Cris Esqueda/Golden Boy/Getty ImagesNot real. If just about anything, the legal action could break the ice for a settlement that features a deal for a rematch. The gain spell in between Garcia and Haney is simply very big to miss, for both the competitors as well as the sport.There's the great debate following Garcia's positive exam and also subsequential 1 year ban. Haney claims the PEDs resulted in Garcia's surprising efficiency, together with the reality Garcia was 3.2 pounds obese. Both violations are actually essential to the lawsuit.Haney was as much as a 9-1 favored yet was knocked down 3 attend an upset loss that was actually later on overturned to a no competition. The fight was actually awesome, and also the 2nd bout stands to become a ticket office bonanza.After all, the prevailing thought and feelings heading in to the April matchup was that Haney would control. Garcia's habits in the buildup of the fight was actually so negligent that there was legitimate are afraid of the fight definitely would not take place at all.Now, with all the poor blood stream in between the competitors together with Garcia's expanding superstar energy as well as his efficiency against Haney (advantages in spite of), there would be astounding passion in a rematch. The lawsuit just includes in the dramatization and also may be the very point that helps link the issues to create the rematch take place.-- CoppingerReal or otherwise: If Bivol reduces Beterbiev, he'll be actually the beloved to combat Alvarez in MayLight heavyweight champion Dmitry Bivol, left, reduced Canelo Alvarez through consensual selection in 2022. Etienne Laurent/EPA-EFEReal. Canelo informed ESPN last month that he was actually targeting a rematch ought to Bivol succeed next full week. And also why not? Canelo was a major fave against his past 4 challengers and also has actually been commonly slammed for his degree of competition.Against Bivol, Canelo would certainly be a determined longshot. Bivol directed Alvarez when they complied with in May 2022, in spite of the narrow scorecards. Bivol is certainly not merely bigger but had the ability to utilize his maneuvering and elite boxing capacity to bewilder and discipline Alvarez.Editor's Picks2 RelatedCanelo has sustained all along that he's a far better fighter than Bivol and that his surgically restored palm will definitely help him prove it in a rematch. This will likewise be actually a legacy battle. Canelo would certainly possess the opportunity to not simply end up being uncontested champion at a 2nd body weight class, but likewise retaliate the 2nd reduction of his profession (the other disappointment protested Floyd Mayweather in 2013). What remains to become found: Bivol's determination to deal with Canelo again. When the rematch was discussed throughout the summer months of 2023, Bivol was actually staunch that the struggle has to take place at 168 pounds for Canelo's unquestioned champion. Alvarez pointed out the battle required to occur at 175. Whatever weight they settle on, this match is easily the most ideal option for Canelo if he is actually not heading to face either David Benavidez or Terence Crawford. But Bivol initially possesses a tremendous challenge to face versus Beterbiev.-- CoppingerReal or not: Mikhailovich will certainly uncrown AlimkhanulyJanibek Alimkhanuly, left behind, places his IBF middleweight world headline on the line against Andrei Mikhailovich on Friday in Australia. Mikey Williams/Top RankReal: Mikhailovich, of New Zealand, is actually stepping into the ring in Australia along with a ferocious feeling of responsibility. He's an aggressive and fearless fighter that seems prepared to let loose after taking a trip to the U.S. months ago to combat, merely to find that Alimkhanuly fallen short to make body weight as well as the match was actually postponed.Mikhailovich is actually a strong puncher, as well as punchers want to take on to land their strikes, so I expect him to perform just that. In contrast, a number of Alimkhanuly's previous challengers have gone into the ring with insecurity, affected due to the hype bordering the champion. This time around Alimkhanuly finds himself outside his convenience region, dealing with a calculated, eager opposition. Although this is Mikhailovich's first fight versus a first-rate opponent, the risks are high and also he has every little thing to obtain. The inquiry is actually, can he steer clear of receiving knocked out early? Or even may he harm the champ early to obtain respect?I presume Mikhailovich's relentless design can impose on Alimkhanuly's counterpunching design, specifically considering that Alimkhanuly has only gone the complete 12 rounds once in his occupation. For Mikhailovich, making it through the very early spheres and also taking the match deep will be key. Alimkhanuly's ability to adjust and withstand Mikhailovich's hostility as well as drilling energy is going to be fun to check out.-- BradleyReal or otherwise: Joshua is going to not take the rematch with Dubois nextDaniel Dubois, straight, knocked down Anthony Joshua four times throughout his fifth-round KO success to safeguard the IBF abundant planet title.

