Cris Esqueda/Golden Boy/Getty ImagesNot real. If everything, the legal action could possibly break the ice for a negotiation that features a bargain for a rematch. The profit spell in between Garcia and Haney is actually merely too large to pass up, for both the boxers as well as the sport.There's the astounding conflict adhering to Garcia's favorable exam and also succeeding 1 year ban. Haney professes the PEDs triggered Garcia's astonishing efficiency, together with the simple fact Garcia was actually 3.2 extra pounds overweight. Both transgressions are vital to the lawsuit.Haney was as long as a 9-1 beloved yet was floored 3 attend a dismayed reduction that was actually later on reversed to a no competition. The match was actually awesome, and also the second battle stands to become a box office bonanza.After all, the prevailing thought and feelings heading into the April matchup was that Haney will control. Garcia's actions in the build-up of the fight was actually therefore careless that there was genuine worry the bout definitely would not take place at all.Now, with all the poor blood in between the competitors in addition to Garcia's growing superstar energy as well as his performance against Haney (conveniences regardless of), there would certainly be tremendous passion in a rematch. The claim just includes in the dramatization and can be the actual factor that helps unite the issues to create the rematch take place.-- CoppingerReal or otherwise: If Bivol reduces Beterbiev, he'll be the beloved to combat Alvarez in MayLight big-time champion Dmitry Bivol, left, defeated Canelo Alvarez through consensual selection in 2022. Etienne Laurent/EPA-EFEReal. Canelo told ESPN last month that he was targeting a rematch needs to Bivol succeed upcoming full week. As well as why certainly not? Canelo was a major preference against his previous 4 rivals as well as has been commonly slammed for his degree of competition.Against Bivol, Canelo would be a decided underdog. Bivol transmitted Alvarez when they met in May 2022, even with the narrow scorecards. Bivol is certainly not just much bigger but had the capacity to utilize his footwork and also elite punching potential to bewilder as well as punish Alvarez.Editor's Picks2 RelatedCanelo has maintained during that he's a much better competitor than Bivol and that his surgically restored hand is going to aid him show it in a rematch. This would likewise be a tradition battle. Canelo will have the odds to not merely end up being uncontested champ at a second weight lesson, but likewise retaliate the 2nd reduction of his occupation (the various other loss was against Floyd Mayweather in 2013). What remains to be found: Bivol's willingness to battle Canelo once again. When the rematch was actually covered during the summer season of 2023, Bivol was actually steadfast that the bout must happen at 168 extra pounds for Canelo's undisputed champion. Alvarez pointed out the battle needed to take place at 175. Whatever weight they decide on, this battle is by far the best possibility for Canelo if he's not visiting experience either David Benavidez or even Terence Crawford. Yet Bivol first has an incredible obstacle to face against Beterbiev.-- CoppingerReal or otherwise: Mikhailovich will dismiss AlimkhanulyJanibek Alimkhanuly, left behind, puts his IBF middleweight planet 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 accountability. He is actually a hostile and also brave competitor that appears all set to unleash after journeying to the U.S. months ago to fight, simply to find out that Alimkhanuly stopped working to bring in body weight and also the match was postponed.Mikhailovich is actually a highly effective puncher, and also punchers want to take on to land their strikes, so I anticipate him to accomplish merely that. In contrast, much of Alimkhanuly's previous challengers have gone into the ring along with insecurity, affected due to the hype encompassing the champ. This moment Alimkhanuly discovers himself outside his comfort region, facing an established, ready opposition. Although this is actually Mikhailovich's first match versus a world-class enemy, the stakes are higher as well as he possesses every little thing to acquire. The question is, can he stay away from obtaining knocked out early? Or can easily he hurt the champion early to acquire respect?I presume Mikhailovich's ruthless design could possibly trouble Alimkhanuly's counterpunching type, specifically considering that Alimkhanuly has actually simply gone the full 12 arounds the moment in his career. For Mikhailovich, surviving the very early arounds and taking the match deep will be key. Alimkhanuly's capacity to adjust and stand up to Mikhailovich's hostility and punching power is going to be fun to enjoy.