Cris Esqueda/Golden Boy/Getty ImagesNot real. If everything, the lawsuit could lead the way for a settlement that features a deal for a rematch. The gain stint between Garcia and Haney is actually merely very significant to pass up, for both the boxers and the sport.There's the great conflict observing Garcia's good exam and subsequential one-year restriction. Haney declares the PEDs brought about Garcia's astonishing functionality, together with the simple fact Garcia was actually 3.2 extra pounds overweight. Both transgressions are actually vital to the lawsuit.Haney was as high as a 9-1 favorite but was actually floored three attend a distressed reduction that was eventually overturned to a no contest. The fight was actually electrifying, and also the second struggle stands up to be a box office bonanza.After all of, the prevailing idea heading in to the April competition was that Haney will control. Garcia's behavior in the accumulation of the battle was actually so careless that there was legit dread the match definitely would not occur at all.Now, with all the poor blood stream between the competitors alongside Garcia's growing star energy and also his functionality versus Haney (advantages regardless of), there would be tremendous interest in a rematch. The claim merely includes in the drama as well as might be the actual thing that helps bridge the problems to create the rematch take place.-- CoppingerReal or otherwise: If Bivol defeats Beterbiev, he'll be actually the favorite to fight Alvarez in MayLight heavyweight champ Dmitry Bivol, left, reduced Canelo Alvarez through consentaneous decision in 2022. Etienne Laurent/EPA-EFEReal. Canelo told ESPN last month that he was actually targeting a rematch should Bivol gain next full week. And also why not? Canelo was a significant favorite versus his previous four challengers and also has been actually commonly slammed for his amount of competition.Against Bivol, Canelo will be actually a chosen underdog. Bivol directed Alvarez when they fulfilled in May 2022, despite the slender scorecards. Bivol is not merely much bigger yet managed to utilize his footwork and also elite boxing capability to bewilder as well as punish Alvarez.Editor's Picks2 RelatedCanelo has sustained during that he's a far better fighter than Bivol which his operatively repaired hand will certainly assist him verify it in a rematch. This would also be actually a tradition fight. Canelo would have the odds to not simply become indisputable champ at a 2nd body weight lesson, but also avenge the second reduction of his occupation (the other loss protested Floyd Mayweather in 2013). What continues to be to become seen: Bivol's willingness to battle Canelo once again. When the rematch was covered during the course of the summer months of 2023, Bivol was unyielding that the battle must take place at 168 extra pounds for Canelo's undisputed championship. Alvarez pointed out the fight required to occur at 175. Whatever weight they pick, this match is actually easily the greatest option for Canelo if he's not mosting likely to encounter either David Benavidez or even Terence Crawford. Yet Bivol first possesses an incredible obstacle to experience versus Beterbiev.-- CoppingerReal or otherwise: Mikhailovich is going to depose AlimkhanulyJanibek Alimkhanuly, left, places his IBF middleweight world label on the line versus Andrei Mikhailovich on Friday in Australia.

He's a threatening and also courageous fighter who seems ready to let loose after taking a trip to the USA months ago to overcome, just to find out that Alimkhanuly failed to create body weight and the match was postponed.Mikhailovich is a powerful puncher, as well as punchers are willing to take on to land their strikes, so I expect him to carry out simply that. On the other hand, most of Alimkhanuly's previous challengers have gotten into the ring with self-doubt, affected by the hype surrounding the champion. This time Alimkhanuly finds himself outside his comfort area, encountering a calculated, willing challenger. Although this is Mikhailovich's initial match against a world-class rival, the stakes are high as well as he possesses whatever to gain. The concern is actually, can he avoid acquiring knocked senseless early? Or may he harm the champion early to acquire respect?I believe Mikhailovich's unrelenting type could possibly impose on Alimkhanuly's counterpunching type, especially considering that Alimkhanuly has actually only gone the complete 12 spheres when in his profession. For Mikhailovich, surviving the early rounds and also taking the fight deep is going to be actually vital. Alimkhanuly's capacity to conform as well as withstand Mikhailovich's aggressiveness as well as punching power will be exciting to check out.-- BradleyReal or not: Joshua will certainly not get the rematch along with Dubois nextDaniel Dubois, right, brought down Anthony Joshua 4 opportunities during his fifth-round KO success to shield the IBF heavyweight globe title.

The victor of the Dubois vs. Joshua rematch would certainly advance to face the winner of Usyk vs. Fierceness 2 in summertime 2025, potentially back at Greater london's Wembley Arena, the scene of Joshua's humiliating 4 presentations versus Dubois before a UK-record 96,000 fans two full weeks back.

And this moment he will be actually paid for more.It was a chaotic, engaging as well as awesome fight the first time around, which would swell pay-per-view purchases for a rematch. However since Dubois vs. Joshua 2 necessities to happen in the wintertime as well as the U.K. merely has one coliseum along with a roofing (Principality Coliseum in Cardiff, Wales, which has an ability of 74,500), it would certainly be a surprise to observe this match land at a U.K. venue.Turki Alalshikh, one of the most strong have a place in punching who manages lineups that happen on Saudi Arabia-backed boxing occasions, will be actually keen for such a huge battle-- one of the greatest boxing can provide next year-- happening in Saudi Arabia.Matchroom marketer Eddie Hearn, that guides Joshua's profession, mentions Joshua has actually already agreed terms, while Frank Warren, Dubois' promoter, states Dubois will definitely deal with once again in February.

Richard Pelham/Getty ImagesReal. Ball has been starving, sharp and also hectic symphonious around best level over the last year, even in matches where he really did not possess his hand raised. The Liverpool-based 5-foot-2 fighter does certainly not seem to be to be bothered through a height downside in globe label fights and also was actually unfavorable to be rejected success in a crack draw versus Rey Vargas, the WBC featherweight titleholder, in March. What was more impressive was Sphere's split decision gain Raymond Ford, that was formerly undefeated, 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 Round, that will certainly teem with fire for his initial world title protection facing his home urban area enthusiasts. Sphere (20-0-1, 11 KOs), 27, must take care, as Rios registered an exceptional fifth-round KO of Nicolas Polanco in April, but that was the Californian's initial getaway in almost 2 years. Vargas likewise outpointed Rios in 2017, and also Murodjon Akhmadaliev stopped Rios in the final around for the WBA and also IBF junior light globe titles in June 2022.
