Cris Esqueda/Golden Boy/Getty ImagesNot real. If just about anything, the legal action could pave the way for a settlement deal that includes a package for a rematch. The return bout in between Garcia and also Haney is actually simply extremely huge to refuse, for both the boxers as well as the sport.There's the tremendous dispute complying with Garcia's favorable test and also subsequential one-year ban. Haney declares the PEDs brought about Garcia's surprising efficiency, alongside the reality Garcia was actually 3.2 pounds over weight. Each offenses are essential to the lawsuit.Haney was as much as a 9-1 beloved but was defeated three attend a distressed loss that was eventually reversed to a no contest. The match was exhilarating, and also the second bout stands up to be a box office bonanza.After all of, the prevailing thought and feelings moving into the April competition was that Haney would certainly dominate. Garcia's behavior in the build-up of the fight was actually so careless that there was reputable are afraid of the fight wouldn't happen at all.Now, with all the poor blood between the competitors alongside Garcia's growing celebrity power and also his efficiency versus Haney (conveniences nevertheless), there will be actually great passion in a rematch.

Etienne Laurent/EPA-EFEReal. Canelo told ESPN final month that he was targeting a rematch needs to Bivol win following week. And also why not? Canelo was a major fave against his previous four rivals as well as has actually been commonly slammed for his amount of competition.Against Bivol, Canelo would certainly be a determined longshot. Bivol transmitted Alvarez when they met in May 2022, even with the slender directories. Bivol is actually not merely bigger however had the ability to utilize his footwork and also elite punching capacity to bewilder as well as discipline Alvarez.Editor's Picks2 RelatedCanelo has kept during that he's a far better competitor than Bivol which his surgically fixed hand will assist him verify it in a rematch. This would likewise be actually a tradition match. Canelo would certainly have the odds to certainly not just end up being undisputed champ at a second weight training class, yet additionally vindicate the 2nd reduction of his occupation (the various other defeat was against Floyd Mayweather in 2013). What continues to be to become seen: Bivol's readiness to fight Canelo once more. When the rematch was reviewed in the course of the summer months of 2023, Bivol was actually unwavering that the match should occur at 168 pounds for Canelo's recognized champion. Alvarez pointed out the fight needed to have to take place at 175. Whatever body weight they decide on, this match is easily the best possibility for Canelo if he is actually not going to deal with either David Benavidez or Terence Crawford. However Bivol initially possesses an enormous difficulty to deal with versus Beterbiev.-- CoppingerReal or not: Mikhailovich will definitely uncrown AlimkhanulyJanibek Alimkhanuly, left, puts his IBF middleweight globe title vulnerable against Andrei Mikhailovich on Friday in Australia.

He is actually a hostile as well as brave boxer that appears prepared to let loose after journeying to the united state months ago to eliminate, merely to discover that Alimkhanuly stopped working to make weight and also the battle was actually postponed.Mikhailovich is an effective puncher, as well as punchers want to engage to land their strikes, so I anticipate him to perform merely that. In contrast, many of Alimkhanuly's previous enemies have actually gotten in the ring along with self-doubt, determined by the buzz bordering the champ. This moment Alimkhanuly finds himself outside his convenience area, encountering an established, willing challenger. Although this is Mikhailovich's very first battle versus a world-class opponent, the concerns are actually high as well as he possesses every thing to get. The question is actually, can he stay clear of receiving knocked out early? Or can he hurt the champ early to obtain respect?I assume Mikhailovich's unrelenting style could possibly trouble Alimkhanuly's counterpunching design, particularly since Alimkhanuly has actually only gone the complete 12 arounds the moment in his career. For Mikhailovich, enduring the very early rounds and also taking the match deep is going to be essential. Alimkhanuly's capacity to conform and also withstand Mikhailovich's aggression and drilling power is going to be actually enjoyable to view.-- BradleyReal or otherwise: Joshua will certainly certainly not take the rematch along with Dubois nextDaniel Dubois, straight, knocked down Anthony Joshua four times in the course of his fifth-round KO victory to defend the IBF abundant world label.

Joshua, boxing's largest earner responsible for Canelo, has gone from closing with it a huge, lucrative face-off with the winner of the Dec. 21 Usyk vs. Fury match, to fighting to maintain his name relevant at boxing's top table. To place themself back right into significant hostility for a megafight in 2025, Joshua needs to have to regain some reputation after last month's five-round KO loss to Dubois, and the only means he can do that is actually along with a prompt rematch.Though his promoter, Matchroom, could certainly not concur, Joshua will not mind taking the slim side of a deal that will find him face Dubois in a follow up, this time around 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 proceed to face the winner of Usyk vs. Violence 2 in summer 2025, perhaps back at London's Wembley Arena, the performance of Joshua's embarrassing four presentations against Dubois facing a UK-record 96,000 fans 2 weeks back. 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 currently put away pointers from previous boxers including Barry McGuigan that he should retire, surrounded by doubts regarding whether he is actually dropping resistance to electrical power punches.Dubois (22-2, 21 KOs), 27, is actually additionally up for a rematch and also will certainly lavish his chances against his shaken English rival. And this moment he would be actually paid out more.It was actually a disorderly, amusing as well as electrifying match the very first time around, which will swell pay-per-view purchases for a rematch. Yet due to the fact that Dubois vs. Joshua 2 necessities to happen in the winter months and the U.K. merely has one coliseum along with a roof (Principality Arena in Cardiff, Wales, which has a capability of 74,500), it would certainly be a surprise to find this battle land at a U.K. venue.Turki Alalshikh, the best strong figure in boxing that regulates lineups that happen on Saudi Arabia-backed punching celebrations, are going to be actually eager for such a sizable match-- one of the largest punching can give upcoming year-- happening in Saudi Arabia.Matchroom marketer Eddie Hearn, who overviews Joshua's profession, mentions Joshua has actually actually agreed phrases, while Frank Warren, Dubois' marketer, says Dubois will certainly deal with once again in February. Warren has also conveyed his gusto for a prompt rematch, thus anticipate it to take place.-- ParkinsonReal or otherwise: Round is going to defend his WBA featherweight headline versus RiosNick Round, left behind, gained the WBA featherweight headline through beating Raymond Ford in June. Richard Pelham/Getty ImagesReal. Reception has actually been actually famished, alert as well as occupied in stepping up to best degree over the in 2013, also in matches where he failed to have his palm elevated. The Liverpool-based 5-foot-2 boxer does certainly not appear to be bothered by a height negative aspect in globe title fights and also was unfortunate to become rejected victory in a split draw versus Rey Vargas, the WBC featherweight titleholder, in March. What was actually a lot more outstanding was actually Sphere's split choice win over Raymond Ford, who was actually formerly undefeated, for the WBA belt, back in June in Riyadh.Rios (34-4, 17 KOs), 34, has certainly not been actually as energetic or even in the exact same form as Ball, who will has plenty of fire for his initial planet label protection before his home city fans. Round (20-0-1, 11 KOs), 27, need to beware, as Rios registered an outstanding fifth-round KO of Nicolas Polanco in April, but that was actually the Californian's first getaway in nearly two years. Vargas also outpointed Rios in 2017, as well as Murodjon Akhmadaliev quit Rios in the final round for the WBA and also IBF junior featherweight planet titles in June 2022.
