Cris Esqueda/Golden Boy/Getty ImagesNot real. If anything, the legal action could possibly pave the way for a negotiation that includes an offer for a rematch. The return bout in between Garcia as well as Haney is actually just too large to avoid, for both the boxers as well as the sport.There's the tremendous debate following Garcia's positive exam and also subsequential one-year ban. Haney claims the PEDs resulted in Garcia's astonishing functionality, along with the simple fact Garcia was 3.2 pounds over weight. Both offenses are crucial to the lawsuit.Haney was actually as long as a 9-1 favored however was actually knocked down 3 times in a distressed reduction that was actually later overturned to a no contest. The match was actually exhilarating, and also the second struggle stands up to become a box office bonanza.After all of, the dominating thought moving right into the April competition was that Haney would dominate. Garcia's behavior in the accumulation of the fight was actually so careless that there was actually legitimate worry the match wouldn't happen at all.Now, along with all the poor blood stream between the competitors alongside Garcia's growing star electrical power and his efficiency versus Haney (perks regardless of), there would be tremendous enthusiasm in a rematch. The case merely contributes to the drama as well as might be the very trait that assists unite the problems to bring in the rematch take place.-- CoppingerReal or otherwise: If Bivol defeats Beterbiev, he'll be actually the favorite to overcome Alvarez in MayLight heavyweight champion Dmitry Bivol, left behind, reduced Canelo Alvarez by consentaneous selection in 2022. Etienne Laurent/EPA-EFEReal. Canelo said to ESPN final month that he was targeting a rematch must Bivol gain upcoming full week. As well as why not? Canelo was actually a major fave versus his previous four rivals as well as has actually been actually commonly criticized for his level of competition.Against Bivol, Canelo would certainly be a chosen underdog. Bivol routed Alvarez when they fulfilled in May 2022, even with the slender directories. Bivol is actually certainly not just greater but had the capacity to use his maneuvering and also best boxing ability to bewilder and also penalize Alvarez.Editor's Picks2 RelatedCanelo has actually sustained during that he's a better boxer than Bivol and also his operatively restored hand is going to assist him confirm it in a rematch. This will likewise be actually a legacy battle. Canelo will have the opportunity to not simply end up being uncontested champion at a 2nd body weight course, yet additionally vindicate the second reduction of his career (the various other loss was against Floyd Mayweather in 2013). What remains to become viewed: Bivol's determination to combat Canelo again. When the rematch was discussed during the course of the summer months of 2023, Bivol was staunch that the battle should occur at 168 pounds for Canelo's indisputable championship. Alvarez pointed out the match needed to take place at 175. Whatever body weight they decide on, this fight is actually by far the most ideal possibility for Canelo if he is actually certainly not mosting likely to deal with either David Benavidez or even Terence Crawford. But Bivol to begin with possesses a significant obstacle to deal with against Beterbiev.-- CoppingerReal or not: Mikhailovich is going to degrade 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 entering the supplant Australia along with a ferocious sense of duty. He's an aggressive as well as courageous fighter that seems to be all set to release after traveling to the USA months ago to overcome, only to find that Alimkhanuly stopped working to make weight and the battle 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 carry out merely that. On the other hand, a lot of Alimkhanuly's previous challengers have gotten in the ring with self-doubt, determined due to the buzz surrounding the champ. This time around Alimkhanuly locates themself outside his convenience region, encountering a determined, prepared challenger. Although this is Mikhailovich's first fight against a first-rate opponent, the stakes are actually high as well as he possesses every thing to gain. The inquiry is, can he avoid getting knocked senseless early? Or even may he harm the champion early to acquire respect?I believe Mikhailovich's relentless design could possibly trouble Alimkhanuly's counterpunching design, particularly considering that Alimkhanuly has merely gone the total 12 arounds the moment in his career. For Mikhailovich, surviving the very early arounds and also taking the battle deep is going to be actually vital. Alimkhanuly's potential to adapt and also withstand Mikhailovich's hostility as well as punching power will certainly be enjoyable to enjoy.