Cris Esqueda/Golden Boy/Getty ImagesNot real. If everything, the legal action could possibly lead the way for a negotiation that includes a deal for a rematch. The yield stint between Garcia and also Haney is actually simply extremely major to refuse, for both the competitors and also the sport.There's the huge debate complying with Garcia's favorable exam as well as subsequent 1 year ban. Haney professes the PEDs triggered Garcia's astonishing performance, in addition to the fact Garcia was actually 3.2 extra pounds overweight. Each infractions are crucial to the lawsuit.Haney was as high as a 9-1 favorite but was defeated 3 times in an upset reduction that was actually later reversed to a no competition. The battle was actually electrifying, and the second bout stands up to be a ticket office bonanza.After all of, the prevailing thought moving into the April match was that Haney will dominate. Garcia's habits in the build-up of the fight was thus reckless that there was actually valid dread the battle wouldn't take place at all.Now, along with all the negative blood stream in between the boxers in addition to Garcia's developing star electrical power and also his efficiency versus Haney (conveniences notwithstanding), there would certainly be actually astounding passion in a rematch. The legal action just includes in the dramatization as well as might be the actual trait that assists connect the issues to make the rematch happen.-- CoppingerReal or otherwise: If Bivol reduces Beterbiev, he'll be actually the favored to combat Alvarez in MayLight big-time champ Dmitry Bivol, left behind, defeated Canelo Alvarez by unanimous decision in 2022. Etienne Laurent/EPA-EFEReal. Canelo informed ESPN final month that he was targeting a rematch should Bivol gain next full week. As well as why certainly not? Canelo was actually a significant fave versus his past four opponents and also has actually been largely criticized for his degree of competition.Against Bivol, Canelo would certainly be actually a determined underdog. Bivol transmitted Alvarez when they complied with in May 2022, despite the slim scorecards. Bivol is actually not only much bigger but had the capacity to utilize his maneuvering and also elite boxing ability to befuddle and also discipline Alvarez.Editor's Picks2 RelatedCanelo has actually sustained all along that he's a far better competitor than Bivol which his surgically restored palm will assist him confirm it in a rematch. This will also be a legacy fight. Canelo would have the odds to certainly not only come to be undisputed champ at a second weight course, yet also vindicate the second reduction of his profession (the various other disappointment protested Floyd Mayweather in 2013). What stays to be seen: Bivol's willingness to fight Canelo once more. When the rematch was actually discussed throughout the summer season of 2023, Bivol was unwavering that the battle needs to take place at 168 pounds for Canelo's unquestioned champion. Alvarez claimed the match required to occur at 175. Whatever body weight they settle on, this fight is by far the best possibility for Canelo if he's not heading to encounter either David Benavidez or Terence Crawford. However Bivol initially has an incredible challenge to experience against Beterbiev.-- CoppingerReal or otherwise: Mikhailovich will certainly uncrown AlimkhanulyJanibek Alimkhanuly, left behind, places his IBF middleweight world title vulnerable versus Andrei Mikhailovich on Friday in Australia. Mikey Williams/Top RankReal: Mikhailovich, of New Zealand, is actually stepping into the ring in Australia with a ferocious feeling of duty. He is actually a hostile as well as fearless competitor who seems to be ready to unleash after taking a trip to the U.S. months ago to overcome, merely to find out that Alimkhanuly failed to create weight as well as the battle was actually postponed.Mikhailovich is actually a powerful puncher, and punchers agree to take on to land their strikes, so I anticipate him to accomplish simply that. On the other hand, a number of Alimkhanuly's previous opponents have actually entered into the band with insecurity, influenced by the hype neighboring the champion. This time Alimkhanuly finds himself outside his convenience zone, experiencing a calculated, willing opposition. Although this is actually Mikhailovich's initial fight against a world-class opponent, the stakes are high and he has whatever to gain. The concern is, can he steer clear of getting knocked senseless early? Or can he injure the champ early to obtain respect?I assume Mikhailovich's ruthless design could possibly trouble Alimkhanuly's counterpunching type, particularly given that Alimkhanuly has actually merely gone the comprehensive 12 spheres once in his occupation. For Mikhailovich, enduring the early arounds and taking the battle deep is going to be actually key. Alimkhanuly's capacity to conform as well as hold up against Mikhailovich's hostility and also punching electrical power will definitely be exciting to view.-- BradleyReal or not: Joshua will definitely not get the rematch along with Dubois nextDaniel Dubois, right, tore down Anthony Joshua four times during his fifth-round KO triumph to guard the IBF abundant planet label.

Joshua, punching's most significant income earner behind Canelo, has gone coming from closing know a substantial, rewarding showdown along with the winner of the Dec. 21 Usyk vs. Frenzy battle, to combating to maintain his name appropriate at punching's top desk. To place himself back into serious hostility for a megafight in 2025, Joshua needs to gain back some reliability after final month's five-round KO loss to Dubois, and also the only method he may do that is actually with a quick rematch.Though his promoter, Matchroom, might not acknowledge, Joshua will not mind taking the thin side of a bargain that are going to observe him encounter Dubois in a part two, this moment in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, potentially on Feb. 22, given that it gives him the quickest course back. The champion of the Dubois vs. Joshua rematch will proceed to deal with the winner of Usyk vs. Madness 2 in summertime 2025, perhaps back at Greater london's Wembley Stadium, the scene of Joshua's embarrassing four presentations against Dubois facing a UK-record 96,000 enthusiasts pair of full weeks ago.

As well as this time he would certainly be actually paid for more.It was a turbulent, engaging as well as electrifying match the first time around, which would certainly swell pay-per-view sales for a rematch. However because Dubois vs. Joshua 2 requirements to occur in the winter season and the U.K. just possesses one stadium along with a roofing system (Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales, which has an ability of 74,500), it would certainly be an unpleasant surprise to observe this match land at a U.K. venue.Turki Alalshikh, the most effective figure in boxing who handles schedules that occur on Saudi Arabia-backed punching events, will definitely be eager for such a big battle-- one of the biggest boxing may offer next year-- occurring in Saudi Arabia.Matchroom marketer Eddie Hearn, that overviews Joshua's profession, mentions Joshua has already agreed phrases, while Frank Warren, Dubois' marketer, points out Dubois is going to fight once more in February. Warren has actually also expressed his gusto for an immediate rematch, thus expect it to take place.-- ParkinsonReal or otherwise: Round will certainly safeguard his WBA featherweight headline against RiosNick Round, left, gained the WBA featherweight headline by defeating Raymond Ford in June. Richard Pelham/Getty ImagesReal.

The Liverpool-based 5-foot-2 pugilist does certainly not seem to be to be bothered through an elevation negative aspect in planet title matches and was unfavorable to become rejected triumph in a split draw against Rey Vargas, the WBC featherweight titleholder, in March. What was actually much more remarkable was Ball's crack selection sway Raymond Ford, that was earlier undefeated, for the WBA waistband, back in June in Riyadh.Rios (34-4, 17 KOs), 34, has certainly not been as active or even in the same kind as Sphere, that will be full of fire for his first world headline protection in front of his home area fans.

Vargas additionally outpointed Rios in 2017, and Murodjon Akhmadaliev ceased Rios in the last around for the WBA as well as IBF junior lightweight world headlines in June 2022.
