Cris Esqueda/Golden Boy/Getty ImagesNot real. If everything, the legal action could possibly lead the way for a settlement deal that consists of a deal for a rematch. The profit bout in between Garcia and also Haney is simply extremely significant to avoid, for both the boxers and also the sport.There's the astounding dispute adhering to Garcia's favorable test and succeeding 1 year restriction. Haney claims the PEDs caused Garcia's shocking functionality, in addition to the simple fact Garcia was 3.2 pounds overweight. Both violations are actually key to the lawsuit.Haney was as long as a 9-1 preferred but was actually defeated 3 attend an upset loss that was actually later on reversed to a no contest. The battle was exhilarating, as well as the 2nd bout stands up to become a ticket office bonanza.After all of, the dominating notion heading right into the April competition was that Haney would dominate. Garcia's behavior in the accumulation of the fight was actually thus careless that there was genuine dread the struggle would not happen at all.Now, along with all the bad blood stream between the boxers alongside Garcia's increasing celebrity energy and his performance against Haney (benefits regardless of), there would be immense enthusiasm in a rematch. The suit simply contributes to the drama and may be the exact factor that helps connect the issues to make the rematch happen.-- CoppingerReal or otherwise: If Bivol reduces Beterbiev, he'll be actually the preferred to combat Alvarez in MayLight big-time champ Dmitry Bivol, left, reduced Canelo Alvarez by consentaneous decision in 2022. Etienne Laurent/EPA-EFEReal. Canelo informed ESPN last month that he was actually targeting a rematch should Bivol win next week. And also why not? Canelo was a significant favorite against his previous 4 opponents and also has actually been actually widely criticized for his amount of competition.Against Bivol, Canelo would be actually a chosen longshot. Bivol transmitted Alvarez when they satisfied in May 2022, despite the narrow scorecards. Bivol is actually certainly not merely bigger however managed to use his maneuvering and elite punching capacity to bewilder and punish Alvarez.Editor's Picks2 RelatedCanelo has actually maintained during that he's a better fighter than Bivol and that his operatively restored hand will definitely aid him prove it in a rematch. This would also be actually a tradition match. Canelo would certainly have the odds to not just come to be indisputable champion at a second body weight lesson, but also avenge the second loss of his profession (the other disappointment was against Floyd Mayweather in 2013). What continues to be to become viewed: Bivol's desire to deal with Canelo once again. When the rematch was actually reviewed in the course of the summertime of 2023, Bivol was actually unfaltering that the match should occur at 168 pounds for Canelo's unquestioned champion. Alvarez stated the battle needed to have to occur at 175. Whatever weight they choose, this match is by far the best option for Canelo if he is actually certainly not mosting likely to face either David Benavidez or even Terence Crawford. Yet Bivol initially possesses an enormous problem to encounter against Beterbiev.-- CoppingerReal or otherwise: Mikhailovich will certainly displace AlimkhanulyJanibek Alimkhanuly, left behind, puts his IBF middleweight planet title on the line versus Andrei Mikhailovich on Friday in Australia. Mikey Williams/Top RankReal: Mikhailovich, of New Zealand, is actually stepping into the supplant Australia along with a tough sense of obligation. He is actually a hostile as well as fearless fighter who appears prepared to discharge after journeying to the USA months ago to combat, merely to find that Alimkhanuly neglected to create weight and the match was actually postponed.Mikhailovich is a highly effective puncher, as well as punchers are willing to take on to land their strikes, so I expect him to carry out only that. On the other hand, a number of Alimkhanuly's previous opponents have gotten in the band along with self-doubt, influenced by the buzz surrounding the champ. This time Alimkhanuly discovers themself outside his convenience area, facing an identified, eager opposition. Although this is actually Mikhailovich's very first battle against an unparalleled rival, the concerns are actually high as well as he has whatever to acquire. The question is actually, can he stay clear of receiving knocked senseless early? Or can he hurt the champ early to gain respect?I believe Mikhailovich's unrelenting design can impose on Alimkhanuly's counterpunching style, specifically due to the fact that Alimkhanuly has merely gone the comprehensive 12 rounds when in his profession. For Mikhailovich, surviving the very early arounds and taking the match deep will definitely be actually vital. Alimkhanuly's ability to adjust and withstand Mikhailovich's aggression as well as punching electrical power will be exciting to watch.