Cris Esqueda/Golden Boy/Getty ImagesNot real. If anything, the claim can lead the way for a settlement deal that features a bargain for a rematch. The gain stint between Garcia as well as Haney is actually simply too significant to skip, for both the boxers and also the sport.There's the enormous controversy observing Garcia's beneficial examination and also subsequent 1 year restriction. Haney asserts the PEDs resulted in Garcia's shocking performance, alongside the fact Garcia was actually 3.2 extra pounds over weight. Each infractions are actually vital to the lawsuit.Haney was actually as long as a 9-1 favored yet was defeated 3 attend a dismayed loss that was later rescinded to a no competition. The match was awesome, as well as the second bout stands up to become a ticket office bonanza.After all, the dominating idea heading into the April competition was actually that Haney would dominate. Garcia's actions in the buildup of the fight was thus careless that there was legitimate dread the match would not occur at all.Now, along with all the poor blood stream in between the competitors in addition to Garcia's growing superstar electrical power as well as his performance against Haney (benefits in spite of), there will be actually enormous interest in a rematch. The claim merely includes in the drama and can be the actual point that aids unite the concerns to bring in the rematch happen.-- CoppingerReal or not: If Bivol defeats Beterbiev, he'll be actually the preferred to overcome Alvarez in MayLight heavyweight champion Dmitry Bivol, left, reduced Canelo Alvarez by unanimous choice in 2022. Etienne Laurent/EPA-EFEReal. Canelo said to ESPN final month that he was actually targeting a rematch must Bivol succeed following week. As well as why not? Canelo was a major fave against his past 4 challengers and also has actually been actually extensively slammed for his level of competition.Against Bivol, Canelo would certainly be actually a decided underdog. Bivol transmitted Alvarez when they met in May 2022, regardless of the slim scorecards. Bivol is not simply bigger however managed to utilize his maneuvering and elite punching capacity to befuddle and also punish Alvarez.Editor's Picks2 RelatedCanelo has preserved all along that he is actually a much better fighter than Bivol and that his surgically fixed hand is going to help him prove it in a rematch. This would likewise be a tradition battle. Canelo would certainly have the odds to not merely come to be indisputable champ at a 2nd body weight class, however also avenge the 2nd reduction of his job (the other loss protested Floyd Mayweather in 2013). What continues to be to become seen: Bivol's willingness to deal with Canelo again. When the rematch was discussed during the summer of 2023, Bivol was steadfast that the match has to happen at 168 pounds for Canelo's undisputed champion. Alvarez said the match needed to have to happen at 175. Whatever weight they settle on, this match is actually easily the most effective option for Canelo if he's not going to face either David Benavidez or even Terence Crawford. However Bivol first has an incredible problem to deal with against Beterbiev.-- CoppingerReal or not: Mikhailovich will definitely dethrone 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 stepping into the supplant Australia with a brutal sense of duty. He is actually a threatening and fearless boxer that seems to be all set to unleash after taking a trip to the U.S. months ago to fight, simply to uncover that Alimkhanuly stopped working to make body weight as well as the battle was postponed.Mikhailovich is actually a strong puncher, and also punchers agree to take on to land their strikes, so I anticipate him to do simply that. On the other hand, many of Alimkhanuly's previous challengers have actually entered the band with self-doubt, affected due to the hype surrounding the champion. This time Alimkhanuly locates themself outside his convenience region, encountering a calculated, eager challenger. Although this is actually Mikhailovich's 1st fight versus a first-rate enemy, the concerns are actually high and also he has whatever to obtain. The inquiry is, can he prevent acquiring knocked senseless early? Or may he harm the champion early to obtain respect?I presume Mikhailovich's unrelenting design could possibly trouble Alimkhanuly's counterpunching type, particularly considering that Alimkhanuly has only gone the complete 12 arounds when in his profession. For Mikhailovich, surviving the very early spheres and taking the battle deep will certainly be vital. Alimkhanuly's potential to conform and also hold up against Mikhailovich's aggression and also drilling power is going to be actually fun to enjoy.-- BradleyReal or otherwise: Joshua will definitely certainly not take the rematch along with Dubois nextDaniel Dubois, straight, tore down Anthony Joshua four opportunities during the course of his fifth-round KO success to safeguard the IBF abundant planet title. Richard Pelham/Getty ImagesNot real. Joshua, punching's most significant earner responsible for Canelo, has actually gone coming from closing with it a significant, profitable face-off along with the champion of the Dec. 21 Usyk vs. Frenzy match, to eliminating to maintain his title pertinent at boxing's top table. To put themself back into severe combat for a megafight in 2025, Joshua requires to reclaim some integrity after last month's five-round KO defeat to Dubois, and also the only way he can do that is actually along with a prompt rematch.Though his marketer, Matchroom, might certainly not acknowledge, Joshua will not mind taking the thin side of a bargain that will observe him face Dubois in a part two, this time around in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, potentially on Feb. 22, given that it delivers him the quickest path back. The champion of the Dubois vs. Joshua rematch would certainly advance to experience the winner of Usyk vs. Violence 2 in summer season 2025, probably back at Greater london's Wembley Coliseum, the performance of Joshua's embarrassing 4 presentations versus Dubois facing a UK-record 96,000 fans pair of weeks back.

And also this time he will be paid out more.It was actually a chaotic, engaging as well as electrifying fight the first time around, which would swell pay-per-view sales for a rematch. Yet due to the fact that Dubois vs. Joshua 2 demands to happen in the winter season as well as the U.K. only has one coliseum along with a roofing (Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales, which possesses a capacity of 74,500), it will be a surprise to observe this fight land at a U.K. venue.Turki Alalshikh, the most effective have a place in punching who manages lineups that occur on Saudi Arabia-backed boxing activities, are going to be eager for such a large match-- among the most significant boxing can easily use following year-- occurring in Saudi Arabia.Matchroom promoter Eddie Hearn, who resources Joshua's career, states Joshua has actually actually acknowledged phrases, while Frank Warren, Dubois' promoter, mentions Dubois will certainly battle again in February. Warren has actually likewise revealed his fervency for an urgent rematch, therefore anticipate it to take place.-- ParkinsonReal or not: Ball will safeguard his WBA featherweight title against RiosNick Round, left behind, succeeded the WBA featherweight headline through defeating Raymond Ford in June. Richard Pelham/Getty ImagesReal. Reception has been actually famished, alert as well as active in stepping approximately elite level over the in 2013, even in fights where he didn't possess his palm increased. The Liverpool-based 5-foot-2 boxer carries out certainly not seem to become bothered through an elevation disadvantage in globe headline matches as well as was regrettable to be denied success in a split draw against Rey Vargas, the WBC featherweight holder, in March. What was extra outstanding was actually Sphere's crack decision win over Raymond Ford, that was previously unbeaten, for the WBA waistband, back in June in Riyadh.Rios (34-4, 17 KOs), 34, has actually certainly not been actually as active or in the exact same kind as Round, who are going to have lots of fire for his initial planet label defense facing his home metropolitan area followers. Round (20-0-1, 11 KOs), 27, must take care, as Rios enrolled an exceptional fifth-round KO of Nicolas Polanco in April, but that was the Californian's initial outing in almost two years. Vargas also outpointed Rios in 2017, and also Murodjon Akhmadaliev stopped Rios in the final round for the WBA and also IBF junior lightweight world headlines in June 2022.