Joshua, punching's biggest income earner behind Canelo, has gone from closing know a large, highly profitable showdown along with the victor of the Dec. 21 Usyk vs. Madness battle, to eliminating to keep his title appropriate at punching's leading table. To place themself back right into serious combat for a megafight in 2025, Joshua requires to gain back some trustworthiness after final month's five-round KO defeat to Dubois, as well as the only method he can do that is actually with an urgent rematch.Though his marketer, Matchroom, could not agree, Joshua will not mind taking the skinny edge of a deal that will definitely see him deal with Dubois in a follow up, this time in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, possibly on Feb. 22, given that it uses him the quickest route back. The victor of the Dubois vs. Joshua rematch would certainly proceed to experience the winner of Usyk vs. Fury 2 in summer season 2025, perhaps back at Greater london's Wembley Coliseum, the scene of Joshua's embarrassing four knockdowns versus Dubois in front of a UK-record 96,000 enthusiasts pair of weeks ago. That fight could be for all four significant heavyweight world titles.Two-time champ Joshua (28-4, 25 KOs), that transforms 35 this month, has already dismissed ideas coming from former pugilists including Barry McGuigan that he need to resign, in the middle of questions as to whether he is actually losing resistance to electrical power punches.Dubois (22-2, 21 KOs), 27, is likewise up for a rematch and will certainly lavish his possibilities against his shaken English opponent. As well as this moment he would be paid more.It was a disorderly, engaging as well as awesome match the first time around, which will swell pay-per-view sales for a rematch. However due to the fact that Dubois vs. Joshua 2 demands to happen in the wintertime as well as the U.K. simply has one stadium with a roof covering (Principality Coliseum in Cardiff, Wales, which possesses a capability of 74,500), it would be a shock to find this fight property at a U.K. venue.Turki Alalshikh, one of the most highly effective have a place in boxing who controls schedules that take place on Saudi Arabia-backed punching events, will be actually interested for such a sizable battle-- one of the biggest boxing can provide upcoming year-- happening in Saudi Arabia.Matchroom marketer Eddie Hearn, that quick guides Joshua's career, points out Joshua has actually actually agreed conditions, while Frank Warren, Dubois' marketer, claims Dubois will definitely combat once more in February. Warren has actually also shared his gusto for a prompt rematch, so expect it to occur.-- ParkinsonReal or otherwise: Round will definitely guard his WBA featherweight label against RiosNick Sphere, left behind, gained the WBA featherweight label through defeating Raymond Ford in June. Richard Pelham/Getty ImagesReal. Reception has actually been famished, alert and also hectic in stepping around elite amount over the last year, even in battles where he didn't possess his palm elevated. The Liverpool-based 5-foot-2 fighter does not seem to be to become bothered by an elevation downside in planet title matches and also was regrettable to become refuted triumph in a crack draw against Rey Vargas, the WBC featherweight titleholder, in March. What was extra excellent was Ball's crack decision win over Raymond Ford, that was earlier unbeaten, for the WBA belt, back in June in Riyadh.Rios (34-4, 17 KOs), 34, has not been actually as energetic or even in the very same form as Sphere, that will certainly has plenty of fire for his 1st world title protection in front of his home area enthusiasts. Round (20-0-1, 11 KOs), 27, have to take care, as Rios enrolled an outstanding fifth-round KO of Nicolas Polanco in April, however that was the Californian's first outing in virtually 2 years. Vargas likewise outpointed Rios in 2017, and Murodjon Akhmadaliev stopped Rios in the final sphere for the WBA and also IBF junior light planet labels in June 2022.
