Boxing Fight Tonight: Maxi Hughes vs. Archie Sharp, Terri Harper Date, Time, Venue, Tickets, Livestream, and Undercard Details

Ranked No. 4 in the WBA lightweight rankings, Maxi Hughes comes into this bout with momentum on his side. He’s won three of his last five fights, including a unanimous decision victory over Gary Cully back in December 2024. Hughes has been more active than his opponent, fighting five times over the last two and a half years, averaging a fight every six and a half months. With 44 rounds logged in those bouts, he’s kept a steady rhythm (often going the distance) but showing enough edge to stop opponents when needed. And his opponent?

Currently ranked 13th by the WBO in the junior lightweight division, Archie Sharp is looking to bounce back after suffering the first defeat of his professional career to Ryan Garner nearly ten months ago with his move up the weight. Sharp’s recent track record shows a much slower pace, with only five fights spread out over nearly five years, averaging one bout per year. Despite this, he’s racked up 48 rounds, slightly edging Hughes in average rounds per fight. Now, as these two talented Brits prepare to clash in just a few hours for the WBC Silver Lightweight title, here’s everything you need to know about how and where to watch the action unfold.
