Cris Esqueda/Golden Boy/Getty ImagesNot real. If anything, the case could possibly lead the way for a resolution that features a deal for a rematch. The return spell between Garcia as well as Haney is simply too big to refuse, for both the boxers and the sport.There's the tremendous dispute following Garcia's positive examination and also subsequent one-year ban. Haney professes the PEDs resulted in Garcia's astonishing performance, together with the fact Garcia was actually 3.2 extra pounds overweight. Each transgressions are actually essential to the lawsuit.Haney was as high as a 9-1 preferred but was defeated 3 attend an upset loss that was later reversed to a no contest. The fight was actually electrifying, and also the second match stands up to be a ticket office bonanza.After all, the prevailing thought and feelings moving into the April matchup was actually that Haney will control. Garcia's habits in the build-up of the fight was actually therefore reckless that there was legitimate are afraid the fight would not occur at all.Now, with all the negative blood in between the competitors in addition to Garcia's developing celebrity energy as well as his efficiency versus Haney (conveniences in spite of), there will be astounding rate of interest in a rematch. The suit only adds to the drama as well as can be the exact trait that helps connect the issues to create the rematch happen.-- CoppingerReal or otherwise: If Bivol defeats Beterbiev, he'll be actually the favored to fight Alvarez in MayLight big-time champ Dmitry Bivol, left, defeated Canelo Alvarez by unanimous selection in 2022. Etienne Laurent/EPA-EFEReal. Canelo said to ESPN final month that he was targeting a rematch must Bivol gain next full week. And why certainly not? Canelo was actually a primary favorite against his past 4 challengers as well as has been largely slammed for his amount of competition.Against Bivol, Canelo would be actually a determined longshot. Bivol directed Alvarez when they met in May 2022, regardless of the slender directories. Bivol is certainly not just larger but had the ability to utilize his footwork and elite boxing capability to baffle and penalize Alvarez.Editor's Picks2 RelatedCanelo has actually sustained all along that he's a far better competitor than Bivol and also his operatively mended palm will certainly help him verify it in a rematch. This would certainly likewise be a legacy battle. Canelo will have the chance to certainly not just become uncontested champion at a 2nd body weight course, but also avenge the 2nd loss of his occupation (the other loss was against Floyd Mayweather in 2013). What continues to be to be seen: Bivol's desire to combat Canelo once again. When the rematch was actually discussed during the summer season of 2023, Bivol was enduring that the match should take place at 168 extra pounds for Canelo's undisputed champion. Alvarez stated the match needed to occur at 175. Whatever weight they decide on, this fight is actually by far the greatest option for Canelo if he's certainly not visiting deal with either David Benavidez or even Terence Crawford. However Bivol initially possesses a tremendous difficulty to deal with against Beterbiev.-- CoppingerReal or not: Mikhailovich is going to dethrone AlimkhanulyJanibek Alimkhanuly, left, puts his IBF middleweight planet headline vulnerable versus Andrei Mikhailovich on Friday in Australia. Mikey Williams/Top RankReal: Mikhailovich, of New Zealand, is actually stepping into the supplant Australia along with a tough sense of duty. He's a threatening as well as fearless competitor that seems to be prepared to release after traveling to the USA months ago to eliminate, just to uncover that Alimkhanuly fallen short to create body weight as well as the battle was postponed.Mikhailovich is actually an effective puncher, and also punchers are willing to engage to land their strikes, so I anticipate him to perform just that. On the other hand, a number of Alimkhanuly's previous opponents have actually entered the band with insecurity, affected due to the hype neighboring the champ. This time Alimkhanuly discovers themself outside his convenience area, dealing with a calculated, eager opposition. Although this is Mikhailovich's first battle versus a first-rate enemy, the concerns are actually higher as well as he has every little thing to acquire. The inquiry is actually, can he stay away from getting knocked senseless early? Or even can easily he harm the champion early to get respect?I presume Mikhailovich's ruthless design can trouble Alimkhanuly's counterpunching style, particularly since Alimkhanuly has merely gone the comprehensive 12 rounds the moment in his career. For Mikhailovich, making it through the very early spheres and also taking the battle deep is going to be actually key. Alimkhanuly's potential to adjust as well as tolerate Mikhailovich's aggressiveness and drilling energy will be actually enjoyable to view.-- BradleyReal or otherwise: Joshua is going to certainly not get the rematch with Dubois nextDaniel Dubois, right, knocked down Anthony Joshua 4 opportunities throughout his fifth-round KO victory to safeguard the IBF abundant globe headline.