-- BradleyReal or not: Joshua will definitely certainly not get the rematch with Dubois nextDaniel Dubois, right, tore down Anthony Joshua 4 times in the course of his fifth-round KO success to guard the IBF heavyweight planet label. Richard Pelham/Getty ImagesNot real. Joshua, punching's greatest income earner behind Canelo, has gone from closing in on a big, lucrative face-off with the victor of the Dec. 21 Usyk vs. Madness match, to fighting to keep his title appropriate at boxing's top table. To place themself back into serious contention for a megafight in 2025, Joshua requires to gain back some reputation after last month's five-round KO loss to Dubois, as well as the only method he can possibly do that is with a quick rematch.Though his marketer, Matchroom, could certainly not agree, Joshua won't mind taking the skinny edge of a package that will view him experience Dubois in a part two, this time in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, possibly on Feb. 22, since it gives him the quickest route back. The champion of the Dubois vs. Joshua rematch would proceed to experience the victor of Usyk vs. Violence 2 in summer season 2025, potentially back at London's Wembley Arena, the performance of Joshua's humiliating four knockdowns against Dubois facing a UK-record 96,000 followers pair of weeks ago. That match can be for all four primary heavyweight planet titles.Two-time champ Joshua (28-4, 25 KOs), who transforms 35 this month, has actually put away recommendations coming from past pugilists such as Barry McGuigan that he must retire, surrounded by doubts in order to whether he is actually dropping protection to power punches.Dubois (22-2, 21 KOs), 27, is actually also up for a rematch as well as will definitely elaborate his possibilities versus his trembled English opponent. As well as this time around he would certainly be actually spent more.It was actually a turbulent, amusing as well as exhilarating match the very first time around, which would swell pay-per-view sales for a rematch. Yet considering that Dubois vs. Joshua 2 requirements to take place in the winter months and also the U.K. only possesses one stadium with a roofing (Principality Coliseum in Cardiff, Wales, which has a capability of 74,500), it will be an unpleasant surprise to observe this battle property at a U.K. venue.Turki Alalshikh, the best powerful figure in punching who handles schedules that happen on Saudi Arabia-backed punching events, will certainly be keen for such a sizable fight-- some of the largest punching can easily use following year-- happening in Saudi Arabia.Matchroom promoter Eddie Hearn, who resources Joshua's job, claims Joshua has currently conceded terms, while Frank Warren, Dubois' promoter, points out Dubois will certainly deal with once again in February. Warren has likewise conveyed his fervency for a quick rematch, thus expect it to take place.-- ParkinsonReal or not: Round will certainly defend his WBA featherweight label versus RiosNick Ball, left behind, succeeded the WBA featherweight label through beating Raymond Ford in June. Richard Pelham/Getty ImagesReal. Reception has actually been actually famished, sharp as well as hectic symphonious approximately best level over the in 2015, also in battles where he didn't have his palm elevated. The Liverpool-based 5-foot-2 fighter performs not seem to become troubled by a height negative aspect in world headline fights and was actually regrettable to become refused success in a split draw versus Rey Vargas, the WBC featherweight titleholder, in March. What was a lot more impressive was actually Ball's crack selection win over Raymond Ford, who was recently unbeaten, for the WBA waistband, back in June in Riyadh.Rios (34-4, 17 KOs), 34, has certainly not been as active or even in the same type as Round, who are going to have plenty of fire for his very first globe title self defense before his home urban area supporters. Round (20-0-1, 11 KOs), 27, have to be careful, as Rios registered a remarkable fifth-round KO of Nicolas Polanco in April, yet that was the Californian's first getaway in almost pair of years. Vargas likewise outpointed Rios in 2017, as well as Murodjon Akhmadaliev quit Rios in the last round for the WBA as well as IBF junior featherweight world headlines in June 2022. Sphere's energy and also desire will definitely view him guard his WBA belt with a decision triumph.-- Parkinson.
