Cris Esqueda/Golden Boy/Getty ImagesNot real. If anything, the lawsuit can pave the way for a settlement deal that features a deal for a rematch. The profit bout in between Garcia and also Haney is actually just extremely big to miss, for both the competitors and the sport.There's the huge controversy adhering to Garcia's good exam and also subsequential 1 year ban. Haney asserts the PEDs caused Garcia's surprising functionality, in addition to the truth Garcia was 3.2 pounds obese. Both offenses are key to the lawsuit.Haney was as much as a 9-1 favorite but was actually knocked down three times in a distressed reduction that was actually later on rescinded to a no competition. The match was actually electrifying, and also the 2nd struggle stands up to be a ticket office bonanza.After all, the dominating notion heading in to the April competition was that Haney would control. Garcia's actions in the accumulation of the fight was so reckless that there was actually legitimate are afraid the struggle would not occur at all.Now, with all the bad blood in between the competitors together with Garcia's growing superstar power as well as his performance versus Haney (advantages regardless of), there would be immense rate of interest in a rematch. The case merely contributes to the dramatization as well as might be the exact thing that helps connect the problems to create the rematch happen.-- CoppingerReal or otherwise: If Bivol defeats Beterbiev, he'll be actually the favored to combat Alvarez in MayLight heavyweight champion Dmitry Bivol, left, defeated Canelo Alvarez through consensual decision in 2022. Etienne Laurent/EPA-EFEReal. Canelo told ESPN final month that he was targeting a rematch should Bivol gain upcoming week. And also why certainly not? Canelo was a significant preference against his past 4 challengers and has been widely criticized for his amount of competition.Against Bivol, Canelo would certainly be a determined longshot. Bivol directed Alvarez when they fulfilled in May 2022, regardless of the slender directories. Bivol is actually not just bigger but had the ability to utilize his footwork as well as elite punching capability to baffle as well as discipline Alvarez.Editor's Picks2 RelatedCanelo has actually sustained the whole time that he is actually a much better boxer than Bivol and that his operatively fixed palm will aid him confirm it in a rematch. This would certainly additionally be a heritage battle. Canelo would certainly possess the possibility to certainly not merely become recognized champion at a second body weight lesson, however also avenge the second reduction of his profession (the other defeat protested Floyd Mayweather in 2013). What remains to be seen: Bivol's willingness to deal with Canelo once more. When the rematch was actually talked about in the course of the summer months of 2023, Bivol was unyielding that the fight needs to happen at 168 extra pounds for Canelo's undisputed championship. Alvarez mentioned the match needed to have to happen at 175. Whatever weight they settle on, this battle is without a doubt the most ideal choice for Canelo if he is actually certainly not going to face either David Benavidez or Terence Crawford. Yet Bivol to begin with has an enormous difficulty to encounter against Beterbiev.-- CoppingerReal or otherwise: Mikhailovich will certainly dismiss AlimkhanulyJanibek Alimkhanuly, left, puts his IBF middleweight world headline vulnerable against Andrei Mikhailovich on Friday in Australia. Mikey Williams/Top RankReal: Mikhailovich, of New Zealand, is entering the ring in Australia along with a strong feeling of accountability. He is actually an aggressive and fearless boxer that appears all set to let loose after traveling to the USA months ago to combat, only to find that Alimkhanuly neglected to create body weight and also the battle was postponed.Mikhailovich is actually a highly effective puncher, as well as punchers are willing to take on to land their strikes, so I anticipate him to carry out just that. On the other hand, a number of Alimkhanuly's previous rivals have entered into the band with self-doubt, influenced by the buzz surrounding the champ. This time Alimkhanuly finds themself outside his convenience region, dealing with an established, willing challenger. Although this is Mikhailovich's 1st battle against an unparalleled enemy, the risks are actually high and also he has everything to obtain. The inquiry is actually, can he prevent obtaining knocked out early? Or even can he hurt the champion early to acquire respect?I believe Mikhailovich's ruthless style could impose on Alimkhanuly's counterpunching style, particularly since Alimkhanuly has simply gone the comprehensive 12 arounds the moment in his profession. For Mikhailovich, surviving the early rounds as well as taking the fight deep will certainly be actually essential. Alimkhanuly's capability to adapt and stand up to Mikhailovich's aggression and punching energy is going to be actually exciting to watch.-- BradleyReal or not: Joshua will definitely certainly not take the rematch along with Dubois nextDaniel Dubois, right, tore down Anthony Joshua four times during his fifth-round KO success to shield the IBF abundant globe label.

