Cris Esqueda/Golden Boy/Getty ImagesNot real. If everything, the suit could break the ice for a resolution that includes a package for a rematch. The return round in between Garcia and Haney is just very big to pass up, for both the boxers and the sport.There's the tremendous dispute adhering to Garcia's positive test and subsequential 1 year restriction. Haney professes the PEDs led to Garcia's shocking efficiency, in addition to the fact Garcia was 3.2 extra pounds overweight. Each violations are actually key to the lawsuit.Haney was as high as a 9-1 preferred but was knocked down 3 times in a dismayed reduction that was later overturned to a no contest. The fight was electrifying, as well as the 2nd match stands to be a ticket office bonanza.After all, the dominating idea moving into the April competition was actually that Haney would control. Garcia's behavior in the buildup of the fight was so negligent that there was actually legitimate dread the bout would not happen at all.Now, with all the bad blood in between the boxers together with Garcia's growing celebrity energy and also his efficiency against Haney (conveniences in spite of), there would be tremendous rate of interest in a rematch. The suit merely adds to the drama and also can be the exact point that assists unite the problems to create the rematch take place.-- CoppingerReal or otherwise: If Bivol defeats Beterbiev, he'll be the preferred to combat Alvarez in MayLight heavyweight champ Dmitry Bivol, left behind, defeated Canelo Alvarez by consentaneous selection in 2022. Etienne Laurent/EPA-EFEReal. Canelo said to ESPN last month that he was actually targeting a rematch ought to Bivol win following week. As well as why not? Canelo was actually a significant preference versus his previous four enemies and has actually been actually extensively slammed for his degree of competition.Against Bivol, Canelo would be actually a decided underdog. Bivol routed Alvarez when they complied with in May 2022, in spite of the narrow directories. Bivol is certainly not only greater but had the capacity to utilize his footwork and elite punching capacity to befuddle as well as penalize Alvarez.Editor's Picks2 RelatedCanelo has preserved during that he is actually a much better competitor than Bivol and that his surgically restored hand is going to aid him confirm it in a rematch. This would certainly additionally be actually a heritage match. Canelo will possess the odds to not merely come to be uncontested champion at a second weight class, yet likewise vindicate the 2nd reduction of his occupation (the various other loss was against Floyd Mayweather in 2013). What remains to become observed: Bivol's readiness to fight Canelo again. When the rematch was reviewed in the course of the summer of 2023, Bivol was actually steadfast that the match needs to happen at 168 pounds for Canelo's undisputed champion. Alvarez said the match needed to have to happen at 175. Whatever weight they pick, this match is actually by far the most ideal possibility for Canelo if he is actually certainly not heading to experience either David Benavidez or Terence Crawford. But Bivol to begin with has a significant problem to deal with against Beterbiev.-- CoppingerReal or otherwise: Mikhailovich will certainly depose AlimkhanulyJanibek Alimkhanuly, left, places his IBF middleweight globe label on the line against Andrei Mikhailovich on Friday in Australia. Mikey Williams/Top RankReal: Mikhailovich, of New Zealand, is stepping into the ring in Australia along with an intense feeling of obligation. He is actually a threatening and brave fighter that appears ready to let loose after traveling to the united state months ago to fight, only to find out that Alimkhanuly neglected to create weight and the match was actually postponed.Mikhailovich is a strong puncher, and also punchers agree to engage to land their strikes, so I expect him to do simply that. In contrast, a lot of Alimkhanuly's previous rivals have entered the ring along with insecurity, affected by the hype encompassing the champ. This time around Alimkhanuly discovers themself outside his convenience area, experiencing an identified, willing opposition. Although this is actually Mikhailovich's very first fight against an unparalleled enemy, the concerns are actually high as well as he has every little thing to get. The question is actually, can he steer clear of receiving knocked senseless early? Or even may he injure the champ early to obtain respect?I assume Mikhailovich's ruthless design might trouble Alimkhanuly's counterpunching style, particularly due to the fact that Alimkhanuly has actually only gone the total 12 spheres once in his job. For Mikhailovich, enduring the very early rounds and also taking the fight deep will definitely be crucial. Alimkhanuly's capacity to adjust and also stand up to Mikhailovich's hostility as well as drilling power is going to be enjoyable to view.