Joshua, boxing's biggest income earner responsible for Canelo, has gone coming from closing know a huge, beneficial face-off with the winner of the Dec. 21 Usyk vs. Rabidity fight, to combating to keep his title appropriate at boxing's top table. To put themself back into significant hostility for a megafight in 2025, Joshua requires to restore some reliability after last month's five-round KO loss to Dubois, and also the only way he can possibly do that is actually with a prompt rematch.Though his marketer, Matchroom, could not concede, Joshua will not mind taking the slim edge of an offer that are going to find him deal with Dubois in a sequel, this moment in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, potentially on Feb. 22, given that it offers him the quickest option back. The winner of the Dubois vs. Joshua rematch would progress to experience the winner of Usyk vs. Violence 2 in summer season 2025, probably back at Greater london's Wembley Arena, the performance of Joshua's humiliating 4 knockdowns versus Dubois facing a UK-record 96,000 supporters pair of weeks back. That fight might be for all four significant big-time globe titles.Two-time champion Joshua (28-4, 25 KOs), that switches 35 this month, has actually put away tips from former fighters including Barry McGuigan that he ought to resign, surrounded by uncertainties in order to whether he is actually dropping protection to electrical power punches.Dubois (22-2, 21 KOs), 27, is likewise up for a rematch and will elaborate his chances against his shaken English competitor. As well as this time around he would certainly be actually paid more.It was a disorderly, enjoyable and awesome match the first time around, which would swell pay-per-view purchases for a rematch. But given that Dubois vs. Joshua 2 needs to happen in the winter and also the U.K. only has one stadium along with a roofing (Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales, which has a capacity of 74,500), it would certainly be a surprise to see this fight land at a U.K. venue.Turki Alalshikh, one of the most strong figure in boxing who manages schedules that happen on Saudi Arabia-backed boxing celebrations, will certainly be eager for such a big match-- some of the most significant punching may provide next year-- occurring in Saudi Arabia.Matchroom marketer Eddie Hearn, who guides Joshua's profession, claims Joshua has actually actually acknowledged conditions, while Frank Warren, Dubois' promoter, points out Dubois will definitely deal with once more in February. Warren has additionally revealed his fervency for a quick rematch, thus anticipate it to happen.-- ParkinsonReal or not: Round will definitely guard his WBA featherweight title against RiosNick Sphere, left, won the WBA featherweight headline through beating Raymond Ford in June. Richard Pelham/Getty ImagesReal. Reception has actually been actually starving, alert as well as occupied symphonious approximately best level over the in 2014, even in matches where he didn't have his hand elevated. The Liverpool-based 5-foot-2 boxer carries out not appear to become worried about through a height downside in world headline battles and also was regrettable to be refused triumph in a crack draw against Rey Vargas, the WBC featherweight holder, in March. What was actually extra impressive was Ball's crack choice sway Raymond Ford, who was actually earlier undefeated, for the WBA waistband, back in June in Riyadh.Rios (34-4, 17 KOs), 34, has certainly not been actually as energetic or in the exact same kind as Round, that will definitely teem with fire for his 1st globe label self defense facing his home area followers. Ball (20-0-1, 11 KOs), 27, have to make sure, as Rios registered an exceptional fifth-round KO of Nicolas Polanco in April, but that was the Californian's initial day trip in virtually pair of years. Vargas also outpointed Rios in 2017, and also Murodjon Akhmadaliev quit Rios in the final around for the WBA and also IBF junior lightweight world headlines in June 2022. Ball's energy and wish are going to find him defend his WBA waistband with a selection success.-- Parkinson.