Joshua, boxing's biggest income earner responsible for Canelo, has actually gone from closing know a massive, beneficial face-off along with the champion of the Dec. 21 Usyk vs. Rage match, to combating to maintain his title applicable at punching's top table. To put themself back right into severe combat for a megafight in 2025, Joshua requires to regain some credibility after last month's five-round KO defeat to Dubois, as well as the only method he may do that is with an immediate rematch.Though his marketer, Matchroom, could certainly not agree, Joshua will not mind taking the slim side of a package that will certainly find him face Dubois in a follow up, this time in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, possibly on Feb. 22, given that it delivers him the quickest route back. The champion of the Dubois vs. Joshua rematch would certainly progress to encounter the winner of Usyk vs. Frenzy 2 in summer season 2025, potentially back at London's Wembley Stadium, the scene of Joshua's humiliating 4 knockdowns against Dubois facing a UK-record 96,000 fans 2 full weeks earlier. That match might be for all 4 major heavyweight planet titles.Two-time champ Joshua (28-4, 25 KOs), that turns 35 this month, has actually currently dismissed suggestions coming from former fighters including Barry McGuigan that he should resign, amid uncertainties in order to whether he is actually losing protection to energy punches.Dubois (22-2, 21 KOs), 27, is likewise up for a rematch as well as will certainly elaborate his odds versus his drunk English rival. And also this moment he would certainly be spent more.It was actually a disorderly, engaging as well as awesome fight the very first time around, which would certainly swell pay-per-view purchases for a rematch. However due to the fact that Dubois vs. Joshua 2 demands to occur in the winter and also the U.K. merely has one stadium with a roofing system (Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales, which possesses a capacity of 74,500), it will be actually a surprise to see this match property at a U.K. venue.Turki Alalshikh, the most effective have a place in punching that manages schedules that occur on Saudi Arabia-backed boxing events, will be actually eager for such a big match-- one of the greatest boxing can deliver upcoming year-- taking place in Saudi Arabia.Matchroom promoter Eddie Hearn, that resources Joshua's profession, states Joshua has actually acknowledged terms, while Frank Warren, Dubois' marketer, states Dubois is going to fight again in February. Warren has actually additionally revealed his fervency for a prompt rematch, so anticipate it to occur.-- ParkinsonReal or otherwise: Sphere will definitely protect his WBA featherweight title against RiosNick Sphere, left behind, gained the WBA featherweight label by beating Raymond Ford in June. Richard Pelham/Getty ImagesReal. Reception has actually been actually hungry, alert as well as hectic in stepping approximately elite level over the in 2015, also in battles where he didn't possess his palm increased. The Liverpool-based 5-foot-2 boxer performs not appear to become worried about by an elevation negative aspect in world label battles and also was unfortunate to be denied triumph in a crack draw versus Rey Vargas, the WBC featherweight holder, in March. What was actually a lot more outstanding was actually Sphere's split selection win over Raymond Ford, who was earlier unbeaten, for the WBA waistband, back in June in Riyadh.Rios (34-4, 17 KOs), 34, has certainly not been as energetic or even in the exact same type as Sphere, that will have plenty of fire for his first world headline defense in front of his home city enthusiasts. Sphere (20-0-1, 11 KOs), 27, need to beware, as Rios registered a remarkable fifth-round KO of Nicolas Polanco in April, yet that was actually the Californian's first trip in practically 2 years. Vargas also outpointed Rios in 2017, and also Murodjon Akhmadaliev ceased Rios in the last around for the WBA and also IBF junior featherweight world titles in June 2022.
