Cris Esqueda/Golden Boy/Getty ImagesNot real. If just about anything, the suit might lead the way for a settlement deal that features a deal for a rematch. The gain bout between Garcia and Haney is actually simply extremely major to miss, for both the boxers and also the sport.There's the astounding controversy following Garcia's positive exam and also subsequent 1 year restriction. Haney declares the PEDs caused Garcia's surprising functionality, in addition to the truth Garcia was actually 3.2 pounds overweight. Both infractions are crucial to the lawsuit.Haney was as high as a 9-1 favored yet was knocked down three attend a distressed reduction that was actually eventually rescinded to a no contest. The match was actually exhilarating, as well as the second match stands to become a ticket office bonanza.After all, the prevailing thought heading into the April competition was actually that Haney will dominate. Garcia's behavior in the buildup of the match was actually so careless that there was legit fear the battle would not happen at all.Now, with all the negative blood stream between the competitors in addition to Garcia's expanding celebrity electrical power and also his performance against Haney (conveniences notwithstanding), there would certainly be actually enormous passion in a rematch. The legal action simply contributes to the drama and might be the exact point that aids connect the issues to make the rematch occur.-- CoppingerReal or not: If Bivol reduces Beterbiev, he'll be the preferred to fight Alvarez in MayLight heavyweight champ Dmitry Bivol, left behind, defeated Canelo Alvarez through unanimous decision in 2022. Etienne Laurent/EPA-EFEReal. Canelo told ESPN final month that he was targeting a rematch needs to Bivol succeed upcoming full week. And why not? Canelo was a significant fave versus his past four rivals and also has been actually widely criticized for his level of competition.Against Bivol, Canelo would certainly be actually a chosen underdog. Bivol transmitted Alvarez when they fulfilled in May 2022, despite the slender scorecards. Bivol is actually not merely bigger however was able to use his maneuvering and best punching potential to bewilder and penalize Alvarez.Editor's Picks2 RelatedCanelo has sustained during that he is actually a much better competitor than Bivol and also his operatively restored palm is going to assist him prove it in a rematch. This would additionally be a tradition fight. Canelo will possess the odds to certainly not merely end up being indisputable champion at a second weight class, but also retaliate the second reduction of his job (the various other disappointment was against Floyd Mayweather in 2013). What continues to be to be viewed: Bivol's willingness to deal with Canelo again. When the rematch was gone over during the course of the summer of 2023, Bivol was unyielding that the match should occur at 168 pounds for Canelo's undeniable championship. Alvarez mentioned the match needed to happen at 175. Whatever body weight they pick, this battle is by far the best possibility for Canelo if he's not visiting face either David Benavidez or Terence Crawford. But Bivol first has an incredible obstacle to deal with versus Beterbiev.-- CoppingerReal or otherwise: Mikhailovich is going to displace AlimkhanulyJanibek Alimkhanuly, left behind, puts his IBF middleweight planet title vulnerable versus Andrei Mikhailovich on Friday in Australia. Mikey Williams/Top RankReal: Mikhailovich, of New Zealand, is stepping into the supplant Australia with a ferocious sense of obligation. He is actually a hostile as well as courageous fighter who seems to be all set to release after traveling to the united state months ago to fight, only to discover that Alimkhanuly stopped working to make weight and also the fight was postponed.Mikhailovich is actually an effective puncher, and also punchers agree to take on to land their strikes, so I anticipate him to carry out simply that. On the other hand, a lot of Alimkhanuly's previous challengers have actually gone into the band with insecurity, determined by the buzz encompassing the champ. This moment Alimkhanuly finds themself outside his comfort region, dealing with a figured out, ready opposition. Although this is actually Mikhailovich's first battle versus a world-class rival, the stakes are higher and also he has every thing to obtain. The inquiry is, can he stay clear of acquiring knocked out early? Or can he injure the champion early to gain respect?I presume Mikhailovich's relentless type could possibly trouble Alimkhanuly's counterpunching design, particularly since Alimkhanuly has simply gone the total 12 spheres the moment in his job. For Mikhailovich, surviving the early rounds as well as taking the battle deep will certainly be crucial. Alimkhanuly's capacity to conform and withstand Mikhailovich's aggression and punching energy will be actually fun to check out.