Cris Esqueda/Golden Boy/Getty ImagesNot real. If everything, the suit can break the ice for a resolution that includes a package for a rematch. The gain stint between Garcia and Haney is just extremely big to skip, for both the competitors and also the sport.There's the immense conflict adhering to Garcia's positive exam as well as subsequent 1 year ban. Haney asserts the PEDs resulted in Garcia's surprising performance, together with the reality Garcia was actually 3.2 pounds overweight. Each offenses are key to the lawsuit.Haney was actually as long as a 9-1 favorite however was actually floored 3 attend a dismayed reduction that was actually later reversed to a no contest. The match was thrilling, and also the 2nd match stands up to become a ticket office bonanza.After all of, the prevailing idea heading right into the April matchup was actually that Haney would control. Garcia's behavior in the build-up of the match was actually thus negligent that there was actually reputable worry the bout would not happen at all.Now, along with all the poor blood stream in between the boxers in addition to Garcia's increasing superstar energy and his functionality versus Haney (perks in spite of), there would be actually tremendous interest in a rematch. The claim merely contributes to the dramatization and also might be the actual trait that helps unite the issues to bring in the rematch happen.-- CoppingerReal or not: If Bivol defeats Beterbiev, he'll be the beloved to fight Alvarez in MayLight heavyweight champion Dmitry Bivol, left, defeated Canelo Alvarez through unanimous decision in 2022. Etienne Laurent/EPA-EFEReal. Canelo said to ESPN final month that he was actually targeting a rematch needs to Bivol gain following week. And also why not? Canelo was a significant fave versus his previous four challengers as well as has been commonly criticized for his amount of competition.Against Bivol, Canelo would be a decided longshot. Bivol transmitted Alvarez when they met in May 2022, even with the slim scorecards. Bivol is actually certainly not just greater however had the ability to utilize his footwork and elite boxing capacity to baffle as well as reprimand Alvarez.Editor's Picks2 RelatedCanelo has actually preserved all along that he is actually a much better competitor than Bivol and also his operatively fixed palm will help him show it in a rematch. This will likewise be a heritage fight. Canelo would have the chance to not simply become recognized champion at a 2nd body weight training class, yet additionally avenge the second loss of his profession (the other disappointment protested Floyd Mayweather in 2013). What continues to be to be observed: Bivol's willingness to battle Canelo once again. When the rematch was actually explained during the summer of 2023, Bivol was actually staunch that the fight must happen at 168 pounds for Canelo's undeniable championship. Alvarez claimed the battle needed to have to take place at 175. Whatever weight they pick, this battle is without a doubt the most ideal alternative for Canelo if he's certainly not heading to face either David Benavidez or even Terence Crawford. But Bivol initially has an enormous difficulty to experience against Beterbiev.-- CoppingerReal or not: Mikhailovich will uncrown AlimkhanulyJanibek Alimkhanuly, left, places his IBF middleweight world headline vulnerable against Andrei Mikhailovich on Friday in Australia. Mikey Williams/Top RankReal: Mikhailovich, of New Zealand, is actually entering the ring in Australia along with a brutal feeling of accountability. He is actually a hostile and brave boxer who appears all set to release after taking a trip to the U.S. months ago to eliminate, simply to find that Alimkhanuly failed to bring in weight and the fight was postponed.Mikhailovich is actually an effective puncher, as well as punchers agree to take on to land their strikes, so I anticipate him to do simply that. On the other hand, a lot of Alimkhanuly's previous opponents have actually entered the ring with self-doubt, determined due to the buzz surrounding the champion. This time Alimkhanuly discovers himself outside his convenience area, experiencing a figured out, willing opposition. Although this is actually Mikhailovich's very first battle versus a world-class opponent, the concerns are actually higher and also he possesses everything to obtain. The inquiry is, can he prevent obtaining knocked senseless early? Or even may he harm the champion early to gain respect?I assume Mikhailovich's relentless style can impose on Alimkhanuly's counterpunching style, specifically given that Alimkhanuly has actually merely gone the full 12 rounds as soon as in his career. For Mikhailovich, enduring the early rounds and taking the battle deep will definitely be actually essential. Alimkhanuly's potential to adapt and resist Mikhailovich's aggressiveness and also drilling power will be fun to check out.