-- BradleyReal or not: Joshua will not get the rematch along with Dubois nextDaniel Dubois, straight, tore down Anthony Joshua four times throughout his fifth-round KO victory to safeguard the IBF heavyweight globe label. Richard Pelham/Getty ImagesNot real. Joshua, punching's most significant wage earner behind Canelo, has actually gone from closing with it a significant, highly profitable showdown with the winner of the Dec. 21 Usyk vs. Rabidity match, to fighting to keep his label pertinent at punching's top table. To place themself back in to major combat for a megafight in 2025, Joshua requires to regain some credibility after final month's five-round KO defeat to Dubois, as well as the only means he can do that is actually along with a prompt rematch.Though his marketer, Matchroom, might certainly not concur, Joshua won't mind taking the thin edge of an offer that will view him deal with Dubois in a part two, this time in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, potentially on Feb. 22, considering that it uses him the quickest route back. The winner of the Dubois vs. Joshua rematch would certainly progress to face the winner of Usyk vs. Rabidity 2 in summer season 2025, potentially back at London's Wembley Arena, the performance of Joshua's humiliating four knockdowns versus Dubois in front of a UK-record 96,000 fans 2 weeks earlier. That battle may be for all 4 major heavyweight world titles.Two-time champion Joshua (28-4, 25 KOs), that turns 35 this month, has actually currently dismissed pointers from past boxers such as Barry McGuigan that he should resign, amid uncertainties concerning whether he is actually dropping protection to electrical power punches.Dubois (22-2, 21 KOs), 27, is additionally up for a rematch as well as will certainly expensive his possibilities against his trembled English rival. And this moment he will be actually paid out more.It was a disorderly, engaging and electrifying match the first time around, which will swell pay-per-view sales for a rematch. However given that Dubois vs. Joshua 2 demands to happen in the winter months and also the U.K. just possesses one arena along with a rooftop (Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales, which has a capacity of 74,500), it would certainly be actually an unpleasant surprise to see this fight property at a U.K. venue.Turki Alalshikh, the absolute most strong figure in boxing that manages schedules that occur on Saudi Arabia-backed boxing activities, will definitely be actually eager for such a big match-- one of the greatest boxing can provide upcoming year-- happening in Saudi Arabia.Matchroom promoter Eddie Hearn, that quick guides Joshua's job, says Joshua has already conceded conditions, while Frank Warren, Dubois' marketer, claims Dubois will definitely fight again in February. Warren has also shown his gusto for a prompt rematch, therefore expect it to occur.-- ParkinsonReal or not: Ball will certainly safeguard his WBA featherweight title versus RiosNick Ball, left, gained the WBA featherweight headline through defeating Raymond Ford in June. Richard Pelham/Getty ImagesReal. Reception has been starving, sharp and also busy in stepping approximately best amount over the in 2014, also in fights where he really did not have his hand elevated. The Liverpool-based 5-foot-2 fighter does not appear to be bothered by a height downside in planet headline battles as well as was actually regrettable to become rejected triumph in a split draw versus Rey Vargas, the WBC featherweight holder, in March. What was actually even more exceptional was actually Round's split choice gain Raymond Ford, that was recently undefeated, for the WBA waistband, back in June in Riyadh.Rios (34-4, 17 KOs), 34, has actually certainly not been actually as energetic or even in the same form as Sphere, that are going to have plenty of fire for his initial world label self defense in front of his home metropolitan area followers. Sphere (20-0-1, 11 KOs), 27, should take care, as Rios signed up an exceptional fifth-round KO of Nicolas Polanco in April, but that was actually the Californian's very first getaway in nearly 2 years. Vargas likewise outpointed Rios in 2017, as well as Murodjon Akhmadaliev ceased Rios in the final around for the WBA as well as IBF junior light globe titles in June 2022. Ball's energy as well as desire will certainly observe him safeguard his WBA waistband along with a decision victory.-- Parkinson.
