Boxing cards are officially back so Justin & Will are coming out swinging in this explosive episode of Global Card Collectors. We break down the long-awaited return of Topps Chrome Boxing, the first Topps boxing set in more than 70 years. What does it get right? Where does it stumble? And is it really the future of the boxing-card hobby?Then we step into the ring with Panini’s Combat Anthology, home of the wildly popular Kaboom inserts — and compare how Panini’s approach stacks up against the Chrome revival.From there, we dive deep into the Bad Boys of Boxing: Jack Johnson, Mike Tyson, and other legendary fighters whose careers - and cards - shaped the sport’s legacy. We explore their stories, their cultural impact, and why their cardboard still matters.We close with a big question: Can boxing cards escape the niche and finally go mainstream? Or will they remain a cult favorite for hardcore fight fans?If you love boxing, history, or the hobby - this one will go the full twelve rounds.
