Cris Esqueda/Golden Boy/Getty ImagesNot real. If everything, the claim might pave the way for a settlement that consists of a bargain for a rematch. The yield stint in between Garcia and also Haney is simply too large to pass up, for both the fighters and also the sport.There's the tremendous debate following Garcia's beneficial exam and also subsequent 1 year restriction. Haney states the PEDs resulted in Garcia's stunning functionality, in addition to the simple fact Garcia was actually 3.2 extra pounds overweight. Each violations are actually essential to the lawsuit.Haney was actually as high as a 9-1 preferred yet was actually floored 3 times in a distressed loss that was later rescinded to a no competition. The fight was actually exhilarating, as well as the 2nd match stands up to be a box office bonanza.After all, the prevailing notion heading into the April competition was actually that Haney would dominate. Garcia's habits in the accumulation of the fight was so negligent that there was actually valid are afraid of the bout wouldn't take place at all.Now, along with all the poor blood between the fighters along with Garcia's increasing star electrical power and also his efficiency against Haney (advantages notwithstanding), there would be actually huge interest in a rematch. The suit just adds to the dramatization and may be the very trait that helps connect the problems to create the rematch take place.-- CoppingerReal or not: If Bivol defeats Beterbiev, he'll be the beloved to eliminate Alvarez in MayLight heavyweight champ Dmitry Bivol, left behind, defeated Canelo Alvarez by consentaneous decision in 2022. Etienne Laurent/EPA-EFEReal. Canelo informed ESPN final month that he was actually targeting a rematch must Bivol succeed following full week. And also why not? Canelo was actually a significant fave versus his previous four enemies and has actually been commonly slammed for his amount of competition.Against Bivol, Canelo would be actually a made a decision longshot. Bivol routed Alvarez when they met in May 2022, even with the narrow directories. Bivol is not simply larger yet was able to utilize his maneuvering and also best boxing potential to bewilder as well as reprimand Alvarez.Editor's Picks2 RelatedCanelo has actually preserved the whole time that he is actually a much better fighter than Bivol which his operatively mended palm will definitely assist him verify it in a rematch. This will additionally be a tradition fight. Canelo would certainly possess the odds to certainly not only become undeniable champ at a 2nd weight lesson, but likewise avenge the second reduction of his job (the various other defeat protested Floyd Mayweather in 2013). What remains to be viewed: Bivol's willingness to battle Canelo once more. When the rematch was actually reviewed during the summer months of 2023, Bivol was actually steadfast that the battle needs to occur at 168 pounds for Canelo's indisputable champion. Alvarez pointed out the fight needed to occur at 175. Whatever weight they settle on, this match is easily the best possibility for Canelo if he is actually certainly not heading to encounter either David Benavidez or Terence Crawford. However Bivol first has a significant challenge to deal with against Beterbiev.-- CoppingerReal or not: Mikhailovich will definitely uncrown AlimkhanulyJanibek Alimkhanuly, left, puts his IBF middleweight world label on the line versus Andrei Mikhailovich on Friday in Australia. Mikey Williams/Top RankReal: Mikhailovich, of New Zealand, is actually entering the supplant Australia along with a strong feeling of duty. He is actually a threatening and also brave competitor that seems ready to let loose after traveling to the USA months ago to eliminate, only to find that Alimkhanuly fallen short to create weight and also the battle was actually postponed.Mikhailovich is actually a highly effective puncher, and punchers agree to take on to land their strikes, so I expect him to accomplish simply that. In contrast, most of Alimkhanuly's previous enemies have actually entered into the ring with insecurity, determined by the hype neighboring the champion. This time Alimkhanuly discovers themself outside his comfort region, experiencing a determined, willing challenger. Although this is Mikhailovich's 1st match versus an unparalleled rival, the stakes are actually higher and also he possesses whatever to acquire. The concern is, can he steer clear of acquiring knocked senseless early? Or even may he hurt the champ early to gain respect?I assume Mikhailovich's relentless style could possibly impose on Alimkhanuly's counterpunching style, specifically because Alimkhanuly has only gone the complete 12 spheres when in his occupation. For Mikhailovich, making it through the early rounds and taking the match deep will certainly be crucial. Alimkhanuly's capability to adjust and also stand up to Mikhailovich's aggressiveness and also drilling electrical power will be actually fun to view.-- BradleyReal or otherwise: Joshua will certainly not get the rematch along with Dubois nextDaniel Dubois, right, brought down Anthony Joshua four times during his fifth-round KO victory to safeguard the IBF abundant world label.

