Cris Esqueda/Golden Boy/Getty ImagesNot real. If anything, the case can pave the way for a resolution that features a deal for a rematch. The profit round in between Garcia and also Haney is actually simply too large to pass up, for both the competitors and the sport.There's the enormous debate following Garcia's good examination and also subsequent 1 year ban. Haney professes the PEDs triggered Garcia's stunning functionality, together with the fact Garcia was 3.2 pounds overweight. Both violations are actually key to the lawsuit.Haney was actually as much as a 9-1 beloved but was knocked down three times in a distressed loss that was actually later on overturned to a no contest. The fight was thrilling, as well as the 2nd struggle stands to be a ticket office bonanza.After all, the prevailing thought heading right into the April match was that Haney would certainly control. Garcia's actions in the build-up of the fight was actually therefore reckless that there was actually legit are afraid of the struggle definitely would not happen at all.Now, with all the bad blood stream in between the fighters together with Garcia's developing celebrity energy and his efficiency against Haney (benefits nevertheless), there would certainly be actually immense passion in a rematch. The claim just contributes to the dramatization and could be the actual point that aids link the concerns to make the rematch occur.-- CoppingerReal or not: If Bivol defeats Beterbiev, he'll be the preferred to fight Alvarez in MayLight big-time champ Dmitry Bivol, left, reduced Canelo Alvarez through consensual selection in 2022. Etienne Laurent/EPA-EFEReal. Canelo informed ESPN final month that he was actually targeting a rematch should Bivol gain following full week. And why not? Canelo was actually a major fave against his previous four opponents as well as has been actually commonly criticized for his level of competition.Against Bivol, Canelo will be a determined longshot. Bivol routed Alvarez when they satisfied in May 2022, even with the narrow scorecards. Bivol is not simply larger yet had the capacity to utilize his maneuvering and best punching potential to befuddle as well as penalize Alvarez.Editor's Picks2 RelatedCanelo has actually maintained all along that he is actually a much better fighter than Bivol and also his surgically fixed hand is going to help him confirm it in a rematch. This would certainly additionally be actually a legacy match. Canelo would certainly possess the odds to not merely become unquestioned champion at a second body weight course, but also retaliate the second loss of his occupation (the various other loss protested Floyd Mayweather in 2013). What stays to become found: Bivol's willingness to deal with Canelo again. When the rematch was actually gone over during the course of the summer of 2023, Bivol was actually resolute that the battle has to occur at 168 extra pounds for Canelo's undeniable championship. Alvarez said the match required to take place at 175. Whatever body weight they settle on, this battle is easily the very best alternative for Canelo if he's certainly not going to encounter either David Benavidez or even Terence Crawford. But Bivol initially possesses an incredible challenge to deal with against Beterbiev.-- CoppingerReal or not: Mikhailovich will displace AlimkhanulyJanibek Alimkhanuly, left, puts his IBF middleweight globe label vulnerable against Andrei Mikhailovich on Friday in Australia. Mikey Williams/Top RankReal: Mikhailovich, of New Zealand, is actually entering the ring in Australia with a fierce sense of task. He is actually an aggressive as well as fearless fighter who appears ready to release after journeying to the U.S. months ago to eliminate, simply to uncover that Alimkhanuly stopped working to make body weight and the match was postponed.Mikhailovich is actually an effective puncher, and also punchers want to take on to land their strikes, so I expect him to carry out only that. In contrast, much of Alimkhanuly's previous challengers have actually gone into the band along with insecurity, influenced due to the buzz neighboring the champion. This time around Alimkhanuly locates himself outside his convenience zone, encountering a figured out, prepared opposition. Although this is Mikhailovich's initial match versus an outstanding opponent, the stakes are actually high and also he has whatever to get. The concern is, can he prevent receiving knocked senseless early? Or even can he harm the champion early to acquire respect?I think Mikhailovich's ruthless style might impose on Alimkhanuly's counterpunching style, especially because Alimkhanuly has just gone the full 12 rounds when in his profession. For Mikhailovich, surviving the very early rounds as well as taking the fight deep will be actually key. Alimkhanuly's potential to adjust and resist Mikhailovich's hostility and also drilling power is going to be actually enjoyable to check out.