Matchroom Boxing Officially Announces
Date For Monte-Carlo Showdown VII
One of the most prestigious events on the boxing calendar
officially returns on Saturday, December 12, as Matchroom
Boxing, in partnership with Monte-Carlo Société des Bains de
Mer, stage Monte-Carlo Showdown VII.
Taking place at the stunning Salle des Étoiles, Sporting
Monte-Carlo, the exclusive fight night has seen some of the
sport’s biggest names shine under the glitz, glamour and
bright lights of the Principality in the past, including the
likes of Dmitry Bivol, Gennady Golovkin, Joe Cordina and
Derek Chisora.
Last year, the brilliant, 15-0 Shabaz Masoud – who returns
to action next week at Manchester’s Co-op Live against Ckari
Cani Mansilla for the vacant IBF Intercontinental
Featherweight Title – defeated Liverpool’s Peter McGrail for
the European Super Bantamweight belt in a memorable main
event.
The undercard saw Elif Nur Turhan celebrate her crowning
glory when she captured the IBF World Lightweight
Championship in spectacular style when she stopped Brazil’s
Olympic hero Beatriz Ferreira, whilst British Welterweight
king Conah Walker upset Team GB Tokyo 2020 Olympic Silver
Medallist Pat McCormack with a dramatic 12th-round
demolition.
And this year promises to deliver even more excitement with
Matchroom Sport Chairman Eddie Hearn insisting the event
will see some huge fights for its seventh instalment.
“Our annual Monte-Carlo Showdown is one of the most eagerly
awaited fixtures in the sport and we cannot wait to return
to the Principality this December,” said Hearn.
“As always, it will be a special spectacle, with a host of
big fights lighting up the card – all live on the Global
Home of Boxing, DAZN.
“We are immensely grateful to our magnificent hosts at
Sporting Monte-Carlo, along with the ever-present Michael
Wittstock and the Prince of Monaco, Albert II, who have long
championed this incredible event."
Official two-night packages (inclusive of hotel and fight
night tickets) are on sale now via matchroomboxing.com with
details on standalone tickets to follow in due course –
along with information on the full fight card and fight week
schedule for media.
Monte-Carlo Showdown VII takes place on Saturday, December
12, 2026, at the Salle des Étoiles, Sporting Monte-Carlo,
and will be broadcast live worldwide on DAZN.
