Cris Esqueda/Golden Boy/Getty ImagesNot real. If anything, the case could possibly pave the way for a settlement that includes a package for a rematch. The gain spell between Garcia and also Haney is simply extremely big to refuse, for both the boxers as well as the sport.There's the immense debate observing Garcia's good exam and also subsequent one-year ban. Haney declares the PEDs resulted in Garcia's surprising performance, together with the truth Garcia was actually 3.2 pounds obese. Each violations are actually essential to the lawsuit.Haney was as long as a 9-1 beloved yet was actually knocked down three times in a dismayed reduction that was actually eventually reversed to a no contest. The fight was electrifying, and also the 2nd battle stands up to be a ticket office bonanza.After all, the dominating thought heading in to the April matchup was that Haney will control. Garcia's habits in the accumulation of the match was therefore negligent that there was actually genuine dread the battle wouldn't happen at all.Now, with all the negative blood stream in between the competitors in addition to Garcia's expanding celebrity energy and also his performance versus Haney (benefits notwithstanding), there would certainly be actually immense enthusiasm in a rematch. The case just includes in the dramatization and can be the very trait that helps unite the concerns to make the rematch occur.-- CoppingerReal or otherwise: If Bivol reduces Beterbiev, he'll be actually the beloved to overcome Alvarez in MayLight heavyweight champion Dmitry Bivol, left, defeated Canelo Alvarez through consensual selection in 2022. Etienne Laurent/EPA-EFEReal. Canelo informed ESPN final month that he was actually targeting a rematch ought to Bivol win upcoming full week. And also why certainly not? Canelo was a significant favorite against his past 4 challengers and has been extensively criticized for his amount of competition.Against Bivol, Canelo would be actually a made a decision longshot. Bivol directed Alvarez when they met in May 2022, regardless of the slim scorecards. Bivol is certainly not simply larger however was able to use his maneuvering as well as elite punching capacity to befuddle and punish Alvarez.Editor's Picks2 RelatedCanelo has maintained during that he is actually a far better boxer than Bivol and that his operatively fixed hand will definitely aid him verify it in a rematch. This would also be a legacy match. Canelo will possess the chance to not merely become unquestioned champ at a second weight training class, but additionally retaliate the second loss of his profession (the other defeat protested Floyd Mayweather in 2013). What stays to be found: Bivol's desire to deal with Canelo once more. When the rematch was explained during the summertime of 2023, Bivol was enduring that the battle needs to happen at 168 pounds for Canelo's uncontested championship. Alvarez pointed out the battle required to occur at 175. Whatever weight they pick, this battle is easily the greatest choice for Canelo if he's not visiting face either David Benavidez or Terence Crawford. But Bivol initially possesses a remarkable difficulty to encounter versus Beterbiev.-- CoppingerReal or otherwise: Mikhailovich will certainly degrade AlimkhanulyJanibek Alimkhanuly, left behind, places his IBF middleweight world title on the line versus Andrei Mikhailovich on Friday in Australia. Mikey Williams/Top RankReal: Mikhailovich, of New Zealand, is entering the supplant Australia with a fierce sense of duty. He's a hostile as well as courageous fighter who seems to be prepared to release after taking a trip to the U.S. months ago to fight, just to discover that Alimkhanuly failed to bring in weight as well as the fight was actually postponed.Mikhailovich is a highly effective puncher, as well as punchers want to take on to land their strikes, so I anticipate him to do only that. In contrast, a lot of Alimkhanuly's previous challengers have actually gotten in the band with self-doubt, affected due to the hype surrounding the champion. This moment Alimkhanuly finds himself outside his convenience region, dealing with an established, ready challenger. Although this is actually Mikhailovich's very first battle against an unparalleled challenger, the concerns are actually higher and he possesses every little thing to obtain. The inquiry is actually, can he steer clear of obtaining knocked out early? Or even can easily he hurt the champion early to acquire respect?I presume Mikhailovich's relentless design could impose on Alimkhanuly's counterpunching style, specifically due to the fact that Alimkhanuly