Cris Esqueda/Golden Boy/Getty ImagesNot real. If anything, the case could possibly pave the way for a settlement deal that consists of an offer for a rematch. The yield round in between Garcia as well as Haney is actually just extremely big to avoid, for both the boxers as well as the sport.There's the enormous controversy observing Garcia's good test as well as subsequent 1 year ban. Haney asserts the PEDs brought about Garcia's astonishing functionality, in addition to the fact Garcia was 3.2 extra pounds obese. Both offenses are actually essential to the lawsuit.Haney was actually as much as a 9-1 beloved but was defeated three times in a distressed loss that was actually later rescinded to a no contest. The fight was exhilarating, and the 2nd match stands up to be a ticket office bonanza.After all, the prevailing idea heading into the April match was that Haney would dominate. Garcia's habits in the accumulation of the fight was actually therefore negligent that there was genuine are afraid the match would not occur at all.Now, along with all the poor blood in between the boxers along with Garcia's increasing star energy as well as his efficiency versus Haney (conveniences notwithstanding), there would certainly be astounding enthusiasm in a rematch. The suit merely contributes to the drama as well as could be the exact thing that assists connect the concerns to bring in the rematch occur.-- CoppingerReal or not: If Bivol reduces Beterbiev, he'll be the favorite to eliminate Alvarez in MayLight big-time champion Dmitry Bivol, left behind, defeated Canelo Alvarez by consensual choice in 2022. Etienne Laurent/EPA-EFEReal. Canelo said to ESPN final month that he was actually targeting a rematch ought to Bivol win next week. And why not? Canelo was a significant fave versus his previous 4 rivals as well as has actually been actually widely criticized for his amount of competition.Against Bivol, Canelo will be a made a decision longshot. Bivol directed Alvarez when they satisfied in May 2022, in spite of the slim directories. Bivol is not just greater but managed to use his maneuvering and best punching potential to baffle and also penalize Alvarez.Editor's Picks2 RelatedCanelo has sustained the whole time that he's a much better fighter than Bivol and that his operatively mended palm is going to assist him verify it in a rematch. This would certainly also be actually a tradition battle. Canelo would possess the chance to certainly not simply end up being undisputed champ at a second weight training class, but likewise retaliate the 2nd loss of his job (the other disappointment protested Floyd Mayweather in 2013). What continues to be to be observed: Bivol's determination to combat Canelo once again. When the rematch was covered throughout the summertime of 2023, Bivol was actually staunch that the bout must occur at 168 extra pounds for Canelo's unquestioned championship. Alvarez said the match needed to have to occur at 175. Whatever body weight they pick, this battle is easily the best choice for Canelo if he's not heading to experience either David Benavidez or Terence Crawford. However Bivol initially possesses a remarkable challenge to experience against Beterbiev.-- CoppingerReal or not: Mikhailovich is going to displace AlimkhanulyJanibek Alimkhanuly, left, 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 supplant Australia with a tough sense of duty. He is actually a hostile and also courageous boxer who seems to be all set to let loose after journeying to the united state months ago to eliminate, simply to uncover that Alimkhanuly stopped working to bring in body weight as well as the battle was postponed.Mikhailovich is a strong puncher, and also punchers agree to take on to land their strikes, so I anticipate him to perform simply that. On the other hand, a number of Alimkhanuly's previous challengers have gotten into the band along with insecurity, influenced by the hype neighboring the champ. This moment Alimkhanuly discovers themself outside his comfort zone, facing a found out, prepared challenger. Although this is actually Mikhailovich's 1st match versus an outstanding enemy, the risks are actually high and also he has whatever to obtain. The inquiry is, can he steer clear of obtaining knocked out early? Or even can easily he harm the champ early to obtain respect?I assume Mikhailovich's relentless design could trouble Alimkhanuly's counterpunching design, especially considering that Alimkhanuly has merely gone the complete 12 spheres once in his profession. For Mikhailovich, enduring the very early arounds as well as taking the fight deep will certainly be vital. Alimkhanuly's capability to adjust as well as withstand Mikhailovich's aggressiveness as well as drilling electrical power will definitely be exciting to enjoy.