Joshua, boxing's greatest income earner behind Canelo, has gone coming from closing know a substantial, rewarding face-off with the winner of the Dec. 21 Usyk vs. Violence fight, to overcoming to maintain his name appropriate at punching's leading table. To place themself back in to serious hostility for a megafight in 2025, Joshua requires to restore some credibility after last month's five-round KO defeat to Dubois, as well as the only means he may do that is with a prompt rematch.Though his marketer, Matchroom, could not agree, Joshua will not mind taking the slim edge of a deal that are going to find him experience Dubois in a part two, this time in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, possibly on Feb. 22, due to the fact that it supplies him the quickest path back. The champion of the Dubois vs. Joshua rematch would advance to deal with the winner of Usyk vs. Rage 2 in summertime 2025, probably back at London's Wembley Coliseum, the scene of Joshua's embarrassing four presentations against Dubois before a UK-record 96,000 enthusiasts pair of weeks ago. That fight could be for all 4 primary heavyweight planet titles.Two-time champion Joshua (28-4, 25 KOs), who turns 35 this month, has actually currently put away ideas from former pugilists like Barry McGuigan that he need to resign, surrounded by uncertainties concerning whether he is shedding resistance to power punches.Dubois (22-2, 21 KOs), 27, is actually also up for a rematch and is going to fancy his possibilities against his shaken English opponent. And also this time he would be actually paid for more.It was actually a turbulent, enjoyable and exhilarating fight the first time around, which will swell pay-per-view sales for a rematch. However due to the fact that Dubois vs. Joshua 2 necessities to happen in the winter as well as the U.K. merely possesses one stadium along with a roof (Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales, which has a capability of 74,500), it will be an unpleasant surprise to view this fight land at a U.K. venue.Turki Alalshikh, the most powerful figure in punching that handles lineups that take place on Saudi Arabia-backed punching celebrations, will definitely be actually eager for such a huge battle-- some of the largest boxing may use following year-- happening in Saudi Arabia.Matchroom marketer Eddie Hearn, who overviews Joshua's profession, claims Joshua has currently acknowledged terms, while Frank Warren, Dubois' marketer, mentions Dubois will certainly deal with once more in February. Warren has actually likewise shown his fervency for an urgent rematch, therefore anticipate it to take place.-- ParkinsonReal or otherwise: Ball will defend his WBA featherweight label versus RiosNick Ball, left behind, won the WBA featherweight headline by beating Raymond Ford in June. Richard Pelham/Getty ImagesReal. Reception has been hungry, sharp and also hectic symphonious approximately best amount over the in 2013, also in battles where he didn't have his hand elevated. The Liverpool-based 5-foot-2 boxer carries out certainly not seem to be to be worried about through a height disadvantage in world headline fights as well as was actually unfortunate to become refuted triumph in a crack draw against Rey Vargas, the WBC featherweight holder, in March. What was actually even more impressive was Round's crack decision sway Raymond Ford, who was recently undefeated, for the WBA waistband, back in June in Riyadh.Rios (34-4, 17 KOs), 34, has actually not been as energetic or even in the same form as Sphere, that are going to be full of fire for his 1st planet headline protection facing his home urban area enthusiasts. Round (20-0-1, 11 KOs), 27, should be careful, as Rios signed up an excellent fifth-round KO of Nicolas Polanco in April, but that was the Californian's very first day trip in nearly pair of years. Vargas likewise outpointed Rios in 2017, as well as Murodjon Akhmadaliev stopped Rios in the final round for the WBA and also IBF junior lightweight world headlines in June 2022. Round's power and also wish will definitely find him guard his WBA waistband along with a decision victory.-- Parkinson.
