Cris Esqueda/Golden Boy/Getty ImagesNot real. If everything, the case could possibly break the ice for a settlement that includes a bargain for a rematch. The return spell between Garcia as well as Haney is simply extremely big to refuse, for both the competitors and the sport.There's the great dispute following Garcia's good examination and succeeding 1 year ban. Haney professes the PEDs resulted in Garcia's stunning performance, together with the simple fact Garcia was 3.2 extra pounds overweight. Each transgressions are essential to the lawsuit.Haney was as long as a 9-1 preferred but was actually knocked down 3 times in a dismayed reduction that was later on rescinded to a no contest. The match was actually thrilling, as well as the second fight stands up to become a box office bonanza.After all of, the prevailing thought and feelings moving in to the April match was actually that Haney will dominate. Garcia's behavior in the build-up of the match was thus negligent that there was reputable worry the struggle definitely would not occur at all.Now, with all the bad blood between the boxers along with Garcia's increasing superstar energy and also his efficiency versus Haney (conveniences nevertheless), there will be actually enormous rate of interest in a rematch.

Etienne Laurent/EPA-EFEReal. Canelo told ESPN last month that he was targeting a rematch should Bivol win upcoming week. And why certainly not? Canelo was a primary fave against his past four opponents as well as has been largely criticized for his level of competition.Against Bivol, Canelo would certainly be actually a determined longshot. Bivol routed Alvarez when they met in May 2022, regardless of the slim directories. Bivol is certainly not just larger but managed to utilize his maneuvering and also elite punching capability to bewilder and discipline Alvarez.Editor's Picks2 RelatedCanelo has actually sustained during that he is actually a better competitor than Bivol and that his surgically restored palm will certainly aid him prove it in a rematch. This will also be actually a tradition fight. Canelo will have the possibility to certainly not just come to be undisputed champion at a second weight course, but likewise vindicate the second reduction of his career (the various other defeat was against Floyd Mayweather in 2013). What remains to be found: Bivol's willingness to battle Canelo once again. When the rematch was reviewed in the course of the summer season of 2023, Bivol was staunch that the match must happen at 168 extra pounds for Canelo's undeniable championship. Alvarez stated the battle required to occur at 175. Whatever body weight they decide on, this match is by far the very best option for Canelo if he's certainly not going to encounter either David Benavidez or even Terence Crawford. However Bivol first has a tremendous challenge to encounter against Beterbiev.-- CoppingerReal or not: Mikhailovich will certainly uncrown AlimkhanulyJanibek Alimkhanuly, left, puts his IBF middleweight world title on the line versus Andrei Mikhailovich on Friday in Australia. Mikey Williams/Top RankReal: Mikhailovich, of New Zealand, is stepping into the ring in Australia with a tough sense of obligation. He is actually an aggressive and fearless boxer who seems all set to unleash after traveling to the USA months ago to fight, merely to find that Alimkhanuly neglected to make weight and the match was actually postponed.Mikhailovich is an effective puncher, and punchers agree to take on to land their strikes, so I anticipate him to perform merely that. On the other hand, a number of Alimkhanuly's previous rivals have actually gotten into the band with insecurity, affected by the hype encompassing the champion. This time Alimkhanuly finds themself outside his convenience area, facing a found out, willing opposition. Although this is actually Mikhailovich's initial fight against an unparalleled opponent, the risks are high and also he possesses everything to get. The question is actually, can he stay clear of receiving knocked senseless early? Or even can he hurt the champ early to obtain respect?I presume Mikhailovich's ruthless design could impose on Alimkhanuly's counterpunching design, specifically because Alimkhanuly has just gone the full 12 spheres the moment in his profession. For Mikhailovich, surviving the early arounds and also taking the fight deep is going to be vital. Alimkhanuly's capacity to adapt as well as hold up against Mikhailovich's aggression as well as drilling electrical power will definitely be exciting to enjoy.-- BradleyReal or not: Joshua is going to not get the rematch with Dubois nextDaniel Dubois, right, knocked down Anthony Joshua four times throughout his fifth-round KO triumph to guard the IBF abundant planet headline.

