Cris Esqueda/Golden Boy/Getty ImagesNot real. If just about anything, the lawsuit could lead the way for a resolution that features a package for a rematch. The return round in between Garcia and Haney is just too major to avoid, for both the competitors and the sport.There's the tremendous conflict observing Garcia's good exam and subsequent 1 year restriction. Haney professes the PEDs resulted in Garcia's shocking efficiency, in addition to the truth Garcia was 3.2 extra pounds obese. Each violations are essential to the lawsuit.Haney was actually as much as a 9-1 preferred but was knocked down 3 times in an upset loss that was later on rescinded to a no competition. The battle was electrifying, and also the 2nd battle stands to become a ticket office bonanza.After all, the dominating thought moving in to the April matchup was that Haney would dominate. Garcia's habits in the build-up of the fight was thus careless that there was actually genuine fear the match wouldn't happen at all.Now, along with all the negative blood in between the competitors together with Garcia's growing celebrity energy as well as his functionality against Haney (benefits in spite of), there would be actually huge rate of interest in a rematch. The legal action merely contributes to the drama as well as may be the very trait that aids bridge the concerns to create the rematch happen.-- CoppingerReal or otherwise: If Bivol reduces Beterbiev, he'll be the preferred to eliminate Alvarez in MayLight heavyweight champ Dmitry Bivol, left, reduced Canelo Alvarez through consentaneous selection in 2022. Etienne Laurent/EPA-EFEReal. Canelo informed ESPN final month that he was targeting a rematch must Bivol succeed next full week. And why not? Canelo was actually a major favorite against his past four opponents and has been actually widely slammed for his level of competition.Against Bivol, Canelo will be actually a decided underdog. Bivol routed Alvarez when they met in May 2022, even with the narrow directories. Bivol is actually certainly not only greater yet managed to use his maneuvering as well as elite punching capacity to baffle and reprimand Alvarez.Editor's Picks2 RelatedCanelo has actually preserved the whole time that he's a much better fighter than Bivol and also his operatively mended hand will definitely assist him prove it in a rematch. This would additionally be a legacy fight. Canelo will have the odds to certainly not only become undisputed champ at a second body weight lesson, however also retaliate the second loss of his career (the various other defeat was against Floyd Mayweather in 2013). What remains to be observed: Bivol's readiness to fight Canelo again. When the rematch was actually discussed in the course of the summertime of 2023, Bivol was enduring that the fight must take place at 168 extra pounds for Canelo's recognized champion. Alvarez pointed out the fight needed to occur at 175. Whatever body weight they pick, this match is actually easily the greatest possibility for Canelo if he is actually certainly not heading to encounter either David Benavidez or even Terence Crawford. However Bivol first has an enormous challenge to encounter against Beterbiev.-- CoppingerReal or otherwise: Mikhailovich is going to dismiss AlimkhanulyJanibek Alimkhanuly, left, places his IBF middleweight world label 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 brutal feeling of obligation. He is actually a hostile and also fearless boxer that appears prepared to unleash after traveling to the U.S. months ago to combat, just to discover that Alimkhanuly stopped working to create weight and also the fight was postponed.Mikhailovich is a powerful puncher, and also punchers want to take on to land their strikes, so I anticipate him to accomplish simply that. In contrast, a lot of Alimkhanuly's previous challengers have actually entered into the ring along with insecurity, influenced due to the hype neighboring the champion. This time around Alimkhanuly locates himself outside his comfort zone, experiencing a calculated, prepared challenger. Although this is actually Mikhailovich's 1st battle against an unparalleled opponent, the risks are actually high as well as he possesses every little thing to obtain. The concern is, can he prevent obtaining knocked senseless early? Or can he hurt the champ early to acquire respect?I believe Mikhailovich's ruthless design could impose on Alimkhanuly's counterpunching type, especially due to the fact that Alimkhanuly has actually simply gone the comprehensive 12 rounds once in his career. For Mikhailovich, surviving the early rounds as well as taking the match deep will certainly be essential. Alimkhanuly's capability to adjust and also hold up against Mikhailovich's aggressiveness as well as drilling power is going to be actually exciting to view.-- BradleyReal or otherwise: Joshua will certainly not get the rematch along with Dubois nextDaniel Dubois, straight, brought down Anthony Joshua four times in the course of his fifth-round KO triumph to protect the IBF heavyweight world label.

To place themself back right into significant contention for a megafight in 2025, Joshua needs to have to recover some reliability after last month's five-round KO defeat to Dubois, and the only means he can possibly do that is along with an immediate rematch.Though his marketer, Matchroom, might not concede, Joshua will not mind taking the skinny edge of a package that will definitely view him deal with Dubois in a part two, this moment in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, possibly on Feb. 22, since it uses him the quickest option back. The champion of the Dubois vs. Joshua rematch will proceed to experience the winner of Usyk vs. Rabidity 2 in summer season 2025, perhaps back at London's Wembley Stadium, the scene of Joshua's humiliating 4 knockdowns against Dubois in front of a UK-record 96,000 fans pair of weeks earlier.

And also this time he will be spent more.It was a disorderly, amusing and thrilling match the first time around, which would swell pay-per-view sales for a rematch. Yet since Dubois vs. Joshua 2 necessities to occur in the winter and the U.K. only has one arena with a roof covering (Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales, which possesses an ability of 74,500), it would be an unpleasant surprise to view this match land at a U.K. venue.Turki Alalshikh, the absolute most highly effective have a place in boxing who handles schedules that occur on Saudi Arabia-backed punching occasions, are going to be actually interested for such a sizable match-- one of the most significant punching may deliver following year-- occurring in Saudi Arabia.Matchroom promoter Eddie Hearn, that overviews Joshua's profession, says Joshua has already acknowledged terms, while Frank Warren, Dubois' promoter, states Dubois is going to battle once more in February.

Richard Pelham/Getty ImagesReal. Ball has been actually starving, alert and busy symphonious around elite level over the in 2014, even in matches where he failed to possess his palm elevated. The Liverpool-based 5-foot-2 fighter carries out not seem to be bothered by a height drawback in world label fights and also was regrettable to become rejected success in a split draw against Rey Vargas, the WBC featherweight titleholder, in March. What was actually more remarkable was actually Round's crack decision win over Raymond Ford, who was actually recently unbeaten, for the WBA belt, back in June in Riyadh.Rios (34-4, 17 KOs), 34, has actually not been as energetic or even in the exact same form as Round, that will definitely has plenty of fire for his initial world title defense in front of his home urban area enthusiasts. Sphere (20-0-1, 11 KOs), 27, should beware, as Rios signed up an outstanding fifth-round KO of Nicolas Polanco in April, but that was actually the Californian's very first outing in virtually pair of years. Vargas likewise outpointed Rios in 2017, and Murodjon Akhmadaliev ceased Rios in the final sphere for the WBA as well as IBF junior light world headlines in June 2022.
