Cris Esqueda/Golden Boy/Getty ImagesNot real. If everything, the suit could possibly pave the way for a negotiation that consists of an offer for a rematch. The return bout between Garcia and also Haney is actually simply extremely huge to avoid, for both the fighters and the sport.There's the great conflict observing Garcia's beneficial examination as well as succeeding 1 year ban. Haney states the PEDs caused Garcia's shocking functionality, together with the simple fact Garcia was 3.2 extra pounds overweight. Each transgressions are essential to the lawsuit.Haney was as high as a 9-1 beloved however was knocked down 3 attend a distressed loss that was later overturned to a no contest. The match was awesome, and the second battle stands up to be a box office bonanza.After all of, the prevailing thought moving right into the April match was actually that Haney will control. Garcia's habits in the buildup of the fight was therefore negligent that there was reputable worry the bout wouldn't take place at all.Now, along with all the poor blood between the fighters along with Garcia's expanding celebrity energy and also his performance versus Haney (benefits in spite of), there would be actually great interest in a rematch. The lawsuit just adds to the dramatization as well as can be the exact thing that assists connect the problems to make the rematch occur.-- CoppingerReal or not: If Bivol reduces Beterbiev, he'll be the favored to fight Alvarez in MayLight big-time champion Dmitry Bivol, left, defeated Canelo Alvarez by consensual decision in 2022. Etienne Laurent/EPA-EFEReal. Canelo informed ESPN final month that he was targeting a rematch needs to Bivol gain following week. And also why not? Canelo was actually a significant fave versus his previous four opponents and also has been actually largely slammed for his amount of competition.Against Bivol, Canelo would certainly be actually a determined underdog. Bivol transmitted Alvarez when they satisfied in May 2022, in spite of the slender directories. Bivol is actually certainly not just greater yet managed to use his maneuvering and also best boxing ability to befuddle and penalize Alvarez.Editor's Picks2 RelatedCanelo has actually sustained the whole time that he is actually a better competitor than Bivol which his operatively repaired hand will help him verify it in a rematch. This would likewise be actually a legacy match. Canelo would have the chance to not only become undeniable champion at a second body weight training class, however likewise vindicate the second loss of his career (the various other disappointment was against Floyd Mayweather in 2013). What stays to become seen: Bivol's readiness to deal with Canelo again. When the rematch was discussed during the summertime of 2023, Bivol was actually resolute that the struggle has to take place at 168 extra pounds for Canelo's unquestioned championship. Alvarez claimed the fight needed to occur at 175. Whatever weight they pick, this battle is actually without a doubt the greatest possibility for Canelo if he's certainly not visiting experience either David Benavidez or even Terence Crawford. But Bivol first possesses a tremendous problem to encounter versus Beterbiev.-- CoppingerReal or otherwise: Mikhailovich is going to depose AlimkhanulyJanibek Alimkhanuly, left, places his IBF middleweight globe title vulnerable against Andrei Mikhailovich on Friday in Australia. Mikey Williams/Top RankReal: Mikhailovich, of New Zealand, is entering the supplant Australia with a brutal feeling of obligation. He's a threatening and fearless fighter that seems to be ready to unleash after taking a trip to the USA months ago to combat, simply to find that Alimkhanuly fallen short to bring in body weight as well as the fight was postponed.Mikhailovich is a strong puncher, as well as punchers agree to engage to land their strikes, so I expect him to accomplish merely that. On the other hand, much of Alimkhanuly's previous challengers have actually entered the band with insecurity, affected by the hype encompassing the champ. This time Alimkhanuly finds himself outside his comfort area, encountering a figured out, prepared challenger. Although this is actually Mikhailovich's initial battle against an unparalleled opponent, the risks are actually higher and also he possesses every thing to obtain. The question is actually, can he stay away from getting knocked senseless early? Or even can easily he hurt the champion early to obtain respect?I presume Mikhailovich's relentless design can trouble Alimkhanuly's counterpunching style, particularly since Alimkhanuly has only gone the total 12 arounds when in his career. For Mikhailovich, making it through the early arounds and taking the battle deep will be crucial. Alimkhanuly's capacity to adapt and also withstand Mikhailovich's hostility and drilling power will definitely be actually enjoyable to view.-- BradleyReal or not: Joshua will definitely not take the rematch with Dubois nextDaniel Dubois, straight, knocked down Anthony Joshua four opportunities in the course of his fifth-round KO success to defend the IBF heavyweight globe title.