Joshua, boxing's greatest earner responsible for Canelo, has actually gone coming from closing with it a substantial, highly profitable showdown with the winner of the Dec. 21 Usyk vs. Fury fight, to overcoming to keep his title appropriate at boxing's top table. To put themself back right into severe hostility for a megafight in 2025, Joshua needs to have to restore some reputation after last month's five-round KO loss to Dubois, and also the only technique he can possibly do that is actually with an instant rematch.Though his promoter, Matchroom, could certainly not agree, Joshua won't mind taking the thin side of an offer that are going to find him encounter Dubois in a sequel, this moment in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, possibly on Feb. 22, due to the fact that it offers him the quickest course back. The winner of the Dubois vs. Joshua rematch will advance to deal with the winner of Usyk vs. Fury 2 in summer season 2025, possibly back at London's Wembley Arena, the scene of Joshua's humiliating 4 knockdowns against Dubois in front of a UK-record 96,000 enthusiasts two weeks ago. That battle can be for all four significant big-time globe titles.Two-time champion Joshua (28-4, 25 KOs), that transforms 35 this month, has actually currently dismissed recommendations from former fighters like Barry McGuigan that he must retire, in the middle of hesitations concerning whether he is actually losing resistance to electrical power punches.Dubois (22-2, 21 KOs), 27, is actually likewise up for a rematch and is going to elaborate his chances against his trembled English opponent. And this time around he would certainly be spent more.It was actually a disorderly, entertaining and electrifying match the very first time around, which would certainly swell pay-per-view purchases for a rematch. However considering that Dubois vs. Joshua 2 necessities to happen in the wintertime and the U.K. simply possesses one coliseum along with a roof covering (Principality Coliseum in Cardiff, Wales, which possesses a capability of 74,500), it would certainly be actually a surprise to find this battle land at a U.K. venue.Turki Alalshikh, the absolute most strong have a place in boxing who regulates schedules that take place on Saudi Arabia-backed boxing celebrations, will certainly be actually interested for such a big fight-- one of the greatest boxing can provide upcoming year-- taking place in Saudi Arabia.Matchroom promoter Eddie Hearn, that quick guides Joshua's job, mentions Joshua has actually currently conceded phrases, while Frank Warren, Dubois' marketer, says Dubois will deal with once again in February. Warren has actually likewise revealed his fervency for an immediate rematch, thus expect it to occur.-- ParkinsonReal or not: Round will definitely defend his WBA featherweight label against RiosNick Ball, left behind, won the WBA featherweight label by defeating Raymond Ford in June. Richard Pelham/Getty ImagesReal. Ball has actually been famished, alert and also active in stepping up to best level over the in 2014, even in fights where he didn't possess his palm increased. The Liverpool-based 5-foot-2 pugilist performs certainly not seem to be to be troubled through a height downside in planet headline battles and was actually unfavorable to be rejected success in a crack draw against Rey Vargas, the WBC featherweight holder, in March. What was even more remarkable was Sphere's split selection gain Raymond Ford, who was actually previously unbeaten, for the WBA waistband, back in June in Riyadh.Rios (34-4, 17 KOs), 34, has actually not been as active or in the exact same kind as Ball, that are going to teem with fire for his very first world title protection before his home metropolitan area supporters. Sphere (20-0-1, 11 KOs), 27, must beware, as Rios signed up an outstanding fifth-round KO of Nicolas Polanco in April, yet that was the Californian's initial outing in virtually 2 years. Vargas also outpointed Rios in 2017, as well as Murodjon Akhmadaliev ceased Rios in the last round for the WBA and also IBF junior lightweight planet labels in June 2022. Round's energy and also desire will find him guard his WBA belt along with a selection victory.-- Parkinson.
