Cris Esqueda/Golden Boy/Getty ImagesNot real. If just about anything, the suit can break the ice for a settlement that features a bargain for a rematch. The return stint in between Garcia and Haney is actually simply very big to miss, for both the competitors and the sport.There's the immense debate observing Garcia's favorable examination and also succeeding 1 year ban. Haney declares the PEDs caused Garcia's astonishing efficiency, alongside the fact Garcia was actually 3.2 pounds over weight. Both violations are actually key to the lawsuit.Haney was actually as high as a 9-1 beloved but was floored three times in a distressed reduction that was eventually overturned to a no contest. The battle was exhilarating, as well as the second fight stands to be a box office bonanza.After all of, the prevailing notion heading into the April match was actually that Haney will control. Garcia's habits in the accumulation of the fight was actually so reckless that there was reputable fear the struggle would not occur at all.Now, with all the poor blood in between the boxers in addition to Garcia's expanding celebrity power and also his functionality versus Haney (advantages in spite of), there would be huge passion in a rematch. The legal action just includes in the drama as well as might be the exact factor that aids unite the issues to make the rematch take place.-- CoppingerReal or not: If Bivol defeats Beterbiev, he'll be actually the preferred to combat Alvarez in MayLight heavyweight champ Dmitry Bivol, left, defeated Canelo Alvarez by consensual decision in 2022. Etienne Laurent/EPA-EFEReal. Canelo told ESPN final month that he was targeting a rematch should Bivol win upcoming full week. And also why not? Canelo was actually a significant favorite against his previous 4 challengers and also has actually been actually commonly slammed for his amount of competition.Against Bivol, Canelo would be actually a decided underdog. Bivol directed Alvarez when they satisfied in May 2022, even with the narrow scorecards. Bivol is actually certainly not only much bigger however had the ability to use his maneuvering and also best boxing capacity to befuddle as well as penalize Alvarez.Editor's Picks2 RelatedCanelo has actually preserved all along that he's a far better competitor than Bivol and that his surgically repaired hand is going to help him confirm it in a rematch. This would certainly also be a tradition battle. Canelo would possess the possibility to not simply come to be recognized champion at a 2nd body weight class, however additionally vindicate the second reduction of his profession (the various other loss protested Floyd Mayweather in 2013). What remains to be viewed: Bivol's willingness to battle Canelo once again. When the rematch was explained during the summer season of 2023, Bivol was actually unwavering that the bout needs to take place at 168 extra pounds for Canelo's uncontested championship. Alvarez claimed the fight needed to happen at 175. Whatever weight they settle on, this match is by far the greatest possibility for Canelo if he is actually not going to face either David Benavidez or even Terence Crawford. But Bivol to begin with possesses an enormous difficulty to encounter against Beterbiev.-- CoppingerReal or not: Mikhailovich will displace AlimkhanulyJanibek Alimkhanuly, left behind, places his IBF middleweight world label vulnerable against Andrei Mikhailovich on Friday in Australia. Mikey Williams/Top RankReal: Mikhailovich, of New Zealand, is actually entering the supplant Australia along with a fierce feeling of duty. He's an aggressive and also fearless fighter that seems to be ready to unleash after traveling to the U.S. months ago to fight, merely to find that Alimkhanuly fallen short to bring in body weight as well as the battle was actually postponed.Mikhailovich is a strong puncher, and punchers are willing to take on to land their strikes, so I expect him to accomplish just that. In contrast, most of Alimkhanuly's previous opponents have gotten in the band along with insecurity, influenced by the buzz surrounding the champ. This time around Alimkhanuly discovers himself outside his convenience area, encountering an identified, ready opposition. Although this is Mikhailovich's 1st fight against a world-class rival, the concerns are actually higher and also he has whatever to obtain. The inquiry is actually, can he prevent obtaining knocked senseless early? Or even can easily he harm the champion early to gain respect?I think Mikhailovich's ruthless design could possibly trouble Alimkhanuly's counterpunching type, especially since Alimkhanuly has actually only gone the comprehensive 12 spheres the moment in his job. For Mikhailovich, enduring the early spheres as well as taking the fight deep will be actually vital. Alimkhanuly's capability to adapt and withstand Mikhailovich's aggression and also drilling energy is going to be exciting to enjoy.-- BradleyReal or otherwise: Joshua will definitely not get the rematch along with Dubois nextDaniel Dubois, right, knocked down Anthony Joshua four opportunities during the course of his fifth-round KO triumph to defend the IBF abundant world headline.

