2021 is set to be an epic year for sport. 2020 has been a year nobody could have expected. Thankfully, the sporting world has powered through.
Hopefully 2021 will be a better year for everyone and could be the year that brings these sporting moments.
Anthony Joshua vs Tyson Fury
In 2021 we may see one of the biggest fights in the history of boxing. Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury could go head-to-head this year for the title of undisputed heavyweight champion of the world.
The fight would tell us which of the two Brits is the best heavyweight on the planet.
The event would showcase the slick boxing skills of Tyson Fury and the devastating power of AJ. Who do you fancy to become the undisputed, unified champion?
Manchester United and Liverpool title race
If Manchester United can pick up three points in their next game, they would join Liverpool at the summit of the Premier League table.
Manchester United have had a great start to the season and look like title contenders as we head into the new year. The brilliance of Bruno Fernandez has elevated United back to serious challengers for the Premier League.
Despite being ravaged by injuries, Liverpool still sit top of the Premier League table going into 2021. Jurgen Klopp’s men have not been as ruthless in comparison to the last few seasons but the champions still lead the pack in the race to become champions of England once more.
Liverpool as defending champions will be looking to win a second consecutive title but with United hot on their heels, we could see the classic rivalry turn into a frantic title chase.
The last time the rivals battled for the title was almost a decade ago. It would be brilliant to see two giants of football fight for the title once again.
Gold for Britain?
After the sporting world came to a standstill this year, the 2020 Olympics due to be held in Tokyo was postponed.
The delayed games will be a highlight of 2021 with the best sports stars going competing for Olympic gold. Athletes such as sprinter Dina Asher-Smith will be looking to grab gold in Tokyo 2021.
Adesanya v Jones
2021 may see two of the biggest stars go head-to-head. Israel Adesanya and John Jones have had spiteful back and forth over the past few months.
Adesanya’s precision striking combined with Jones’ octagon IQ would make for one of the biggest UFC events of all time.
The current middleweight champ Adensanya and one of the all-time greats, Jones, could be set for an epic clash at light heavyweight this year.2