-- BradleyReal or otherwise: Joshua will not get the rematch with Dubois nextDaniel Dubois, right, brought down Anthony Joshua 4 opportunities in the course of his fifth-round KO success to defend the IBF heavyweight world label. Richard Pelham/Getty ImagesNot real. Joshua, boxing's biggest earner behind Canelo, has actually gone coming from closing know a substantial, beneficial showdown along with the winner of the Dec. 21 Usyk vs. Fierceness match, to fighting to keep his name appropriate at boxing's top desk. To put themself back right into serious contention for a megafight in 2025, Joshua requires to restore some reputation after final month's five-round KO loss to Dubois, and the only technique he can do that is actually with a quick rematch.Though his marketer, Matchroom, could certainly not agree, Joshua won't mind taking the slim edge of a deal that will view him encounter Dubois in a sequel, this moment in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, potentially on Feb. 22, considering that it gives him the quickest option back. The victor of the Dubois vs. Joshua rematch would proceed to deal with the winner of Usyk vs. Violence 2 in summer months 2025, probably back at London's Wembley Coliseum, the scene of Joshua's embarrassing 4 presentations versus Dubois facing a UK-record 96,000 supporters two weeks ago. That match could be for all four primary heavyweight planet titles.Two-time champion Joshua (28-4, 25 KOs), who switches 35 this month, has actually already dismissed suggestions coming from past fighters including Barry McGuigan that he should resign, surrounded by questions concerning whether he is actually losing protection to power punches.Dubois (22-2, 21 KOs), 27, is also up for a rematch as well as is going to fancy his opportunities versus his shaken English opponent. As well as this time he will be actually paid for more.It was actually a chaotic, enjoyable as well as exhilarating battle the first time around, which will swell pay-per-view purchases for a rematch. But given that Dubois vs. Joshua 2 needs to take place in the winter months as well as the U.K. simply possesses one coliseum along with a roofing (Principality Arena in Cardiff, Wales, which possesses a capability of 74,500), it will be a surprise to see this battle property at a U.K. venue.Turki Alalshikh, the most strong have a place in punching that regulates schedules that happen on Saudi Arabia-backed boxing occasions, are going to be actually keen for such a big fight-- some of the greatest boxing may use next year-- taking place in Saudi Arabia.Matchroom promoter Eddie Hearn, that guides Joshua's job, mentions Joshua has actually actually conceded conditions, while Frank Warren, Dubois' promoter, claims Dubois is going to fight once more in February. Warren has actually additionally expressed his fervency for an instant rematch, therefore expect it to happen.-- ParkinsonReal or not: Sphere will protect his WBA featherweight label versus RiosNick Ball, left behind, succeeded the WBA featherweight label by beating Raymond Ford in June. Richard Pelham/Getty ImagesReal. Reception has actually been actually starving, alert and occupied in stepping as much as best level over the in 2013, even in fights where he didn't have his palm increased. The Liverpool-based 5-foot-2 pugilist performs certainly not appear to be troubled by a height drawback in planet title matches and also was regrettable to be denied success in a split draw against Rey Vargas, the WBC featherweight holder, in March. What was actually much more exceptional was actually Sphere's split selection win over Raymond Ford, that was recently unbeaten, for the WBA belt, back in June in Riyadh.Rios (34-4, 17 KOs), 34, has actually certainly not been actually as energetic or in the very same kind as Ball, who are going to teem with fire for his first world headline defense before his home metropolitan area fans. Ball (20-0-1, 11 KOs), 27, should beware, as Rios signed up an exceptional fifth-round KO of Nicolas Polanco in April, however that was actually the Californian's first outing in almost pair of years. Vargas likewise outpointed Rios in 2017, and Murodjon Akhmadaliev quit Rios in the last sphere for the WBA as well as IBF junior lightweight world labels in June 2022. Ball's electricity and wish will see him defend his WBA belt with a choice success.-- Parkinson.
