Cris Esqueda/Golden Boy/Getty ImagesNot real. If just about anything, the legal action could possibly break the ice for a resolution that features a package for a rematch. The gain spell in between Garcia and Haney is just very significant to miss, for both the boxers and the sport.There's the huge controversy complying with Garcia's good exam as well as succeeding 1 year restriction. Haney professes the PEDs caused Garcia's astonishing efficiency, in addition to the fact Garcia was actually 3.2 extra pounds overweight. Both offenses are actually vital to the lawsuit.Haney was as high as a 9-1 favorite however was knocked down 3 times in an upset loss that was eventually reversed to a no contest. The match was actually electrifying, and the second match stands up to become a ticket office bonanza.After all, the prevailing thought moving right into the April competition was that Haney would dominate. Garcia's habits in the accumulation of the battle was actually so negligent that there was actually reputable dread the battle wouldn't take place at all.Now, with all the poor blood between the boxers alongside Garcia's growing celebrity power as well as his functionality against Haney (conveniences in spite of), there would be actually tremendous enthusiasm in a rematch. The lawsuit simply adds to the dramatization and can be the exact trait that helps link the issues to make the rematch take place.-- CoppingerReal or otherwise: If Bivol defeats Beterbiev, he'll be actually the favored to combat Alvarez in MayLight big-time champion Dmitry Bivol, left, reduced Canelo Alvarez through unanimous selection in 2022. Etienne Laurent/EPA-EFEReal. Canelo said to ESPN last month that he was targeting a rematch must Bivol win following full week. And also why not? Canelo was a major fave against his previous four challengers as well as has been widely criticized for his level of competition.Against Bivol, Canelo will be a determined longshot. Bivol directed Alvarez when they complied with in May 2022, even with the slim scorecards. Bivol is actually certainly not simply bigger but had the ability to use his maneuvering and also elite boxing ability to bewilder and also discipline Alvarez.Editor's Picks2 RelatedCanelo has actually maintained the whole time that he is actually a much better fighter than Bivol and also his operatively repaired hand will help him show it in a rematch. This will additionally be a heritage match. Canelo will have the opportunity to not simply come to be recognized champion at a second weight lesson, but additionally vindicate the second reduction of his job (the other defeat protested Floyd Mayweather in 2013). What stays to become observed: Bivol's desire to fight Canelo once again. When the rematch was actually explained in the course of the summer season of 2023, Bivol was actually unyielding that the match must occur at 168 pounds for Canelo's undisputed championship. Alvarez stated the fight needed to have to take place at 175. Whatever body weight they settle on, this match is actually without a doubt the greatest alternative for Canelo if he's certainly not going to experience either David Benavidez or even Terence Crawford. Yet Bivol to begin with has a significant problem to experience versus Beterbiev.-- CoppingerReal or not: Mikhailovich will certainly dismiss AlimkhanulyJanibek Alimkhanuly, left, places his IBF middleweight planet title on the line versus Andrei Mikhailovich on Friday in Australia. Mikey Williams/Top RankReal: Mikhailovich, of New Zealand, is stepping into the supplant Australia along with a brutal sense of task. He's a hostile and brave competitor that seems to be prepared to unleash after traveling to the USA months ago to overcome, simply to find out that Alimkhanuly failed to make weight and the fight was postponed.Mikhailovich is an effective puncher, and also punchers want to take on to land their strikes, so I anticipate him to carry out merely that. In contrast, a lot of Alimkhanuly's previous rivals have actually entered the band along with self-doubt, affected due to the hype bordering the champion. This time around Alimkhanuly locates himself outside his convenience region, dealing with a figured out, willing challenger. Although this is Mikhailovich's very first battle versus a world-class challenger, the risks are higher as well as he possesses every thing to gain. The concern is, can he avoid acquiring knocked out early? Or even may he hurt the champion early to obtain respect?I believe Mikhailovich's ruthless design could impose on Alimkhanuly's counterpunching type, particularly since Alimkhanuly has only gone the comprehensive 12 arounds when in his career. For Mikhailovich, enduring the early rounds and taking the match deep will definitely be essential. Alimkhanuly's ability to conform and tolerate Mikhailovich's hostility and drilling power will be enjoyable to view.