Cris Esqueda/Golden Boy/Getty ImagesNot real. If anything, the case could possibly pave the way for a negotiation that includes a deal for a rematch. The profit stint between Garcia and Haney is just very huge to miss, for both the competitors and the sport.There's the astounding dispute complying with Garcia's beneficial test and also succeeding 1 year restriction. Haney claims the PEDs brought about Garcia's stunning functionality, in addition to the fact Garcia was 3.2 pounds obese. Each transgressions are actually essential to the lawsuit.Haney was as long as a 9-1 favorite but was actually defeated three times in a dismayed loss that was eventually rescinded to a no competition. The battle was actually exhilarating, as well as the second fight stands up to become a ticket office bonanza.After all, the dominating idea moving into the April match was that Haney would certainly control. Garcia's behavior in the accumulation of the fight was actually therefore negligent that there was actually legit fear the battle definitely would not occur at all.Now, along with all the negative blood between the fighters alongside Garcia's developing celebrity power and his performance against Haney (perks in spite of), there will be actually great interest in a rematch. The suit only adds to the drama as well as might be the very trait that helps connect the problems to create the rematch take place.-- CoppingerReal or not: If Bivol reduces Beterbiev, he'll be actually the beloved to eliminate Alvarez in MayLight big-time champion Dmitry Bivol, left behind, defeated Canelo Alvarez by consensual decision in 2022. Etienne Laurent/EPA-EFEReal. Canelo informed ESPN last month that he was actually targeting a rematch must Bivol win upcoming full week. As well as why certainly not? Canelo was actually a significant preference against his past 4 rivals and has been largely criticized for his level of competition.Against Bivol, Canelo would certainly be a chosen longshot. Bivol transmitted Alvarez when they met in May 2022, despite the narrow directories. Bivol is actually not only much bigger yet was able to utilize his maneuvering and elite punching potential to befuddle and also discipline Alvarez.Editor's Picks2 RelatedCanelo has actually preserved the whole time that he's a much better boxer than Bivol which his operatively fixed hand will certainly help him prove it in a rematch. This would certainly likewise be a legacy fight. Canelo will possess the opportunity to certainly not only end up being recognized champ at a second body weight course, yet additionally avenge the second loss of his job (the other defeat protested Floyd Mayweather in 2013). What stays to become found: Bivol's determination to battle Canelo once again. When the rematch was reviewed in the course of the summer of 2023, Bivol was enduring that the bout should happen at 168 extra pounds for Canelo's unquestioned champion. Alvarez said the battle needed to happen at 175. Whatever weight they settle on, this match is easily the best alternative for Canelo if he's not going to experience either David Benavidez or Terence Crawford. However Bivol to begin with has an enormous problem to deal with versus Beterbiev.-- CoppingerReal or otherwise: Mikhailovich will depose AlimkhanulyJanibek Alimkhanuly, left, puts his IBF middleweight world title vulnerable against Andrei Mikhailovich on Friday in Australia. Mikey Williams/Top RankReal: Mikhailovich, of New Zealand, is entering the supplant Australia with a strong feeling of accountability. He's an aggressive and courageous fighter that seems to be prepared to unleash after taking a trip to the USA months ago to eliminate, merely to find that Alimkhanuly neglected to create weight as well as the battle was actually postponed.Mikhailovich is a strong puncher, as well as punchers agree to engage to land their strikes, so I expect him to do just that. In contrast, most of Alimkhanuly's previous opponents have gone into the band along with self-doubt, affected due to the buzz neighboring the champ. This moment Alimkhanuly locates himself outside his comfort area, encountering an established, eager challenger. Although this is Mikhailovich's initial match versus a first-rate challenger, the risks are actually higher and also he has every little thing to acquire. The question is, can he avoid receiving knocked senseless early? Or can he injure the champ early to acquire respect?I believe Mikhailovich's unrelenting style can trouble Alimkhanuly's counterpunching style, particularly because Alimkhanuly has merely gone the full 12 spheres once in his profession. For Mikhailovich, surviving the early arounds and also taking the fight deep will definitely be actually key. Alimkhanuly's ability to adjust as well as tolerate Mikhailovich's aggressiveness and drilling electrical power will definitely be fun to watch.