Cris Esqueda/Golden Boy/Getty ImagesNot real. If anything, the suit could possibly lead the way for a negotiation that includes an offer for a rematch. The profit spell in between Garcia and Haney is simply very huge to pass up, for both the fighters and the sport.There's the tremendous controversy complying with Garcia's positive exam as well as subsequential one-year restriction. Haney asserts the PEDs caused Garcia's astonishing performance, in addition to the simple fact Garcia was 3.2 extra pounds obese. Each violations are vital to the lawsuit.Haney was actually as high as a 9-1 favorite however was knocked down 3 attend an upset loss that was actually later reversed to a no contest. The match was actually exhilarating, and the second match stands up to become a ticket office bonanza.After all, the prevailing idea moving into the April competition was actually that Haney would dominate. Garcia's habits in the buildup of the fight was thus negligent that there was legitimate fear the struggle wouldn't happen at all.Now, with all the negative blood stream in between the fighters in addition to Garcia's developing star electrical power and also his efficiency versus Haney (perks nevertheless), there would be enormous interest in a rematch. The claim only includes in the dramatization and may be the actual thing that aids bridge the concerns to bring in the rematch occur.-- CoppingerReal or otherwise: If Bivol defeats Beterbiev, he'll be actually the beloved to fight Alvarez in MayLight heavyweight champ Dmitry Bivol, left behind, defeated Canelo Alvarez through consensual decision in 2022. Etienne Laurent/EPA-EFEReal. Canelo told ESPN last month that he was targeting a rematch must Bivol succeed following full week. As well as why certainly not? Canelo was actually a primary favorite versus his past 4 rivals and also has been widely slammed for his level of competition.Against Bivol, Canelo would certainly be a made a decision underdog. Bivol transmitted Alvarez when they fulfilled in May 2022, despite the narrow scorecards. Bivol is certainly not simply greater but was able to use his maneuvering and best boxing capability to baffle and also punish Alvarez.Editor's Picks2 RelatedCanelo has actually preserved the whole time that he is actually a much better competitor than Bivol and also his surgically repaired palm is going to assist him verify it in a rematch. This would likewise be actually a legacy fight. Canelo would certainly have the chance to certainly not just end up being recognized champ at a second body weight class, however likewise retaliate the second loss of his career (the other loss protested Floyd Mayweather in 2013). What stays to be seen: Bivol's willingness to fight Canelo once again. When the rematch was actually talked about during the summer of 2023, Bivol was actually enduring that the battle has to take place at 168 pounds for Canelo's unquestioned champion. Alvarez pointed out the match needed to have to take place at 175. Whatever body weight they decide on, this match is easily the best possibility for Canelo if he's certainly not going to encounter either David Benavidez or Terence Crawford. However Bivol to begin with has an incredible obstacle to deal with against Beterbiev.-- CoppingerReal or not: Mikhailovich will depose AlimkhanulyJanibek Alimkhanuly, left, puts his IBF middleweight planet headline on the line versus Andrei Mikhailovich on Friday in Australia. Mikey Williams/Top RankReal: Mikhailovich, of New Zealand, is stepping into the supplant Australia along with a brutal sense of obligation. He's an aggressive as well as courageous competitor who seems to be ready to unleash after journeying to the U.S. months ago to overcome, merely to uncover that Alimkhanuly failed to bring in weight as well as the battle was postponed.Mikhailovich is actually an effective puncher, as well as punchers want to engage to land their strikes, so I anticipate him to accomplish only that. In contrast, many of Alimkhanuly's previous challengers have entered the ring along with self-doubt, determined due to the hype encompassing the champion. This time around Alimkhanuly locates themself outside his comfort zone, facing a found out, ready challenger. Although this is Mikhailovich's first match versus a first-rate challenger, the stakes are actually higher and also he has every little thing to acquire. The inquiry is, can he stay away from acquiring knocked out early? Or even may he harm the champion early to obtain respect?I assume Mikhailovich's relentless style might impose on Alimkhanuly's counterpunching type, specifically because Alimkhanuly has actually merely gone the comprehensive 12 rounds the moment in his career. For Mikhailovich, surviving the very early rounds as well as taking the fight deep will definitely be essential. Alimkhanuly's capability to conform as well as stand up to Mikhailovich's aggression and punching electrical power will definitely be fun to check out.