Cris Esqueda/Golden Boy/Getty ImagesNot real. If anything, the claim could break the ice for a negotiation that includes a package for a rematch. The gain round between Garcia as well as Haney is merely too huge to pass up, for both the competitors as well as the sport.There's the immense controversy observing Garcia's positive test and also subsequent 1 year ban. Haney declares the PEDs brought about Garcia's stunning performance, alongside the reality Garcia was actually 3.2 extra pounds over weight. Both violations are crucial to the lawsuit.Haney was as long as a 9-1 beloved however was actually knocked down three times in an upset loss that was later on overturned to a no contest. The fight was actually electrifying, and the second battle stands up to be a ticket office bonanza.After all, the dominating thought heading in to the April matchup was that Haney will control. Garcia's actions in the buildup of the match was thus careless that there was reputable are afraid of the battle wouldn't take place at all.Now, along with all the bad blood between the competitors together with Garcia's increasing celebrity electrical power as well as his efficiency versus Haney (perks nevertheless), there would certainly be astounding rate of interest in a rematch. The legal action just contributes to the drama and may be the actual point that aids connect the problems to create the rematch occur.-- CoppingerReal or not: If Bivol defeats Beterbiev, he'll be the favorite to fight Alvarez in MayLight big-time champ Dmitry Bivol, left, reduced Canelo Alvarez by consensual choice in 2022. Etienne Laurent/EPA-EFEReal. Canelo told ESPN final month that he was actually targeting a rematch ought to Bivol succeed following full week. As well as why not? Canelo was actually a major favorite against his previous four challengers as well as has been actually largely criticized for his amount of competition.Against Bivol, Canelo would be a determined underdog. Bivol routed Alvarez when they fulfilled in May 2022, regardless of the slender directories. Bivol is actually not just much bigger but had the ability to utilize his maneuvering as well as elite punching potential to befuddle as well as discipline Alvarez.Editor's Picks2 RelatedCanelo has actually maintained during that he's a better fighter than Bivol and that his operatively repaired hand will assist him show it in a rematch. This would certainly also be actually a tradition fight. Canelo would certainly have the opportunity to certainly not simply become uncontested champ at a second weight class, but likewise retaliate the second reduction of his profession (the various other disappointment protested Floyd Mayweather in 2013). What remains to be viewed: Bivol's determination to fight Canelo again. When the rematch was actually covered during the summer months of 2023, Bivol was unwavering that the struggle should occur at 168 pounds for Canelo's uncontested champion. Alvarez stated the match required to occur at 175. Whatever body weight they decide on, this fight is actually by far the best alternative for Canelo if he's certainly not mosting likely to face either David Benavidez or Terence Crawford. Yet Bivol to begin with possesses a tremendous difficulty to face against Beterbiev.-- CoppingerReal or otherwise: 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 stepping into the ring in Australia with an intense feeling of responsibility. He's a threatening and brave fighter that seems to be all set to release after traveling to the USA months ago to fight, just to discover that Alimkhanuly stopped working to make body weight as well as the battle was actually postponed.Mikhailovich is actually a highly effective puncher, and punchers are willing to engage to land their strikes, so I expect him to do just that. In contrast, many of Alimkhanuly's previous challengers have entered the band with insecurity, determined by the buzz neighboring the champion. This moment Alimkhanuly finds himself outside his comfort area, facing a calculated, willing challenger. Although this is actually Mikhailovich's 1st battle against a world-class challenger, the stakes are actually high and also he has every little thing to get. The question is actually, can he stay away from receiving knocked senseless early? Or even can he injure the champ early to get respect?I assume Mikhailovich's ruthless type might trouble Alimkhanuly's counterpunching type, particularly given that Alimkhanuly has simply gone the full 12 arounds once in his profession. For Mikhailovich, making it through the early spheres and taking the match deep will certainly be vital. Alimkhanuly's capability to conform as well as stand up to Mikhailovich's aggression and punching electrical power will certainly be actually fun to watch.