Nominations for the 2026 ESPY Best Fighter award, announced in late June, feature a tight four-way contest among Terence Crawford, Justin Gaethje, Claressa Shields, and Gabriela Fundora, producing the market's near-even odds. Crawford's 2025 undisputed super-middleweight title win and retirement timing bolster his legacy case, while Gaethje's run to undisputed UFC lightweight champion with key victories provides MMA's sole strong entry. Shields and Fundora each defended undisputed crowns with perfect recent records, highlighting women's boxing momentum. With public voting open ahead of the July 15 ceremony, traders see no decisive edge, as historical ESPY patterns favor standout yearly achievements over career totals in this closely matched field.