-- BradleyReal or otherwise: Joshua will certainly certainly not get the rematch along with Dubois nextDaniel Dubois, right, tore down Anthony Joshua four times during his fifth-round KO victory to defend the IBF heavyweight globe headline. Richard Pelham/Getty ImagesNot real. Joshua, punching's biggest wage earner behind Canelo, has gone coming from closing with it a substantial, lucrative face-off along with the champion of the Dec. 21 Usyk vs. Frenzy battle, to combating to keep his label applicable at punching's best table. To put himself back right into major combat for a megafight in 2025, Joshua needs to have to recover some reputation after last month's five-round KO defeat to Dubois, and also the only means he can possibly do that is along with an instant rematch.Though his marketer, Matchroom, could not concede, Joshua will not mind taking the slim edge of a bargain that will definitely observe him deal with Dubois in a follow up, this moment in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, possibly on Feb. 22, due to the fact that it offers him the quickest path back. The champion of the Dubois vs. Joshua rematch would advance to face the winner of Usyk vs. Rabidity 2 in summer season 2025, perhaps back at London's Wembley Arena, the scene of Joshua's humiliating four presentations versus Dubois before a UK-record 96,000 followers 2 full weeks ago. That battle can be for all four significant big-time globe titles.Two-time champ Joshua (28-4, 25 KOs), who turns 35 this month, has actually currently put away tips from previous boxers including Barry McGuigan that he need to resign, among questions as to whether he is actually dropping resistance to electrical power punches.Dubois (22-2, 21 KOs), 27, is actually additionally up for a rematch and is going to fancy his opportunities versus his trembled English competitor. And also this time he will be spent more.It was actually a chaotic, entertaining as well as thrilling match the very first time around, which would swell pay-per-view purchases for a rematch. However considering that Dubois vs. Joshua 2 needs to occur in the winter months and also the U.K. just has one arena along with a roofing system (Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales, which possesses a capability of 74,500), it would be a shock to find this match land at a U.K. venue.Turki Alalshikh, the absolute most highly effective have a place in boxing that regulates schedules that occur on Saudi Arabia-backed boxing occasions, will certainly be eager for such a big battle-- one of the greatest punching can easily use upcoming year-- taking place in Saudi Arabia.Matchroom marketer Eddie Hearn, that resources Joshua's profession, claims Joshua has actually conceded phrases, while Frank Warren, Dubois' marketer, states Dubois will certainly fight once again in February. Warren has likewise shared his gusto for a prompt rematch, therefore anticipate it to take place.-- ParkinsonReal or otherwise: Round will certainly defend his WBA featherweight label versus RiosNick Ball, left, succeeded the WBA featherweight title by defeating Raymond Ford in June. Richard Pelham/Getty ImagesReal. Reception has actually been actually hungry, alert and active in stepping approximately best degree over the in 2013, even in matches where he really did not have his hand raised. The Liverpool-based 5-foot-2 pugilist carries out not appear to become troubled through a height drawback in planet headline matches as well as was actually unlucky to become rejected success in a crack draw against Rey Vargas, the WBC featherweight titleholder, in March. What was actually extra excellent was actually Ball's split decision get Raymond Ford, that was earlier unbeaten, for the WBA belt, back in June in Riyadh.Rios (34-4, 17 KOs), 34, has not been actually as active or even in the very same kind as Ball, that will definitely have plenty of fire for his very first planet title self defense in front of his home city enthusiasts. Ball (20-0-1, 11 KOs), 27, should make sure, as Rios signed up an impressive fifth-round KO of Nicolas Polanco in April, however that was the Californian's first outing in practically two years. Vargas likewise outpointed Rios in 2017, as well as Murodjon Akhmadaliev stopped Rios in the final sphere for the WBA as well as IBF junior lightweight planet labels in June 2022.