Joshua, punching's largest wage earner responsible for Canelo, has actually gone coming from closing in on a huge, lucrative showdown with the champion of the Dec. 21 Usyk vs. Rage fight, to fighting to keep his label appropriate at punching's best desk. To place himself back right into severe altercation for a megafight in 2025, Joshua needs to reclaim some credibility after last month's five-round KO loss to Dubois, and the only technique he can do that is actually with a quick rematch.Though his promoter, Matchroom, could not concur, Joshua won't mind taking the thin side of an offer that will definitely find him experience Dubois in a follow up, this time around in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, likely on Feb. 22, because it uses him the quickest option back. The champion of the Dubois vs. Joshua rematch will progress to experience the winner of Usyk vs. Rabidity 2 in summertime 2025, possibly back at Greater london's Wembley Arena, the scene of Joshua's embarrassing four knockdowns against Dubois facing a UK-record 96,000 fans two weeks ago. That fight could be for all 4 major big-time planet titles.Two-time champion Joshua (28-4, 25 KOs), who turns 35 this month, has already dismissed ideas coming from previous fighters including Barry McGuigan that he must resign, among hesitations concerning whether he is losing resistance to energy punches.Dubois (22-2, 21 KOs), 27, is actually likewise up for a rematch and will certainly elegant his possibilities versus his drunk English competitor. And also this moment he will be actually paid for more.It was a chaotic, engaging as well as exhilarating match the very first time around, which would certainly swell pay-per-view sales for a rematch. However given that Dubois vs. Joshua 2 needs to happen in the winter season and the U.K. merely possesses one stadium with a roof (Principality Coliseum in Cardiff, Wales, which possesses a capability of 74,500), it would certainly be a surprise to see this fight property at a U.K. venue.Turki Alalshikh, the most effective have a place in boxing that manages lineups that happen on Saudi Arabia-backed punching activities, will certainly be keen for such a sizable battle-- among the largest boxing can use next year-- taking place in Saudi Arabia.Matchroom promoter Eddie Hearn, who quick guides Joshua's occupation, says Joshua has already acknowledged conditions, while Frank Warren, Dubois' promoter, claims Dubois will certainly deal with once more in February.

Richard Pelham/Getty ImagesReal. Reception has been actually famished, alert and also hectic symphonious approximately best degree over the in 2015, also in battles where he really did not have his hand raised. The Liverpool-based 5-foot-2 pugilist does not appear to be worried about through a height drawback in world title battles and was actually unlucky to become refuted triumph in a crack draw versus Rey Vargas, the WBC featherweight holder, in March. What was more excellent was actually Sphere's crack selection draw Raymond Ford, that was actually earlier undefeated, for the WBA waistband, back in June in Riyadh.Rios (34-4, 17 KOs), 34, has actually certainly not been as active or in the exact same kind as Sphere, who are going to have lots of fire for his initial globe label defense before his home area supporters. Ball (20-0-1, 11 KOs), 27, should be careful, as Rios registered an exceptional fifth-round KO of Nicolas Polanco in April, however that was actually the Californian's very first outing in virtually 2 years. Vargas also outpointed Rios in 2017, and Murodjon Akhmadaliev stopped Rios in the final sphere for the WBA and also IBF junior light globe labels in June 2022.
