Cris Esqueda/Golden Boy/Getty ImagesNot real. If anything, the legal action could possibly break the ice for a resolution that includes a bargain for a rematch. The profit spell in between Garcia and also Haney is merely extremely huge to pass up, for both the competitors and also the sport.There's the enormous dispute observing Garcia's favorable test as well as succeeding one-year ban. Haney asserts the PEDs resulted in Garcia's surprising efficiency, together with the fact Garcia was 3.2 extra pounds overweight. Both offenses are actually key to the lawsuit.Haney was actually as high as a 9-1 preferred however was actually knocked down three times in a distressed reduction that was eventually overturned to a no contest. The battle was exhilarating, and the 2nd bout stands to become a box office bonanza.After all of, the dominating thought moving right into the April competition was actually that Haney will control. Garcia's actions in the build-up of the match was actually therefore careless that there was valid are afraid of the struggle definitely would not happen at all.Now, with all the poor blood in between the competitors alongside Garcia's expanding celebrity power as well as his efficiency versus Haney (benefits nevertheless), there would be enormous rate of interest in a rematch. The claim only includes in the drama and also could be the very thing that assists link the problems to bring in the rematch take place.-- CoppingerReal or not: If Bivol reduces Beterbiev, he'll be actually the favorite to fight Alvarez in MayLight big-time champion Dmitry Bivol, left behind, defeated Canelo Alvarez by consensual choice in 2022. Etienne Laurent/EPA-EFEReal. Canelo told ESPN final month that he was actually targeting a rematch should Bivol succeed upcoming full week. And why not? Canelo was a significant preference versus his past 4 opponents and also has been largely criticized for his degree of competition.Against Bivol, Canelo would be a chosen underdog. Bivol transmitted Alvarez when they satisfied in May 2022, even with the narrow directories. Bivol is actually certainly not just larger but was able to utilize his footwork as well as elite boxing capability to baffle and reprimand Alvarez.Editor's Picks2 RelatedCanelo has preserved during that he is actually a much better fighter than Bivol which his operatively repaired hand will certainly help him show it in a rematch. This would certainly additionally be a heritage match. Canelo would have the opportunity to not merely become uncontested champ at a second body weight class, however additionally vindicate the second reduction of his occupation (the various other disappointment was against Floyd Mayweather in 2013). What stays to be found: Bivol's readiness to deal with Canelo once more. When the rematch was covered during the summer months of 2023, Bivol was steadfast that the bout must occur at 168 extra pounds for Canelo's unquestioned champion. Alvarez stated the fight required to occur at 175. Whatever weight they pick, this battle is without a doubt the most effective possibility for Canelo if he is actually not visiting encounter either David Benavidez or even Terence Crawford. But Bivol initially has an incredible problem to experience versus Beterbiev.-- CoppingerReal or otherwise: Mikhailovich will certainly dismiss AlimkhanulyJanibek Alimkhanuly, left, places his IBF middleweight world title vulnerable against Andrei Mikhailovich on Friday in Australia. Mikey Williams/Top RankReal: Mikhailovich, of New Zealand, is entering the ring in Australia along with a fierce feeling of task. He's an aggressive and fearless competitor that seems ready to release after traveling to the U.S. months ago to overcome, simply to discover that Alimkhanuly failed to create weight and the battle was actually postponed.Mikhailovich is actually a powerful puncher, as well as punchers are willing to take on to land their strikes, so I expect him to perform only that. In contrast, many of Alimkhanuly's previous challengers have gone into the band along with self-doubt, affected due to the buzz surrounding the champ. This moment Alimkhanuly discovers himself outside his convenience zone, experiencing a calculated, eager opposition. Although this is actually Mikhailovich's very first battle versus an outstanding enemy, the risks are actually higher and he possesses everything to get. The question is actually, can he stay clear of getting knocked senseless early? Or may he injure the champion early to gain respect?I think Mikhailovich's ruthless type can trouble Alimkhanuly's counterpunching type, especially due to the fact that Alimkhanuly has simply gone the total 12 arounds as soon as in his occupation. For Mikhailovich, making it through the very early arounds and taking the fight deep will certainly be vital. Alimkhanuly's capability to adapt and stand up to Mikhailovich's aggressiveness and also drilling power is going to be actually fun to check out.