has merely gone the full 12 spheres as soon as in his career. For Mikhailovich, enduring the very early arounds as well as taking the battle deep will definitely be vital. Alimkhanuly's capacity to adjust and endure Mikhailovich's aggressiveness and also drilling electrical power is going to 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 throughout his fifth-round KO triumph to defend the IBF abundant globe title. Richard Pelham/Getty ImagesNot real. Joshua, punching's most significant wage earner behind Canelo, has gone coming from closing with it a significant, financially rewarding face-off along with the winner of the Dec. 21 Usyk vs. Rage match, to fighting to maintain his label applicable at punching's best table. To put themself back right into serious altercation for a megafight in 2025, Joshua needs to have to regain some reputation after last month's five-round KO loss to Dubois, and the only way he can possibly do that is actually with an urgent rematch.Though his promoter, Matchroom, could not agree, Joshua will not mind taking the slim edge of a bargain that will definitely see him deal with Dubois in a part two, this time around in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, potentially on Feb. 22, given that it delivers him the quickest path back. The victor of the Dubois vs. Joshua rematch would advance to experience the victor of Usyk vs. Rage 2 in summertime 2025, potentially back at London's Wembley Coliseum, the performance of Joshua's humiliating 4 presentations against Dubois facing a UK-record 96,000 followers two full weeks ago. That battle may be for all four primary big-time world titles.Two-time champion Joshua (28-4, 25 KOs), who switches 35 this month, has presently put away pointers from previous fighters like Barry McGuigan that he need to resign, amid questions regarding whether he is losing resistance to energy punches.Dubois (22-2, 21 KOs), 27, is actually also up for a rematch as well as is going to elaborate his odds versus his trembled English opponent. As well as this time around he would be actually paid for more.It was actually a disorderly, amusing and also electrifying fight the very first time around, which will swell pay-per-view purchases for a rematch. Yet because Dubois vs. Joshua 2 requirements to happen in the winter season as well as the U.K. merely possesses one stadium with a rooftop (Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales, which possesses a capability of 74,500), it will be an unpleasant surprise to observe this fight land at a U.K. venue.Turki Alalshikh, the absolute most highly effective have a place in punching that controls schedules that happen on Saudi Arabia-backed boxing events, will be eager for such a large battle-- one of the biggest punching may deliver upcoming year-- happening in Saudi Arabia.Matchroom promoter Eddie Hearn, that resources Joshua's career, says Joshua has actually already concurred phrases, while Frank Warren, Dubois' promoter, states Dubois will certainly deal with once more in February. Warren has also shown his gusto for a prompt rematch, thus expect it to take place.-- ParkinsonReal or otherwise: Ball will definitely defend his WBA featherweight headline against RiosNick Sphere, left behind, gained the WBA featherweight title by beating Raymond Ford in June. Richard Pelham/Getty ImagesReal. Ball has actually been actually starving, alert as well as hectic in stepping up to best amount over the in 2013, even in battles where he failed to possess his palm increased. The Liverpool-based 5-foot-2 boxer carries out not seem to become bothered by an elevation negative aspect in globe headline battles and was unfavorable to be refuted success in a split draw versus Rey Vargas, the WBC featherweight titleholder, in March. What was actually more remarkable was Round's split choice get Raymond Ford, that was earlier unbeaten, for the WBA waistband, back in June in Riyadh.Rios (34-4, 17 KOs), 34, has actually not been actually as active or in the same form as Round, who will definitely have lots of fire for his initial globe headline self defense facing his home area fans. Round (20-0-1, 11 KOs), 27, need to make sure, as Rios enrolled an outstanding fifth-round KO of Nicolas Polanco in April, but that was actually the Californian's 1st getaway in nearly 2 years. Vargas additionally outpointed Rios in 2017, and also Murodjon Akhmadaliev quit Rios in the last around for the WBA and IBF junior featherweight planet labels in June 2022. Sphere's electricity as well as desire will certainly see him defend his WBA belt along with a choice success.-- Parkinson.