-- BradleyReal or otherwise: Joshua will certainly not take the rematch along with Dubois nextDaniel Dubois, straight, brought down Anthony Joshua 4 times during his fifth-round KO success to fight for the IBF abundant globe title. Richard Pelham/Getty ImagesNot real. Joshua, boxing's most significant income earner behind Canelo, has gone coming from closing know a substantial, financially rewarding showdown with the winner of the Dec. 21 Usyk vs. Frenzy battle, to overcoming to maintain his label appropriate at boxing's top table. To place themself back in to significant contention for a megafight in 2025, Joshua needs to have to reclaim some reputation after final month's five-round KO defeat to Dubois, and the only method he may do that is with a quick rematch.Though his marketer, Matchroom, may certainly not agree, Joshua will not mind taking the skinny edge of a package that will definitely see him face Dubois in a part two, this moment in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, possibly on Feb. 22, because it offers him the quickest option back. The champion of the Dubois vs. Joshua rematch would advance to deal with the victor of Usyk vs. Violence 2 in summertime 2025, potentially back at London's Wembley Stadium, the performance of Joshua's humiliating 4 knockdowns against Dubois in front of a UK-record 96,000 fans pair of full weeks back. That match might be for all four primary big-time world titles.Two-time champ Joshua (28-4, 25 KOs), that transforms 35 this month, has actually already put away tips from former fighters like Barry McGuigan that he need to retire, in the middle of doubts regarding whether he is shedding resistance to energy punches.Dubois (22-2, 21 KOs), 27, is actually likewise up for a rematch as well as will elaborate his opportunities against his trembled English opponent. And this moment he would certainly be spent more.It was actually a disorderly, enjoyable as well as electrifying match the first time around, which would swell pay-per-view sales for a rematch. However considering that Dubois vs. Joshua 2 necessities to take place in the winter months and also the U.K. only has one stadium along with a roof (Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales, which possesses an ability of 74,500), it would be actually a shock to view this fight land at a U.K. venue.Turki Alalshikh, the absolute most effective have a place in boxing who manages lineups that occur on Saudi Arabia-backed boxing activities, will certainly be eager for such a big match-- among the greatest boxing can provide next year-- happening in Saudi Arabia.Matchroom promoter Eddie Hearn, who guides Joshua's occupation, points out Joshua has actually already acknowledged terms, while Frank Warren, Dubois' promoter, mentions Dubois will definitely fight once more in February. Warren has actually also conveyed his gusto for a prompt rematch, therefore expect it to occur.-- ParkinsonReal or not: Round will certainly defend his WBA featherweight label against RiosNick Round, left, succeeded the WBA featherweight headline through beating Raymond Ford in June. Richard Pelham/Getty ImagesReal. Reception has actually been actually hungry, sharp as well as occupied in stepping up to elite amount over the in 2015, also in battles where he really did not possess his palm elevated. The Liverpool-based 5-foot-2 fighter performs certainly not seem to be to become worried about through a height downside in globe headline matches and was unlucky to be denied success in a split draw against Rey Vargas, the WBC featherweight holder, in March. What was actually more remarkable was Round's crack choice get Raymond Ford, who was actually recently unbeaten, for the WBA waistband, back in June in Riyadh.Rios (34-4, 17 KOs), 34, has actually certainly not been actually as energetic or even in the very same kind as Sphere, that will certainly teem with fire for his 1st planet label protection before his home city enthusiasts. Sphere (20-0-1, 11 KOs), 27, must make sure, as Rios signed up an impressive fifth-round KO of Nicolas Polanco in April, yet that was the Californian's initial outing in almost two years. Vargas also outpointed Rios in 2017, as well as Murodjon Akhmadaliev ceased Rios in the final around for the WBA and IBF junior light world titles in June 2022. Ball's energy and need are going to observe him shield his WBA waistband along with a choice triumph.-- Parkinson.
