Boxing no longer is promoted with big long press conferences months in advance due to the internet, those days are gone now.
Instead, a one month turnaround time is the new norm now from announcing a big fight to the time of the fight itself.
Why Fight Week Build Ups Are More Important Than Ever In Boxing
Sometimes even less.

If you look at Chris Eubank vs Conor Benn 1 in 2025 it was actually the night of the fight when fans around the world saw Eubank senior turn up on fight night itself for the bout that drove huge numbers of pay per view buys and online viewers worldwide of the event and its social media happenings on fight night.
Fight week is crucial now for the press conference, weigh-in and workouts and interviews on fight nights.
By then the fighters and their teams have arrived on location and all the big stories can actually be pushed out then if needed, something for organizers to be mindful of.
A few weeks in advance obviously online documentaries and shoulder programs as well.

Resulting in the best fighters and champions fighting one another way more regularly than ever before and been more active than ever before.

Allowing for an even more bullet proof schedule for boxing for continued major corporation and commercial, and government state confidence, in professional boxing — which is already sky high — but will touch the clouds soon.