-- BradleyReal or not: Joshua is going to certainly not take the rematch with Dubois nextDaniel Dubois, right, brought down Anthony Joshua four opportunities in the course of his fifth-round KO success to safeguard the IBF abundant globe headline. Richard Pelham/Getty ImagesNot real. Joshua, boxing's biggest earner behind Canelo, has actually gone from closing with it a big, rewarding face-off along with the winner of the Dec. 21 Usyk vs. Fierceness fight, to fighting to maintain his name applicable at punching's top table. To put himself back into severe hostility for a megafight in 2025, Joshua needs to restore some reliability after final month's five-round KO loss to Dubois, and also the only way he can possibly do that is with an instant rematch.Though his marketer, Matchroom, might not concede, Joshua won't mind taking the slim side of an offer that will view him encounter Dubois in a sequel, this time around in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, likely on Feb. 22, considering that it supplies him the quickest route back. The winner of the Dubois vs. Joshua rematch will proceed to encounter the victor of Usyk vs. Fury 2 in summer months 2025, potentially back at Greater london's Wembley Arena, the performance of Joshua's embarrassing 4 presentations versus Dubois in front of a UK-record 96,000 followers 2 weeks ago. That fight can be for all four significant big-time world titles.Two-time champ Joshua (28-4, 25 KOs), who switches 35 this month, has actually currently dismissed pointers coming from former boxers like Barry McGuigan that he ought to resign, surrounded by questions as to whether he is dropping resistance to energy punches.Dubois (22-2, 21 KOs), 27, is actually likewise up for a rematch as well as will definitely elaborate his possibilities versus his shaken English opponent. And this time he will be actually spent more.It was a chaotic, amusing and also awesome battle the very first time around, which will swell pay-per-view sales for a rematch. However given that Dubois vs. Joshua 2 demands to take place in the winter as well as the U.K. simply has one arena with a rooftop (Principality Coliseum in Cardiff, Wales, which possesses an ability of 74,500), it will be actually an unpleasant surprise to find this battle property at a U.K. venue.Turki Alalshikh, one of the most highly effective figure in boxing that manages schedules that occur on Saudi Arabia-backed boxing celebrations, will be actually interested for such a large match-- some of the largest punching can easily use upcoming year-- happening in Saudi Arabia.Matchroom promoter Eddie Hearn, who quick guides Joshua's occupation, says Joshua has already conceded phrases, while Frank Warren, Dubois' promoter, points out Dubois is going to battle once again in February. Warren has also revealed his gusto for an instant rematch, thus anticipate it to occur.-- ParkinsonReal or otherwise: Ball will definitely safeguard his WBA featherweight label versus RiosNick Sphere, left behind, succeeded the WBA featherweight label by defeating Raymond Ford in June. Richard Pelham/Getty ImagesReal. Reception has actually been starving, sharp as well as busy symphonious around elite degree over the in 2013, even in matches where he didn't have his hand raised. The Liverpool-based 5-foot-2 pugilist carries out not seem to be to be bothered through a height disadvantage in world title battles and was actually unlucky to be rejected victory in a split draw against Rey Vargas, the WBC featherweight holder, in March. What was actually much more outstanding was Ball's split choice get Raymond Ford, that was earlier undefeated, for the WBA waistband, back in June in Riyadh.Rios (34-4, 17 KOs), 34, has actually not been actually as energetic or in the very same type as Sphere, who are going to teem with fire for his first planet headline self defense in front of his home city supporters. Round (20-0-1, 11 KOs), 27, need to make sure, as Rios enrolled an outstanding fifth-round KO of Nicolas Polanco in April, however that was the Californian's initial getaway in almost two years. Vargas also outpointed Rios in 2017, as well as Murodjon Akhmadaliev ceased Rios in the last round for the WBA and also IBF junior lightweight planet headlines in June 2022.