-- BradleyReal or not: Joshua will definitely not get the rematch with Dubois nextDaniel Dubois, straight, tore down Anthony Joshua four opportunities in the course of his fifth-round KO success to fight for the IBF heavyweight world title. Richard Pelham/Getty ImagesNot real. Joshua, boxing's largest wage earner responsible for Canelo, has actually gone coming from closing know a large, rewarding showdown with the champion of the Dec. 21 Usyk vs. Rabidity fight, to fighting to maintain his label pertinent at punching's leading desk. To place themself back in to major altercation for a megafight in 2025, Joshua needs to reclaim some trustworthiness after last month's five-round KO defeat to Dubois, and the only means he may do that is actually along with a prompt rematch.Though his marketer, Matchroom, might certainly not acknowledge, Joshua won't mind taking the slim edge of a package that will certainly observe him encounter Dubois in a follow up, this time around in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, likely on Feb. 22, since it offers him the quickest route back. The winner of the Dubois vs. Joshua rematch would progress to encounter the victor of Usyk vs. Rabidity 2 in summer season 2025, perhaps back at London's Wembley Stadium, the performance of Joshua's embarrassing four presentations versus Dubois in front of a UK-record 96,000 fans 2 weeks earlier. That battle could be for all four major big-time planet titles.Two-time champ Joshua (28-4, 25 KOs), who switches 35 this month, has actually presently put away tips from previous fighters such as Barry McGuigan that he must retire, among hesitations concerning whether he is actually dropping protection to electrical power punches.Dubois (22-2, 21 KOs), 27, is actually likewise up for a rematch as well as will lavish his odds against his shaken English rival. And also this moment he would certainly be actually spent more.It was actually a chaotic, enjoyable and electrifying battle the very first time around, which will swell pay-per-view sales for a rematch. But due to the fact that Dubois vs. Joshua 2 requirements to take place in the winter season as well as the U.K. just has one coliseum with a roof covering (Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales, which has a capability of 74,500), it would certainly be actually an unpleasant surprise to see this fight property at a U.K. venue.Turki Alalshikh, one of the most effective figure in punching that regulates lineups that take place on Saudi Arabia-backed boxing activities, will be actually eager for such a sizable match-- some of the most significant punching may provide following year-- occurring in Saudi Arabia.Matchroom marketer Eddie Hearn, who resources Joshua's occupation, claims Joshua has presently concurred conditions, while Frank Warren, Dubois' promoter, states Dubois will definitely battle once again in February. Warren has likewise conveyed his gusto for a quick rematch, so anticipate it to take place.-- ParkinsonReal or otherwise: Round will shield his WBA featherweight title against RiosNick Round, left behind, won the WBA featherweight label by beating Raymond Ford in June. Richard Pelham/Getty ImagesReal. Reception has actually been actually famished, alert and also occupied symphonious as much as best amount over the in 2014, even in fights where he didn't have his hand raised. The Liverpool-based 5-foot-2 boxer does certainly not seem to be troubled by a height disadvantage in world title matches and also was unfortunate to become rejected success in a crack draw versus Rey Vargas, the WBC featherweight titleholder, in March. What was actually even more remarkable was Round's crack decision gain Raymond Ford, that was previously undefeated, for the WBA belt, back in June in Riyadh.Rios (34-4, 17 KOs), 34, has certainly not been actually as active or in the very same type as Ball, who will definitely have plenty of fire for his very first planet headline defense facing his home area fans. Sphere (20-0-1, 11 KOs), 27, should take care, as Rios registered an exceptional fifth-round KO of Nicolas Polanco in April, yet that was actually the Californian's first getaway in just about 2 years. Vargas also outpointed Rios in 2017, and also Murodjon Akhmadaliev ceased Rios in the last round for the WBA and also IBF junior featherweight planet titles in June 2022. Round's electricity and also need will see him defend his WBA waistband along with a selection success.-- Parkinson.