-- BradleyReal or not: Joshua will definitely not get the rematch along with Dubois nextDaniel Dubois, right, brought down Anthony Joshua four times during his fifth-round KO victory to defend the IBF heavyweight world title. Richard Pelham/Getty ImagesNot real. Joshua, punching's largest income earner behind Canelo, has actually gone from closing with it a big, financially rewarding showdown with the winner of the Dec. 21 Usyk vs. Fierceness match, to combating to keep his label relevant at punching's top table. To place himself back into significant hostility for a megafight in 2025, Joshua needs to have to recover some reliability after last month's five-round KO loss to Dubois, as well as the only means he may do that is with an instant rematch.Though his promoter, Matchroom, might not agree, Joshua won't mind taking the skinny edge of a deal that are going to view him face Dubois in a part two, this time around in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, possibly on Feb. 22, given that it provides him the quickest course back. The champion of the Dubois vs. Joshua rematch would certainly progress to experience the victor of Usyk vs. Rabidity 2 in summer 2025, probably back at Greater london's Wembley Stadium, the scene of Joshua's embarrassing four knockdowns against Dubois facing a UK-record 96,000 supporters pair of full weeks ago. That match could be for all four significant big-time planet titles.Two-time champ Joshua (28-4, 25 KOs), who switches 35 this month, has actually currently dismissed suggestions coming from former boxers including Barry McGuigan that he should retire, surrounded by hesitations as to whether he is dropping resistance to energy punches.Dubois (22-2, 21 KOs), 27, is also up for a rematch as well as will definitely expensive his opportunities versus his drunk English competitor. And this time he would certainly be actually spent more.It was a disorderly, enjoyable as well as exhilarating match the first time around, which would swell pay-per-view purchases for a rematch. Yet due to the fact that Dubois vs. Joshua 2 requirements to occur in the winter season and the U.K. simply has one stadium along with a roof (Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales, which has a capability of 74,500), it would be actually a shock to find this fight property at a U.K. venue.Turki Alalshikh, the absolute most strong have a place in punching that regulates lineups that take place on Saudi Arabia-backed boxing occasions, will be actually interested for such a sizable battle-- among the largest punching can use following year-- occurring in Saudi Arabia.Matchroom marketer Eddie Hearn, that quick guides Joshua's occupation, claims Joshua has actually already concurred phrases, while Frank Warren, Dubois' marketer, mentions Dubois will deal with once more in February. Warren has actually also shared his gusto for a prompt rematch, so anticipate it to occur.-- ParkinsonReal or not: Round will defend his WBA featherweight label against RiosNick Round, left behind, gained the WBA featherweight headline by defeating Raymond Ford in June. Richard Pelham/Getty ImagesReal. Reception has been famished, alert as well as occupied symphonious approximately elite level over the in 2015, also in battles where he really did not possess his hand increased. The Liverpool-based 5-foot-2 fighter does not seem to become bothered by a height drawback in globe headline battles and was actually unfavorable to become refuted success in a crack draw against Rey Vargas, the WBC featherweight titleholder, in March. What was actually more impressive was actually Ball's crack choice get Raymond Ford, who was actually earlier undefeated, for the WBA waistband, back in June in Riyadh.Rios (34-4, 17 KOs), 34, has actually certainly not been actually as active or in the exact same type as Sphere, that will has plenty of fire for his initial planet label protection facing his home urban area enthusiasts. Round (20-0-1, 11 KOs), 27, need to make sure, as Rios signed up an exceptional fifth-round KO of Nicolas Polanco in April, yet that was the Californian's very first trip in practically pair of years. Vargas additionally outpointed Rios in 2017, as well as Murodjon Akhmadaliev stopped Rios in the last round for the WBA and also IBF junior light planet labels in June 2022.