-- BradleyReal or otherwise: Joshua will definitely certainly not take the rematch with Dubois nextDaniel Dubois, straight, tore down Anthony Joshua 4 opportunities during the course of his fifth-round KO triumph to safeguard the IBF heavyweight world title. Richard Pelham/Getty ImagesNot real. Joshua, punching's most significant income earner responsible for Canelo, has gone from closing with it a large, financially rewarding showdown along with the victor of the Dec. 21 Usyk vs. Violence match, to overcoming to maintain his name pertinent at boxing's top table. To put themself back right into significant altercation for a megafight in 2025, Joshua requires to restore some integrity after final month's five-round KO loss to Dubois, and the only means he can possibly do that is actually along with a prompt rematch.Though his promoter, Matchroom, may certainly not concur, Joshua won't mind taking the thin edge of a deal that will certainly observe him encounter Dubois in a follow up, this time in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, possibly on Feb. 22, considering that it gives him the quickest course back. The champion of the Dubois vs. Joshua rematch would advance to encounter the winner of Usyk vs. Frenzy 2 in summer 2025, potentially back at Greater london's Wembley Stadium, the scene of Joshua's humiliating four presentations versus Dubois in front of a UK-record 96,000 enthusiasts pair of full weeks back. That match might be for all 4 significant big-time world titles.Two-time champ Joshua (28-4, 25 KOs), that switches 35 this month, has currently put away recommendations coming from past fighters including Barry McGuigan that he ought to retire, surrounded by doubts in order to whether he is losing resistance to energy punches.Dubois (22-2, 21 KOs), 27, is actually likewise up for a rematch as well as will lavish his chances versus his drunk English competitor. And also this moment he would certainly be actually paid more.It was a chaotic, amusing as well as awesome fight the very first time around, which would swell pay-per-view purchases for a rematch. But since Dubois vs. Joshua 2 needs to occur in the wintertime and the U.K. merely has one arena with a roofing system (Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales, which possesses an ability of 74,500), it would certainly be an unpleasant surprise to find this fight property at a U.K. venue.Turki Alalshikh, one of the most powerful have a place in punching that controls schedules that take place on Saudi Arabia-backed punching occasions, are going to be eager for such a huge fight-- some of the most significant punching can easily use following year-- happening in Saudi Arabia.Matchroom promoter Eddie Hearn, who guides Joshua's occupation, states Joshua has actually actually conceded phrases, while Frank Warren, Dubois' promoter, claims Dubois will fight once more in February. Warren has actually also expressed his gusto for an instant rematch, therefore expect it to take place.-- ParkinsonReal or otherwise: Round will certainly defend his WBA featherweight headline against RiosNick Sphere, left, succeeded the WBA featherweight headline by beating Raymond Ford in June. Richard Pelham/Getty ImagesReal. Reception has been famished, alert as well as busy in stepping approximately best degree over the last year, even in fights where he really did not possess his hand raised. The Liverpool-based 5-foot-2 pugilist carries out not appear to be bothered through an elevation disadvantage in world title fights and also was actually unlucky to be refused victory in a crack draw versus Rey Vargas, the WBC featherweight titleholder, in March. What was actually more excellent was actually Ball's crack decision gain Raymond Ford, who was actually formerly unbeaten, for the WBA belt, back in June in Riyadh.Rios (34-4, 17 KOs), 34, has certainly not been as energetic or in the same kind as Sphere, who will definitely be full of fire for his first globe headline defense facing his home city fans. Ball (20-0-1, 11 KOs), 27, have to take care, as Rios registered an excellent fifth-round KO of Nicolas Polanco in April, however that was the Californian's initial day trip in virtually two years. Vargas likewise outpointed Rios in 2017, and Murodjon Akhmadaliev quit Rios in the last around for the WBA as well as IBF junior lightweight planet labels in June 2022. Round's energy and also wish will see him protect his WBA belt with a decision triumph.-- Parkinson.