-- BradleyReal or otherwise: Joshua will not take the rematch along with Dubois nextDaniel Dubois, right, brought down Anthony Joshua four opportunities during the course of his fifth-round KO triumph to fight for the IBF abundant globe headline. Richard Pelham/Getty ImagesNot real. Joshua, punching's most significant income earner behind Canelo, has gone from closing know a substantial, profitable face-off with the champion of the Dec. 21 Usyk vs. Fury fight, to overcoming to keep his label appropriate at boxing's leading desk. To place themself back into major combat for a megafight in 2025, Joshua needs to regain some integrity after final month's five-round KO loss to Dubois, and also the only method he can do that is actually along with an urgent rematch.Though his promoter, Matchroom, might not acknowledge, Joshua won't mind taking the thin side of a deal that will definitely observe him encounter Dubois in a follow up, this time in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, potentially on Feb. 22, because it delivers him the quickest option back. The champion of the Dubois vs. Joshua rematch would certainly advance to face the victor of Usyk vs. Rabidity 2 in summer 2025, possibly back at London's Wembley Arena, the performance of Joshua's humiliating 4 presentations against Dubois facing a UK-record 96,000 fans pair of weeks earlier. That battle might be for all 4 primary big-time globe titles.Two-time champion Joshua (28-4, 25 KOs), who turns 35 this month, has already dismissed tips from previous pugilists including Barry McGuigan that he must resign, surrounded by hesitations as to whether he is actually losing protection to electrical power punches.Dubois (22-2, 21 KOs), 27, is actually additionally up for a rematch and also will definitely lavish his chances versus his drunk English opponent. And also this time around he would be actually paid for more.It was actually a disorderly, enjoyable and also electrifying match the very first time around, which would swell pay-per-view purchases for a rematch. However given that Dubois vs. Joshua 2 needs to occur in the winter months and also the U.K. only has one stadium with a roofing (Principality Arena in Cardiff, Wales, which possesses a capacity of 74,500), it would certainly be an unpleasant surprise to view this match land at a U.K. venue.Turki Alalshikh, one of the most strong figure in boxing that controls lineups that take place on Saudi Arabia-backed boxing events, will certainly be actually eager for such a huge fight-- among the greatest boxing may give following year-- taking place in Saudi Arabia.Matchroom promoter Eddie Hearn, that guides Joshua's job, states Joshua has presently acknowledged conditions, while Frank Warren, Dubois' promoter, points out Dubois will definitely fight again in February. Warren has likewise shared his gusto for a prompt rematch, therefore anticipate it to take place.-- ParkinsonReal or not: Sphere is going to defend his WBA featherweight headline versus RiosNick Ball, left behind, won the WBA featherweight label through defeating Raymond Ford in June. Richard Pelham/Getty ImagesReal. Ball has been famished, sharp and also busy symphonious up to best degree over the in 2014, even in matches where he really did not possess his hand raised. The Liverpool-based 5-foot-2 boxer performs not seem to be bothered through a height disadvantage in planet title matches and also was actually unfavorable to become refuted success in a split draw against Rey Vargas, the WBC featherweight holder, in March. What was more remarkable was Ball's crack decision sway Raymond Ford, that was actually previously unbeaten, for the WBA waistband, back in June in Riyadh.Rios (34-4, 17 KOs), 34, has certainly not been actually as energetic or even in the exact same form as Ball, who are going to be full of fire for his 1st planet title protection before his home metropolitan area followers. Sphere (20-0-1, 11 KOs), 27, have to make sure, as Rios signed up an impressive fifth-round KO of Nicolas Polanco in April, but that was actually the Californian's initial outing in practically 2 years. Vargas likewise outpointed Rios in 2017, and also Murodjon Akhmadaliev ceased Rios in the final sphere for the WBA and IBF junior lightweight planet headlines in June 2022. Round's power and also wish are going to find him protect his WBA belt with a decision victory.-- Parkinson.