Joshua, boxing's greatest wage earner behind Canelo, has actually gone coming from closing in on a significant, profitable face-off with the champion of the Dec. 21 Usyk vs. Fierceness fight, to eliminating to keep his name relevant at punching's leading desk. To put himself back in to severe combat for a megafight in 2025, Joshua requires to recover some integrity after last month's five-round KO defeat to Dubois, and also the only means he can possibly do that is with an instant rematch.Though his promoter, Matchroom, may certainly not concede, Joshua will not mind taking the slim side of a bargain that are going to observe him encounter Dubois in a part two, this time in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, potentially on Feb. 22, given that it delivers him the quickest course back. The winner of the Dubois vs. Joshua rematch will proceed to face the victor of Usyk vs. Violence 2 in summer season 2025, probably back at Greater london's Wembley Arena, the performance of Joshua's humiliating 4 knockdowns versus Dubois facing a UK-record 96,000 supporters 2 weeks earlier. That battle can be for all four primary big-time globe titles.Two-time champ Joshua (28-4, 25 KOs), that switches 35 this month, has presently dismissed ideas coming from former boxers such as Barry McGuigan that he need to resign, in the middle of uncertainties in order to whether he is shedding resistance to electrical power punches.Dubois (22-2, 21 KOs), 27, is actually also up for a rematch and also will definitely fancy his possibilities against his drunk English opponent. And this time around he will be actually paid for more.It was a turbulent, engaging and also exhilarating fight the first time around, which would certainly swell pay-per-view purchases for a rematch. But given that Dubois vs. Joshua 2 requirements to occur in the wintertime and also the U.K. simply has one stadium with a roof covering (Principality Arena in Cardiff, Wales, which possesses a capability of 74,500), it will be a shock to see this battle property at a U.K. venue.Turki Alalshikh, the absolute most highly effective have a place in punching that handles schedules that occur on Saudi Arabia-backed punching celebrations, are going to be keen for such a sizable battle-- among the most significant boxing can supply upcoming year-- occurring in Saudi Arabia.Matchroom marketer Eddie Hearn, who guides Joshua's job, claims Joshua has actually actually acknowledged conditions, while Frank Warren, Dubois' marketer, mentions Dubois will certainly deal with again in February. Warren has actually likewise shown his fervency for an immediate rematch, thus expect it to happen.-- ParkinsonReal or not: Ball will safeguard his WBA featherweight headline against RiosNick Sphere, left behind, succeeded the WBA featherweight label through beating Raymond Ford in June. Richard Pelham/Getty ImagesReal. Reception has been starving, sharp as well as active in stepping around best level over the in 2015, also in fights where he failed to possess his palm raised. The Liverpool-based 5-foot-2 boxer carries out not appear to be troubled by an elevation disadvantage in world label matches as well as was actually regrettable to become denied victory in a crack draw versus Rey Vargas, the WBC featherweight titleholder, in March. What was even more exceptional was actually Round's crack choice sway Raymond Ford, who was recently unbeaten, for the WBA belt, back in June in Riyadh.Rios (34-4, 17 KOs), 34, has certainly not been as energetic or even in the very same kind as Ball, who will has plenty of fire for his initial world title self defense before his home metropolitan area fans. Round (20-0-1, 11 KOs), 27, need to make sure, as Rios enrolled an excellent fifth-round KO of Nicolas Polanco in April, yet that was the Californian's 1st getaway in virtually two years. Vargas additionally outpointed Rios in 2017, and also Murodjon Akhmadaliev ceased Rios in the final round for the WBA and IBF junior lightweight world titles in June 2022.