-- BradleyReal or otherwise: Joshua will not get the rematch with Dubois nextDaniel Dubois, straight, knocked down Anthony Joshua four times during his fifth-round KO victory to guard the IBF heavyweight planet headline. Richard Pelham/Getty ImagesNot real. Joshua, punching's biggest wage earner responsible for Canelo, has actually gone coming from closing know a substantial, financially rewarding showdown along with the champion of the Dec. 21 Usyk vs. Fury battle, to combating to keep his name appropriate at boxing's leading desk. To put themself back in to significant contention for a megafight in 2025, Joshua needs to regain some integrity after last month's five-round KO defeat to Dubois, and also the only way he may do that is with an immediate rematch.Though his promoter, Matchroom, may certainly not agree, Joshua won't mind taking the skinny side of a deal that are going to find him encounter Dubois in a part two, this time around in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, likely on Feb. 22, due to the fact that it gives him the quickest route back. The winner of the Dubois vs. Joshua rematch would advance to experience the winner of Usyk vs. Frenzy 2 in summertime 2025, possibly back at London's Wembley Stadium, the performance of Joshua's embarrassing four knockdowns versus Dubois facing a UK-record 96,000 enthusiasts 2 full weeks earlier. That fight could be for all 4 primary heavyweight planet titles.Two-time champion Joshua (28-4, 25 KOs), who switches 35 this month, has actually presently dismissed tips coming from former pugilists like Barry McGuigan that he should retire, among doubts in order to whether he is actually shedding resistance to electrical power punches.Dubois (22-2, 21 KOs), 27, is likewise up for a rematch as well as is going to elegant his odds against his trembled English competitor. And also this moment he would be paid out more.It was a turbulent, engaging as well as thrilling battle the very first time around, which would swell pay-per-view purchases for a rematch. Yet given that Dubois vs. Joshua 2 demands to take place in the wintertime as well as the U.K. only has one stadium with a roofing system (Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales, which has an ability of 74,500), it will be an unpleasant surprise to observe this match property at a U.K. venue.Turki Alalshikh, the most highly effective figure in punching that manages lineups that occur on Saudi Arabia-backed boxing events, will definitely be actually interested for such a huge fight-- some of the most significant punching can give next year-- occurring in Saudi Arabia.Matchroom marketer Eddie Hearn, who resources Joshua's job, claims Joshua has actually presently conceded terms, while Frank Warren, Dubois' promoter, mentions Dubois is going to combat again in February. Warren has additionally expressed his gusto for an instant rematch, so anticipate it to occur.-- ParkinsonReal or otherwise: Ball will safeguard his WBA featherweight title versus RiosNick Round, left behind, won the WBA featherweight label by defeating Raymond Ford in June. Richard Pelham/Getty ImagesReal. Reception has been actually starving, alert and active symphonious around best degree over the in 2013, even in matches where he really did not have his hand elevated. The Liverpool-based 5-foot-2 boxer carries out not seem to be to become bothered by an elevation drawback in planet label matches and also was actually unfortunate to become denied success in a crack draw against Rey Vargas, the WBC featherweight titleholder, in March. What was actually a lot more remarkable was Ball's split selection win over Raymond Ford, that was actually previously undefeated, for the WBA belt, back in June in Riyadh.Rios (34-4, 17 KOs), 34, has not been as energetic or even in the exact same kind as Sphere, that will has plenty of fire for his initial planet label protection in front of his home area supporters. Ball (20-0-1, 11 KOs), 27, have to beware, as Rios registered an impressive fifth-round KO of Nicolas Polanco in April, but that was the Californian's first trip in practically two years. Vargas also outpointed Rios in 2017, and also Murodjon Akhmadaliev quit Rios in the last sphere for the WBA and also IBF junior lightweight world titles in June 2022. Round's energy and wish will find him safeguard his WBA waistband with a choice victory.-- Parkinson.
