Cris Esqueda/Golden Boy/Getty ImagesNot real. If anything, the suit could pave the way for a settlement that consists of a deal for a rematch. The gain stint between Garcia and also Haney is actually just too big to pass up, for both the competitors and the sport.There's the great controversy adhering to Garcia's beneficial examination as well as succeeding 1 year ban. Haney professes the PEDs led to Garcia's shocking performance, together with the simple fact Garcia was 3.2 pounds over weight. Each violations are crucial to the lawsuit.Haney was actually as long as a 9-1 beloved yet was actually knocked down 3 times in a distressed reduction that was actually later on reversed to a no contest. The fight was awesome, as well as the second bout stands to be a ticket office bonanza.After all, the dominating thought moving into the April match was actually that Haney would control. Garcia's habits in the build-up of the match was actually therefore careless that there was valid dread the match definitely would not take place at all.Now, with all the bad blood stream in between the boxers alongside Garcia's growing star electrical power and his performance against Haney (advantages regardless of), there would certainly be tremendous rate of interest in a rematch. The suit just contributes to the dramatization and also might be the exact trait that helps unite the concerns to make the rematch happen.-- CoppingerReal or otherwise: If Bivol reduces Beterbiev, he'll be actually the beloved to combat Alvarez in MayLight heavyweight champ Dmitry Bivol, left behind, defeated Canelo Alvarez through consensual choice in 2022. Etienne Laurent/EPA-EFEReal. Canelo told ESPN last month that he was targeting a rematch ought to Bivol win following full week. And why certainly not? Canelo was a major favorite against his past four enemies and also has been actually largely criticized for his degree of competition.Against Bivol, Canelo would be a decided underdog. Bivol transmitted Alvarez when they met in May 2022, in spite of the narrow directories. Bivol is actually not merely bigger but had the ability to use his maneuvering and best punching ability to bewilder and penalize Alvarez.Editor's Picks2 RelatedCanelo has actually sustained the whole time that he is actually a far better boxer than Bivol which his operatively mended hand will definitely assist him prove it in a rematch. This will likewise be a tradition fight. Canelo would have the possibility to certainly not simply come to be unquestioned champion at a second body weight training class, but likewise retaliate the 2nd loss of his career (the various other defeat was against Floyd Mayweather in 2013). What remains to become found: Bivol's determination to battle Canelo once again. When the rematch was reviewed in the course of the summer months of 2023, Bivol was unfaltering that the bout should take place at 168 extra pounds for Canelo's uncontested champion. Alvarez pointed out the battle needed to have to happen at 175. Whatever weight they choose, this battle is easily the best alternative for Canelo if he is actually not mosting likely to experience either David Benavidez or even Terence Crawford. Yet Bivol first has a significant problem to experience against Beterbiev.-- CoppingerReal or otherwise: Mikhailovich will certainly dismiss AlimkhanulyJanibek Alimkhanuly, left behind, puts his IBF middleweight planet headline on the line versus Andrei Mikhailovich on Friday in Australia. Mikey Williams/Top RankReal: Mikhailovich, of New Zealand, is stepping into the supplant Australia with a fierce feeling of obligation. He's a hostile and also courageous boxer that seems to be ready to discharge after traveling to the USA months ago to fight, just to discover that Alimkhanuly neglected to create body weight and also the battle was actually postponed.Mikhailovich is actually a powerful puncher, and punchers want to take on to land their strikes, so I anticipate him to perform only that. On the other hand, a number of Alimkhanuly's previous challengers have actually entered the band along with insecurity, affected by the hype encompassing the champion. This moment Alimkhanuly locates themself outside his convenience zone, encountering a figured out, willing opposition. Although this is Mikhailovich's first fight versus a first-rate rival, the stakes are high and also he has every little thing to gain. The question is, can he avoid receiving knocked out early? Or may he harm the champion early to acquire respect?I believe Mikhailovich's relentless type could trouble Alimkhanuly's counterpunching design, particularly given that Alimkhanuly has actually simply gone the comprehensive 12 arounds the moment in his career. For Mikhailovich, enduring the early spheres and taking the fight deep will certainly be essential. Alimkhanuly's capability to adapt as well as endure Mikhailovich's aggression and also drilling electrical power will be actually exciting to enjoy.