Cris Esqueda/Golden Boy/Getty ImagesNot real. If just about anything, the suit might break the ice for a settlement deal that includes an offer for a rematch. The return round between Garcia as well as Haney is actually merely very big to skip, for both the competitors and also the sport.There's the immense conflict observing Garcia's good exam and also subsequent 1 year restriction. Haney claims the PEDs resulted in Garcia's surprising functionality, in addition to the truth Garcia was actually 3.2 extra pounds obese. Both violations are actually key to the lawsuit.Haney was actually as high as a 9-1 favored but was actually knocked down three attend an upset reduction that was actually eventually overturned to a no contest. The fight was actually exhilarating, as well as the second battle stands to become a ticket office bonanza.After all of, the prevailing thought and feelings heading right into the April competition was that Haney will dominate. Garcia's actions in the build-up of the match was actually thus reckless that there was actually genuine dread the battle definitely would not occur at all.Now, along with all the negative blood in between the competitors in addition to Garcia's developing celebrity electrical power and also his efficiency versus Haney (advantages nevertheless), there will be actually immense rate of interest in a rematch. The legal action just adds to the drama as well as could be the actual thing that aids unite the issues to bring in the rematch occur.-- CoppingerReal or not: If Bivol reduces Beterbiev, he'll be actually the favored to fight Alvarez in MayLight heavyweight champion Dmitry Bivol, left behind, defeated Canelo Alvarez by unanimous decision in 2022. Etienne Laurent/EPA-EFEReal. Canelo said to ESPN final month that he was actually targeting a rematch ought to Bivol succeed next full week. And also why not? Canelo was actually a major preference against his previous 4 rivals and also has actually been actually largely slammed for his level of competition.Against Bivol, Canelo will be actually a determined longshot. Bivol directed Alvarez when they satisfied in May 2022, regardless of the narrow scorecards. Bivol is actually certainly not just greater yet was able to use his maneuvering as well as best punching ability to bewilder and reprimand Alvarez.Editor's Picks2 RelatedCanelo has actually maintained during that he's a much better competitor than Bivol and that his surgically repaired hand will definitely help him show it in a rematch. This will likewise be a legacy battle. Canelo would possess the odds to certainly not merely come to be indisputable champion at a 2nd weight lesson, yet likewise avenge the 2nd reduction of his occupation (the various other defeat was against Floyd Mayweather in 2013). What stays to become observed: Bivol's willingness to fight Canelo once more. When the rematch was actually explained during the course of the summer season of 2023, Bivol was actually unwavering that the fight should happen at 168 pounds for Canelo's indisputable championship. Alvarez said the match required to take place at 175. Whatever weight they pick, this fight is without a doubt the very best alternative for Canelo if he's certainly not going to face either David Benavidez or even Terence Crawford. Yet Bivol first has an incredible difficulty to encounter versus Beterbiev.-- CoppingerReal or not: Mikhailovich will displace AlimkhanulyJanibek Alimkhanuly, left behind, puts his IBF middleweight world title vulnerable versus Andrei Mikhailovich on Friday in Australia. Mikey Williams/Top RankReal: Mikhailovich, of New Zealand, is stepping into the supplant Australia along with a strong sense of accountability. He is actually a threatening as well as fearless fighter that appears prepared to let loose after journeying to the U.S. months ago to combat, merely to find out that Alimkhanuly fallen short to create weight and the match was actually postponed.Mikhailovich is an effective puncher, and also punchers want to engage to land their strikes, so I expect him to carry out merely that. In contrast, many of Alimkhanuly's previous rivals have gone into the band with self-doubt, affected by the buzz surrounding the champion. This time Alimkhanuly finds themself outside his convenience area, encountering an established, prepared opposition. Although this is Mikhailovich's very first fight against a first-rate rival, the risks are actually higher and also he possesses every thing to gain. The question is actually, can he steer clear of receiving knocked senseless early? Or may he harm the champ early to obtain respect?I assume Mikhailovich's relentless type could trouble Alimkhanuly's counterpunching type, particularly considering that Alimkhanuly has merely gone the complete 12 spheres when in his occupation. For Mikhailovich, making it through the early arounds as well as taking the battle deep will certainly be actually vital. Alimkhanuly's ability to conform and also resist Mikhailovich's hostility as well as punching electrical power is going to be actually fun to watch.