-- BradleyReal or otherwise: Joshua will definitely certainly not get the rematch along with Dubois nextDaniel Dubois, straight, tore down Anthony Joshua 4 times during his fifth-round KO victory to fight for the IBF abundant globe headline. Richard Pelham/Getty ImagesNot real. Joshua, punching's biggest income earner behind Canelo, has actually gone coming from closing in on a large, rewarding showdown with the victor of the Dec. 21 Usyk vs. Fierceness match, to overcoming to maintain his name appropriate at boxing's leading desk. To place themself back right into serious altercation for a megafight in 2025, Joshua needs to restore some reputation after final month's five-round KO loss to Dubois, as well as the only way he can do that is actually along with an instant rematch.Though his marketer, Matchroom, might not concur, Joshua won't mind taking the thin side of a deal that will definitely find him experience Dubois in a sequel, this time around in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, possibly on Feb. 22, because it delivers him the quickest option back. The victor of the Dubois vs. Joshua rematch would certainly progress to encounter the winner of Usyk vs. Rabidity 2 in summer 2025, potentially back at Greater london's Wembley Arena, the scene of Joshua's humiliating four presentations versus Dubois before a UK-record 96,000 fans two weeks ago. That match may be for all 4 major big-time world titles.Two-time champion Joshua (28-4, 25 KOs), who switches 35 this month, has already dismissed ideas from former pugilists like Barry McGuigan that he should resign, among uncertainties in order to whether he is shedding resistance to electrical power punches.Dubois (22-2, 21 KOs), 27, is actually likewise up for a rematch and also will certainly fancy his chances versus his trembled English competitor. As well as this time around he will be actually paid out more.It was a turbulent, entertaining and thrilling battle the first time around, which would swell pay-per-view purchases for a rematch. However considering that Dubois vs. Joshua 2 demands to happen in the winter and the U.K. merely has one stadium along with a roof covering (Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales, which possesses a capacity of 74,500), it would certainly be an unpleasant surprise to see this match land at a U.K. venue.Turki Alalshikh, the most powerful have a place in boxing who manages schedules that take place on Saudi Arabia-backed boxing events, will certainly be eager for such a sizable match-- among the biggest punching can easily offer following year-- taking place in Saudi Arabia.Matchroom promoter Eddie Hearn, that quick guides Joshua's job, states Joshua has actually actually conceded terms, while Frank Warren, Dubois' marketer, claims Dubois will definitely fight again in February. Warren has actually additionally shared his fervency for an instant rematch, so anticipate it to take place.-- ParkinsonReal or not: Sphere will certainly safeguard his WBA featherweight label versus RiosNick Sphere, left behind, gained the WBA featherweight title by beating Raymond Ford in June. Richard Pelham/Getty ImagesReal. Reception has actually been actually famished, alert and also hectic symphonious around elite degree over the in 2014, even in battles where he really did not possess his hand elevated. The Liverpool-based 5-foot-2 fighter carries out not seem to be worried about by an elevation drawback in planet title fights and was actually unfortunate to become rejected triumph in a split draw against Rey Vargas, the WBC featherweight holder, in March. What was extra remarkable was actually Sphere's crack choice get Raymond Ford, who was actually formerly undefeated, 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 teem with fire for his very first planet title defense in front of his home metropolitan area supporters. Sphere (20-0-1, 11 KOs), 27, need to make sure, as Rios enrolled an exceptional fifth-round KO of Nicolas Polanco in April, but that was the Californian's very first day trip in virtually 2 years. Vargas also outpointed Rios in 2017, and also Murodjon Akhmadaliev quit Rios in the final sphere for the WBA and IBF junior lightweight world labels in June 2022.