-- BradleyReal or otherwise: Joshua will definitely not get the rematch with Dubois nextDaniel Dubois, right, brought down Anthony Joshua 4 times during the course of his fifth-round KO triumph to defend the IBF heavyweight planet label. Richard Pelham/Getty ImagesNot real. Joshua, boxing's most significant earner behind Canelo, has actually gone coming from closing with it a substantial, profitable showdown with the winner of the Dec. 21 Usyk vs. Fierceness battle, to eliminating to keep his title pertinent at boxing's top table. To put themself back in to major hostility for a megafight in 2025, Joshua needs to have to recover some credibility after final month's five-round KO defeat to Dubois, and also the only way he may do that is actually with a prompt rematch.Though his promoter, Matchroom, may not concur, Joshua will not mind taking the thin edge of a bargain that will see him face Dubois in a sequel, this time around in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, likely on Feb. 22, because it delivers him the quickest path back. The champion of the Dubois vs. Joshua rematch would certainly advance to deal with the winner of Usyk vs. Fierceness 2 in summer season 2025, perhaps back at London's Wembley Coliseum, the performance of Joshua's humiliating 4 knockdowns versus Dubois in front of a UK-record 96,000 followers 2 full weeks back. That battle may be for all four significant big-time world titles.Two-time champ Joshua (28-4, 25 KOs), who transforms 35 this month, has actually presently put away ideas coming from former pugilists like Barry McGuigan that he should retire, amid uncertainties regarding whether he is actually dropping protection to power punches.Dubois (22-2, 21 KOs), 27, is additionally up for a rematch as well as will definitely elaborate his chances against his shaken English competitor. And this moment he would certainly be paid more.It was a turbulent, engaging and awesome fight the first time around, which will swell pay-per-view purchases for a rematch. However given that Dubois vs. Joshua 2 needs to happen in the winter season as well as the U.K. merely has one stadium with a roofing (Principality Coliseum in Cardiff, Wales, which possesses an ability of 74,500), it would certainly be actually a shock to see this fight property at a U.K. venue.Turki Alalshikh, the best highly effective have a place in punching who regulates lineups that take place on Saudi Arabia-backed boxing activities, will certainly be keen for such a large battle-- some of the most significant boxing can easily use next year-- occurring in Saudi Arabia.Matchroom marketer Eddie Hearn, that quick guides Joshua's career, states Joshua has actually already concurred conditions, while Frank Warren, Dubois' marketer, says Dubois will definitely combat once again in February. Warren has actually also shared his fervency for an urgent rematch, therefore anticipate it to happen.-- ParkinsonReal or otherwise: Round will certainly protect his WBA featherweight label versus RiosNick Ball, left, gained the WBA featherweight headline by beating Raymond Ford in June. Richard Pelham/Getty ImagesReal. Reception has been actually famished, alert and occupied in stepping approximately best amount over the last year, even in matches where he really did not possess his hand increased. The Liverpool-based 5-foot-2 boxer performs not seem to become bothered by an elevation negative aspect in world title battles and was unfortunate to be rejected victory in a split draw against Rey Vargas, the WBC featherweight titleholder, in March. What was much more outstanding was Round's crack decision draw Raymond Ford, that was actually previously unbeaten, for the WBA belt, back in June in Riyadh.Rios (34-4, 17 KOs), 34, has actually not been as active or in the exact same form as Round, who will certainly be full of fire for his 1st world title self defense facing his home city fans. Ball (20-0-1, 11 KOs), 27, need to be careful, as Rios signed up an impressive fifth-round KO of Nicolas Polanco in April, yet that was actually the Californian's initial outing in almost pair of years. Vargas additionally outpointed Rios in 2017, and Murodjon Akhmadaliev ceased Rios in the last sphere for the WBA and IBF junior lightweight planet labels in June 2022. Sphere's power and desire will observe him shield his WBA belt along with a decision victory.-- Parkinson.
