12. Sergey Kovalev vs. Adonis Stevenson
Kicking off our 12 Days of Boxing for 2016 is a Light Heavyweight unification matchup that made our wish list last year as well, Sergey Kovalev vs. Adonis Stevenson.
Kovalev scored solid victories over Jean Pascal and Nadjib Mohammedi in 2015 while Stevenson earned uninspiring wins over Sakio Bika and Tommy Karpency.
Both men claim the fight will happen in 2016, so let’s hope this doesn’t land on next year’s wish list as well.
