Cris Esqueda/Golden Boy/Getty ImagesNot real. If anything, the legal action could possibly pave the way for a negotiation that features a package for a rematch. The return bout in between Garcia and also Haney is simply too large to miss, for both the fighters as well as the sport.There's the great conflict following Garcia's positive examination and subsequential one-year restriction. Haney claims the PEDs triggered Garcia's shocking efficiency, alongside the reality Garcia was 3.2 pounds overweight. Each violations are actually essential to the lawsuit.Haney was actually as long as a 9-1 preferred but was knocked down three times in a dismayed reduction that was eventually reversed to a no contest. The battle was actually electrifying, as well as the 2nd struggle stands up to become a box office bonanza.After all of, the dominating thought and feelings heading right into the April competition was that Haney would certainly dominate. Garcia's habits in the build-up of the match was so reckless that there was legitimate fear the battle definitely would not happen at all.Now, along with all the poor blood stream in between the competitors along with Garcia's growing star energy and also his efficiency versus Haney (benefits nevertheless), there would be astounding rate of interest in a rematch. The lawsuit simply includes in the dramatization and also can be the very thing that helps link the concerns to create the rematch happen.-- CoppingerReal or otherwise: If Bivol defeats Beterbiev, he'll be actually the favored to overcome Alvarez in MayLight big-time champion Dmitry Bivol, left behind, defeated Canelo Alvarez through consensual decision in 2022. Etienne Laurent/EPA-EFEReal. Canelo informed ESPN last month that he was actually targeting a rematch must Bivol gain following full week. And why certainly not? Canelo was a major preference versus his past four enemies and has actually been widely slammed for his level of competition.Against Bivol, Canelo would be a chosen longshot. Bivol transmitted Alvarez when they fulfilled in May 2022, in spite of the narrow scorecards. Bivol is actually certainly not just larger but had the capacity to use his footwork and also best boxing capability to bewilder and reprimand Alvarez.Editor's Picks2 RelatedCanelo has actually maintained all along that he's a much better competitor than Bivol which his operatively fixed palm will definitely assist him prove it in a rematch. This would certainly likewise be actually a legacy match. Canelo would have the odds to certainly not merely come to be indisputable champ at a 2nd weight class, but likewise retaliate the 2nd loss of his profession (the various other defeat protested Floyd Mayweather in 2013). What stays to become found: Bivol's readiness to deal with Canelo again. When the rematch was explained in the course of the summer season of 2023, Bivol was staunch that the struggle should take place at 168 extra pounds for Canelo's recognized champion. Alvarez said the fight required to occur at 175. Whatever body weight they decide on, this fight is actually easily the greatest alternative for Canelo if he's certainly not visiting face either David Benavidez or Terence Crawford. Yet Bivol initially possesses an incredible problem to deal with against Beterbiev.-- CoppingerReal or not: Mikhailovich is going to displace AlimkhanulyJanibek Alimkhanuly, left behind, places his IBF middleweight world label on the line versus Andrei Mikhailovich on Friday in Australia. Mikey Williams/Top RankReal: Mikhailovich, of New Zealand, is actually stepping into the ring in Australia along with a fierce sense of task. He is actually a hostile and also fearless fighter who seems prepared to unleash after taking a trip to the U.S. months ago to fight, just to uncover that Alimkhanuly fallen short to create weight and also the fight was postponed.Mikhailovich is a strong puncher, and punchers are willing to take on to land their strikes, so I expect him to accomplish merely that. In contrast, many of Alimkhanuly's previous opponents have actually entered into the ring along with insecurity, determined by the hype encompassing the champion. This time Alimkhanuly finds himself outside his convenience area, encountering a found out, prepared opposition. Although this is Mikhailovich's initial match against a world-class challenger, the concerns are high as well as he has everything to gain. The inquiry is, can he stay clear of getting knocked senseless early? Or can easily he harm the champion early to gain respect?I presume Mikhailovich's ruthless style might trouble Alimkhanuly's counterpunching style, specifically considering that Alimkhanuly has actually merely gone the complete 12 spheres when in his occupation. For Mikhailovich, enduring the early rounds and also taking the battle deep is going to be actually crucial. Alimkhanuly's ability to conform and tolerate Mikhailovich's aggression and drilling power will definitely be actually fun to watch.-- BradleyReal or otherwise: Joshua will definitely certainly not get the rematch along with Dubois nextDaniel Dubois, straight, knocked down Anthony Joshua 4 times during his fifth-round KO triumph to defend the IBF heavyweight globe label.

The victor of the Dubois vs. Joshua rematch would certainly proceed to encounter the winner of Usyk vs. Fierceness 2 in summer months 2025, probably back at London's Wembley Stadium, the performance of Joshua's humiliating 4 presentations versus Dubois facing a UK-record 96,000 supporters pair of full weeks ago. That fight might be for all 4 major heavyweight world titles.Two-time champ Joshua (28-4, 25 KOs), that switches 35 this month, has actually already put away ideas from past pugilists including Barry McGuigan that he should resign, amidst questions as to whether he is actually dropping resistance to electrical power punches.Dubois (22-2, 21 KOs), 27, is also up for a rematch as well as will definitely lavish his possibilities versus his shaken English rival. And this time around he would be paid out more.It was a turbulent, engaging and electrifying match the first time around, which will swell pay-per-view purchases for a rematch. However due to the fact that Dubois vs. Joshua 2 requirements to occur in the winter season and the U.K. merely has one coliseum along with a roof (Principality Arena in Cardiff, Wales, which has an ability of 74,500), it will be a shock to find this fight property at a U.K. venue.Turki Alalshikh, the absolute most strong figure in boxing who regulates lineups that happen on Saudi Arabia-backed boxing activities, will certainly be keen for such a big match-- among the most significant boxing can use next year-- occurring in Saudi Arabia.Matchroom promoter Eddie Hearn, who manuals Joshua's job, says Joshua has actually presently acknowledged terms, while Frank Warren, Dubois' marketer, points out Dubois will definitely deal with again in February. Warren has likewise revealed his gusto for a prompt rematch, thus anticipate it to take place.-- ParkinsonReal or otherwise: Sphere is going to safeguard his WBA featherweight label versus RiosNick Round, left behind, gained the WBA featherweight headline through beating Raymond Ford in June. Richard Pelham/Getty ImagesReal. Ball has actually been hungry, sharp as well as active symphonious as much as best level over the last year, even in fights where he didn't possess his palm increased. The Liverpool-based 5-foot-2 fighter does certainly not appear to be bothered through a height drawback in planet headline fights and also was unlucky to become refused success in a crack draw versus Rey Vargas, the WBC featherweight holder, in March. What was actually extra remarkable was Round's split choice get Raymond Ford, that was recently unbeaten, for the WBA waistband, back in June in Riyadh.Rios (34-4, 17 KOs), 34, has actually not been actually as active or even in the very same form as Round, who will definitely contain fire for his first globe label defense before his home metropolitan area followers. Sphere (20-0-1, 11 KOs), 27, have to take care, as Rios signed up an impressive fifth-round KO of Nicolas Polanco in April, yet that was the Californian's first getaway in just about two years. Vargas likewise outpointed Rios in 2017, and Murodjon Akhmadaliev quit Rios in the last around for the WBA and IBF junior featherweight globe titles in June 2022.