-- BradleyReal or otherwise: Joshua will not get the rematch along with Dubois nextDaniel Dubois, right, brought down Anthony Joshua four times throughout his fifth-round KO triumph to safeguard the IBF heavyweight globe title. Richard Pelham/Getty ImagesNot real. Joshua, punching's most significant earner behind Canelo, has gone from closing with it a big, profitable face-off with the winner of the Dec. 21 Usyk vs. Fierceness fight, to overcoming to maintain his name relevant at punching's top desk. To place themself back into major altercation for a megafight in 2025, Joshua needs to have to regain some reliability after final month's five-round KO defeat to Dubois, and the only method he can possibly do that is along with a quick rematch.Though his promoter, Matchroom, could certainly not acknowledge, Joshua won't mind taking the thin edge of a bargain that are going to view him encounter Dubois in a part two, this time around in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, possibly on Feb. 22, due to the fact that it offers him the quickest route back. The champion of the Dubois vs. Joshua rematch will progress to experience the victor of Usyk vs. Violence 2 in summer 2025, potentially back at Greater london's Wembley Stadium, the scene of Joshua's embarrassing four knockdowns against Dubois facing a UK-record 96,000 enthusiasts pair of weeks earlier. That fight may be for all four primary heavyweight world titles.Two-time champ Joshua (28-4, 25 KOs), that switches 35 this month, has actually already dismissed pointers coming from past boxers including Barry McGuigan that he must resign, among questions concerning whether he is shedding resistance to electrical power punches.Dubois (22-2, 21 KOs), 27, is additionally up for a rematch and also will definitely elegant his possibilities against his drunk English opponent. And this time he would be actually spent more.It was actually a turbulent, entertaining and also awesome match the first time around, which would swell pay-per-view sales for a rematch. Yet given that Dubois vs. Joshua 2 necessities to happen in the winter and the U.K. merely has one coliseum with a rooftop (Principality Coliseum in Cardiff, Wales, which possesses an ability of 74,500), it will be actually a shock to observe this battle property at a U.K. venue.Turki Alalshikh, one of the most strong have a place in punching that handles lineups that occur on Saudi Arabia-backed boxing occasions, will certainly be eager for such a big battle-- some of the biggest boxing may use following year-- happening in Saudi Arabia.Matchroom promoter Eddie Hearn, that overviews Joshua's occupation, claims Joshua has actually already acknowledged conditions, while Frank Warren, Dubois' marketer, claims Dubois will combat once more in February. Warren has actually additionally expressed his fervency for a prompt rematch, so anticipate it to take place.-- ParkinsonReal or otherwise: Ball is going to defend his WBA featherweight label versus RiosNick Sphere, left behind, gained the WBA featherweight label by defeating Raymond Ford in June. Richard Pelham/Getty ImagesReal. Ball has actually been starving, sharp as well as busy in stepping as much as elite degree over the in 2015, also in battles where he really did not have his palm elevated. The Liverpool-based 5-foot-2 pugilist carries out certainly not seem to be to be worried about through a height downside in world label matches and was unfavorable to become rejected triumph in a split draw against Rey Vargas, the WBC featherweight titleholder, in March. What was actually even more exceptional was Ball's split choice win over Raymond Ford, who was actually formerly unbeaten, for the WBA belt, back in June in Riyadh.Rios (34-4, 17 KOs), 34, has actually not been as energetic or in the same kind as Round, that are going to have lots of fire for his very first planet title protection before his home area supporters. Sphere (20-0-1, 11 KOs), 27, should be careful, as Rios signed up a remarkable fifth-round KO of Nicolas Polanco in April, yet that was the Californian's 1st day trip in just about pair of years. Vargas also outpointed Rios in 2017, and also Murodjon Akhmadaliev stopped Rios in the final sphere for the WBA and IBF junior featherweight globe titles in June 2022.
