The boxing calendar has been left in disarray due to the coronavirus pandemic with a growing number of fights scheduled or postponed over the coming months.

With the government advising against mass gatherings and with emergency workers no longer able to support events due to the Covid-19 outbreak, boxing has been effectively put on hold until June at the earliest.

The British Boxing Board of Control this week made the decision to postpone all public boxing events under its jurisdiction.

Both Matchroom Boxing and Queensbury Promotions have now postponed or rescheduled most of their upcoming bouts - including three huge heavyweight clashes - with Top Rank doing likewise in the US with more changes to the calendar possibly to follow.

Here's every fight to be postponed or rescheduled so far...
