Cris Esqueda/Golden Boy/Getty ImagesNot real. If anything, the lawsuit could possibly pave the way for a settlement deal that consists of a deal for a rematch. The yield bout in between Garcia as well as Haney is actually merely extremely big to refuse, for both the fighters and the sport.There's the immense conflict adhering to Garcia's positive examination and also subsequential 1 year ban. Haney asserts the PEDs caused Garcia's surprising performance, alongside the truth Garcia was actually 3.2 pounds overweight. Each infractions are actually crucial to the lawsuit.Haney was as much as a 9-1 preferred however was knocked down 3 attend a distressed loss that was later overturned to a no contest. The fight was actually thrilling, and also the 2nd match stands to be a box office bonanza.After all, the prevailing idea heading in to the April competition was actually that Haney would certainly dominate. Garcia's behavior in the buildup of the fight was therefore reckless that there was legitimate are afraid of the fight would not take place at all.Now, along with all the negative blood in between the fighters together with Garcia's increasing celebrity power as well as his performance versus Haney (perks in spite of), there would be actually astounding passion in a rematch. The legal action simply contributes to the dramatization as well as may be the very point that helps unite the problems to create the rematch occur.-- CoppingerReal or otherwise: If Bivol reduces Beterbiev, he'll be the favorite to overcome Alvarez in MayLight big-time champion Dmitry Bivol, left, defeated Canelo Alvarez through consensual decision in 2022. Etienne Laurent/EPA-EFEReal. Canelo informed ESPN final month that he was actually targeting a rematch must Bivol win upcoming week. And also why not? Canelo was a significant favorite versus his previous four opponents and also has actually been actually largely criticized for his amount of competition.Against Bivol, Canelo would certainly be actually a chosen longshot. Bivol transmitted Alvarez when they fulfilled in May 2022, in spite of the narrow scorecards. Bivol is actually certainly not only much bigger but had the capacity to use his maneuvering and also best boxing capability to befuddle as well as reprimand Alvarez.Editor's Picks2 RelatedCanelo has actually sustained the whole time that he is actually a better fighter than Bivol and also his operatively restored hand is going to aid him prove it in a rematch. This would certainly likewise be a legacy match. Canelo would certainly possess the possibility to certainly not simply come to be undisputed champ at a 2nd weight lesson, however also avenge the second loss of his profession (the various other loss was against Floyd Mayweather in 2013). What stays to be observed: Bivol's desire to combat Canelo again. When the rematch was covered during the summer of 2023, Bivol was unfaltering that the match should happen at 168 extra pounds for Canelo's undisputed championship. Alvarez pointed out the battle required to take place at 175. Whatever body weight they settle on, this match is actually by far the very best choice for Canelo if he's certainly not visiting deal with either David Benavidez or even Terence Crawford. Yet Bivol first possesses an incredible problem to face against Beterbiev.-- CoppingerReal or not: Mikhailovich will definitely degrade AlimkhanulyJanibek Alimkhanuly, left, places his IBF middleweight globe headline vulnerable against Andrei Mikhailovich on Friday in Australia. Mikey Williams/Top RankReal: Mikhailovich, of New Zealand, is stepping into the ring in Australia along with a strong sense of accountability. He's a hostile as well as brave competitor who appears all set to unleash after taking a trip to the USA months ago to fight, merely to find that Alimkhanuly stopped working to bring in body weight and also the fight was postponed.Mikhailovich is a strong puncher, as well as punchers agree to engage to land their strikes, so I anticipate him to carry out just that. In contrast, most of Alimkhanuly's previous challengers have entered the ring along with insecurity, influenced by the buzz neighboring the champ. This time Alimkhanuly discovers himself outside his comfort zone, dealing with a figured out, prepared opposition. Although this is actually Mikhailovich's initial fight against a first-rate rival, the risks are high as well as he possesses everything to acquire. The question is actually, can he stay clear of receiving knocked out early? Or even can he harm the champion early to obtain respect?I think Mikhailovich's relentless design could impose on Alimkhanuly's counterpunching style, specifically due to the fact that Alimkhanuly has just gone the complete 12 rounds when in his occupation. For Mikhailovich, enduring the early spheres and also taking the match deep will certainly be actually crucial. Alimkhanuly's capability to conform and tolerate Mikhailovich's aggressiveness and also drilling energy is going to be fun to view.-- BradleyReal or otherwise: Joshua will definitely certainly not get the rematch with Dubois nextDaniel Dubois, straight, knocked down Anthony Joshua four times in the course of his fifth-round KO triumph to shield the IBF heavyweight globe label.

Joshua, punching's largest earner behind Canelo, has actually gone coming from closing in on a substantial, financially rewarding showdown along with the winner of the Dec. 21 Usyk vs. Violence match, to combating to keep his title applicable at punching's best desk. To place themself back right into severe combat for a megafight in 2025, Joshua needs to recover some trustworthiness after final month's five-round KO defeat to Dubois, as well as the only technique he may do that is actually along with a quick rematch.Though his marketer, Matchroom, might not agree, Joshua won't mind taking the thin edge of a package that will certainly view him deal with Dubois in a part two, this time in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, likely on Feb. 22, given that it provides him the quickest course back. The victor of the Dubois vs. Joshua rematch will proceed to face the winner of Usyk vs. Violence 2 in summer 2025, possibly back at Greater london's Wembley Arena, the performance of Joshua's humiliating four presentations versus Dubois before a UK-record 96,000 fans pair of weeks ago.

And this moment he would be paid for more.It was a chaotic, engaging and awesome fight the first time around, which will swell pay-per-view purchases for a rematch. However given that Dubois vs. Joshua 2 necessities to happen in the winter months and also the U.K. just has one arena with a roof (Principality Arena in Cardiff, Wales, which has a capacity of 74,500), it will be an unpleasant surprise to view this battle property at a U.K. venue.Turki Alalshikh, one of the most strong figure in boxing that regulates lineups that occur on Saudi Arabia-backed punching celebrations, will certainly be actually interested for such a huge battle-- some of the greatest punching may give next year-- happening in Saudi Arabia.Matchroom marketer Eddie Hearn, who guides Joshua's job, mentions Joshua has actually presently conceded conditions, while Frank Warren, Dubois' marketer, claims Dubois is going to deal with once again in February. Warren has also shown his fervency for an immediate rematch, thus expect it to occur.-- ParkinsonReal or otherwise: Ball will protect his WBA featherweight headline against RiosNick Ball, left behind, won the WBA featherweight headline by defeating Raymond Ford in June. Richard Pelham/Getty ImagesReal. Reception has actually been starving, alert as well as hectic in stepping up to best amount over the in 2013, even in matches where he really did not have his hand increased. The Liverpool-based 5-foot-2 fighter does not seem to be worried about through a height disadvantage in world headline battles and also was actually regrettable to be rejected success in a crack draw versus Rey Vargas, the WBC featherweight holder, in March. What was more remarkable was Round's split selection gain Raymond Ford, who was actually recently undefeated, for the WBA waistband, back in June in Riyadh.Rios (34-4, 17 KOs), 34, has actually certainly not been actually as active or in the same type as Sphere, who are going to teem with fire for his first world label defense facing his home urban area supporters. Ball (20-0-1, 11 KOs), 27, must beware, as Rios signed up an exceptional fifth-round KO of Nicolas Polanco in April, however that was actually the Californian's 1st trip in nearly 2 years. Vargas additionally outpointed Rios in 2017, and Murodjon Akhmadaliev quit Rios in the last round for the WBA as well as IBF junior lightweight globe labels in June 2022.