-- BradleyReal or not: Joshua is going to not get the rematch along with Dubois nextDaniel Dubois, straight, brought down Anthony Joshua 4 times in the course of his fifth-round KO success to defend the IBF heavyweight world label. Richard Pelham/Getty ImagesNot real. Joshua, boxing's most significant earner responsible for Canelo, has gone coming from closing know a large, beneficial showdown along with the victor of the Dec. 21 Usyk vs. Rabidity match, to overcoming to maintain his name relevant at punching's best desk. To put himself back in to severe contention for a megafight in 2025, Joshua needs to have to restore some credibility after final month's five-round KO defeat to Dubois, as well as the only way he can do that is actually with a prompt rematch.Though his marketer, Matchroom, could not concede, Joshua won't mind taking the slim side of a bargain that will certainly observe him experience Dubois in a sequel, this time around in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, possibly on Feb. 22, given that it offers him the quickest route back. The winner of the Dubois vs. Joshua rematch will proceed to face the victor of Usyk vs. Frenzy 2 in summer season 2025, probably back at Greater london's Wembley Arena, the scene of Joshua's humiliating 4 presentations versus Dubois before a UK-record 96,000 enthusiasts two full weeks ago. That match may be for all 4 significant big-time planet titles.Two-time champion Joshua (28-4, 25 KOs), that switches 35 this month, has currently dismissed suggestions coming from past pugilists including Barry McGuigan that he should retire, amid questions in order to whether he is actually shedding protection to power punches.Dubois (22-2, 21 KOs), 27, is actually additionally up for a rematch and also will definitely expensive his chances versus his trembled English opponent. And this moment he would be actually paid more.It was actually a disorderly, engaging and also electrifying match the very first time around, which will swell pay-per-view sales for a rematch. Yet because Dubois vs. Joshua 2 requirements to occur in the winter season as well as the U.K. merely possesses one coliseum along with a roofing system (Principality Coliseum in Cardiff, Wales, which has a capability of 74,500), it will be actually an unpleasant surprise to view this fight land at a U.K. venue.Turki Alalshikh, one of the most strong figure in punching that handles schedules that occur on Saudi Arabia-backed boxing occasions, will definitely be eager for such a large match-- some of the greatest boxing may give upcoming year-- happening in Saudi Arabia.Matchroom marketer Eddie Hearn, who overviews Joshua's job, states Joshua has actually actually agreed conditions, while Frank Warren, Dubois' marketer, states Dubois is going to battle once again in February. Warren has actually also revealed his gusto for a quick rematch, so expect it to happen.-- ParkinsonReal or otherwise: Round will shield his WBA featherweight title versus RiosNick Sphere, left, won the WBA featherweight title by defeating Raymond Ford in June. Richard Pelham/Getty ImagesReal. Reception has actually been famished, sharp as well as active in stepping as much as elite amount over the in 2015, even in fights where he didn't have his palm increased. The Liverpool-based 5-foot-2 pugilist performs not seem to become bothered by a height drawback in planet title fights as well as was actually regrettable to be rejected success in a crack draw against Rey Vargas, the WBC featherweight holder, in March. What was much more exceptional was Round's crack choice gain Raymond Ford, that was previously undefeated, for the WBA waistband, back in June in Riyadh.Rios (34-4, 17 KOs), 34, has certainly not been actually as active or even in the very same form as Round, that will certainly have lots of fire for his first planet label self defense facing his home urban area followers. Ball (20-0-1, 11 KOs), 27, need to beware, as Rios signed up an exceptional fifth-round KO of Nicolas Polanco in April, but that was actually the Californian's very first outing in virtually two years. Vargas also outpointed Rios in 2017, and Murodjon Akhmadaliev ceased Rios in the final around for the WBA and IBF junior lightweight world labels in June 2022. Ball's electricity as well as wish are going to observe him defend his WBA waistband along with a selection success.-- Parkinson.
