as a pro.
From 2018 to 2020, Smith held both the WBO and Ring super-middleweight titles after winning multiple European regional titles. In his last bout, Smith came up short of becoming a world champion in his loss to Artur Beterbiev.
It was a tough loss, but at 33 and having just 2 professional losses, Smith can possibly earn more opportunities. Don’t be surprised to see vying for more world titles in the future.
Lawrence Okolie
The last fighter that we’ll mention on our list of the best UK boxers of 2024 is Lawrence Okolie. Lawrence is the former WBO cruiserweight champion with 14 KOs in his 19 professional wins.
Okolie defended his title three times before losing a majority decision to fellow countryman Chris Billam-Smith. It was a tough loss for Lawrence, but at 31, he is still in the prime of his fighting career.
We are eager to see if his rebound fight and see if he can meet Billam-Smith in a highly-anticipated rematch.
