Cris Esqueda/Golden Boy/Getty ImagesNot real. If anything, the legal action could possibly pave the way for a negotiation that consists of a bargain for a rematch. The yield round in between Garcia and Haney is merely too huge to miss, for both the fighters and the sport.There's the immense debate adhering to Garcia's good test and subsequential 1 year ban. Haney claims the PEDs brought about Garcia's surprising functionality, along with the truth Garcia was actually 3.2 pounds over weight. Both transgressions are key to the lawsuit.Haney was as high as a 9-1 favored yet was floored three times in a distressed loss that was later on reversed to a no contest. The match was thrilling, as well as the 2nd bout stands up to be a ticket office bonanza.After all of, the dominating thought and feelings moving in to the April match was that Haney will dominate. Garcia's habits in the build-up of the match was actually thus reckless that there was genuine worry the match wouldn't occur at all.Now, with all the bad blood in between the competitors alongside Garcia's expanding celebrity energy and also his functionality versus Haney (perks nevertheless), there will be enormous interest in a rematch.

Etienne Laurent/EPA-EFEReal. Canelo informed ESPN final month that he was actually targeting a rematch needs to Bivol succeed next full week. And also why not? Canelo was a primary preference against his past 4 challengers as well as has been commonly slammed for his level of competition.Against Bivol, Canelo will be actually a decided underdog. Bivol routed Alvarez when they met in May 2022, in spite of the slim directories. Bivol is actually certainly not only greater however had the capacity to utilize his footwork as well as best boxing ability to befuddle as well as discipline Alvarez.Editor's Picks2 RelatedCanelo has actually sustained all along that he's a much better boxer than Bivol which his surgically repaired hand will certainly help him show it in a rematch. This would likewise be a legacy fight. Canelo would certainly possess the odds to certainly not just come to be undeniable champion at a 2nd weight class, but additionally retaliate the 2nd reduction of his career (the various other loss protested Floyd Mayweather in 2013). What continues to be to become seen: Bivol's willingness to battle Canelo again. When the rematch was gone over during the summer season of 2023, Bivol was actually unyielding that the struggle needs to occur at 168 extra pounds for Canelo's unquestioned champion. Alvarez stated the fight required to happen at 175. Whatever body weight they decide on, this fight is actually by far the most ideal option for Canelo if he's certainly not mosting likely to face either David Benavidez or Terence Crawford. But Bivol initially has a remarkable obstacle to experience against Beterbiev.-- CoppingerReal or not: Mikhailovich is going to dethrone AlimkhanulyJanibek Alimkhanuly, left, puts his IBF middleweight world label vulnerable versus Andrei Mikhailovich on Friday in Australia. Mikey Williams/Top RankReal: Mikhailovich, of New Zealand, is actually entering the ring in Australia with a ferocious sense of task. He's a threatening and also brave fighter who appears prepared to discharge after traveling to the united state months ago to overcome, merely to discover that Alimkhanuly failed to make weight as well as the match was actually postponed.Mikhailovich is a powerful puncher, as well as punchers are willing to engage to land their strikes, so I anticipate him to carry out simply that. On the other hand, most of Alimkhanuly's previous challengers have actually entered into the band along with self-doubt, affected due to the hype surrounding the champion. This time around Alimkhanuly finds himself outside his convenience region, dealing with a calculated, willing opposition. Although this is actually Mikhailovich's 1st match against a first-rate enemy, the stakes are high and also he possesses every thing to get. The inquiry is, can he avoid receiving knocked senseless early? Or even can easily he hurt the champ early to gain respect?I assume Mikhailovich's ruthless design can impose on Alimkhanuly's counterpunching style, especially since Alimkhanuly has actually merely gone the full 12 arounds when in his job. For Mikhailovich, surviving the very early arounds and taking the match deep will certainly be actually vital. Alimkhanuly's potential to conform and stand up to Mikhailovich's aggression as well as punching energy will certainly be enjoyable to enjoy.-- BradleyReal or otherwise: Joshua will certainly certainly not get the rematch along with Dubois nextDaniel Dubois, straight, knocked down Anthony Joshua four opportunities during the course of his fifth-round KO success to fight for the IBF abundant world headline.

Joshua, punching's largest earner behind Canelo, has gone coming from closing know a substantial, rewarding showdown with the victor of the Dec. 21 Usyk vs. Rage match, to fighting to keep his label applicable at punching's best desk. To place themself back into severe combat for a megafight in 2025, Joshua needs to reclaim some reputation after final month's five-round KO loss to Dubois, as well as the only technique he may do that is with a quick rematch.Though his marketer, Matchroom, could not concede, Joshua will not mind taking the skinny side of a package that will observe him deal with Dubois in a follow up, this time in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, likely on Feb. 22, given that it delivers him the quickest option back. The champion of the Dubois vs. Joshua rematch would certainly proceed to experience the victor of Usyk vs. Rage 2 in summer 2025, perhaps back at London's Wembley Stadium, the scene of Joshua's embarrassing 4 knockdowns against Dubois before a UK-record 96,000 fans 2 full weeks earlier. That battle can be for all 4 significant heavyweight world titles.Two-time champion Joshua (28-4, 25 KOs), that switches 35 this month, has actually put away recommendations coming from past boxers like Barry McGuigan that he must retire, amidst hesitations concerning whether he is shedding protection to electrical power punches.Dubois (22-2, 21 KOs), 27, is additionally up for a rematch and also will definitely lavish his chances versus his drunk English rival. As well as this moment he would be actually paid for more.It was actually a disorderly, amusing and also thrilling match the first time around, which would certainly swell pay-per-view sales for a rematch. Yet due to the fact that Dubois vs. Joshua 2 requirements to happen in the winter and also the U.K. just has one coliseum with a rooftop (Principality Coliseum in Cardiff, Wales, which possesses a capability of 74,500), it would be a surprise to find this fight land at a U.K. venue.Turki Alalshikh, the best powerful have a place in punching who controls lineups that take place on Saudi Arabia-backed punching events, will definitely be eager for such a huge battle-- among the biggest punching can easily give following year-- happening in Saudi Arabia.Matchroom marketer Eddie Hearn, that overviews Joshua's occupation, mentions Joshua has already concurred conditions, while Frank Warren, Dubois' marketer, mentions Dubois is going to deal with once again in February. Warren has actually likewise shared his fervency for an immediate rematch, thus expect it to occur.-- ParkinsonReal or not: Ball will defend his WBA featherweight label against RiosNick Round, left behind, won the WBA featherweight title through beating Raymond Ford in June. Richard Pelham/Getty ImagesReal. Ball has actually been hungry, sharp as well as occupied in stepping up to best degree over the in 2015, even in matches where he really did not have his hand increased. The Liverpool-based 5-foot-2 fighter performs not seem to be to be worried about by a height drawback in globe headline battles and was unlucky to become denied success in a split draw against Rey Vargas, the WBC featherweight titleholder, in March. What was a lot more exceptional was Sphere's crack choice gain Raymond Ford, that was earlier unbeaten, for the WBA waistband, back in June in Riyadh.Rios (34-4, 17 KOs), 34, has actually not been as energetic or even in the very same kind as Sphere, that will have lots of fire for his very first world title defense in front of his home urban area enthusiasts. Ball (20-0-1, 11 KOs), 27, have to make sure, as Rios enrolled an excellent fifth-round KO of Nicolas Polanco in April, but that was the Californian's very first day trip in nearly 2 years. Vargas also outpointed Rios in 2017, and also Murodjon Akhmadaliev stopped Rios in the final sphere for the WBA and IBF junior lightweight globe labels in June 2022.
