Cris Esqueda/Golden Boy/Getty ImagesNot real. If just about anything, the lawsuit could possibly break the ice for a negotiation that consists of a bargain for a rematch. The return spell between Garcia and Haney is simply extremely significant to pass up, for both the fighters as well as the sport.There's the enormous conflict complying with Garcia's favorable exam as well as succeeding 1 year ban. Haney asserts the PEDs brought about Garcia's surprising functionality, alongside the truth Garcia was actually 3.2 extra pounds overweight. Each offenses are actually key to the lawsuit.Haney was actually as high as a 9-1 preferred yet was knocked down 3 attend an upset reduction that was later rescinded to a no competition. The battle was electrifying, and also the second fight stands up to be a box office bonanza.After all of, the prevailing thought moving into the April match was that Haney would dominate. Garcia's behavior in the build-up of the match was thus negligent that there was actually reputable fear the battle wouldn't occur at all.Now, with all the bad blood stream in between the boxers together with Garcia's developing star power and his functionality versus Haney (benefits nevertheless), there would certainly be tremendous interest in a rematch. The lawsuit simply contributes to the drama and also can be the actual trait that helps unite the concerns to make the rematch happen.-- CoppingerReal or not: If Bivol reduces Beterbiev, he'll be the favorite to eliminate Alvarez in MayLight heavyweight champion Dmitry Bivol, left, reduced Canelo Alvarez by consensual decision in 2022. Etienne Laurent/EPA-EFEReal. Canelo said to ESPN final month that he was actually targeting a rematch must Bivol succeed upcoming week. And why certainly not? Canelo was a major preference versus his past 4 enemies as well as has actually been actually widely slammed for his amount of competition.Against Bivol, Canelo would certainly be actually a determined underdog. Bivol transmitted Alvarez when they complied with in May 2022, even with the slender scorecards. Bivol is not merely greater yet had the ability to use his footwork and also elite punching ability to baffle and penalize Alvarez.Editor's Picks2 RelatedCanelo has maintained during that he's a better competitor than Bivol and that his surgically repaired palm will aid him verify it in a rematch. This would certainly additionally be a heritage match. Canelo will possess the chance to not only come to be unquestioned champion at a 2nd body weight course, however likewise avenge the second loss of his occupation (the other disappointment protested Floyd Mayweather in 2013). What remains to be found: Bivol's readiness to combat Canelo once more. When the rematch was talked about throughout the summertime of 2023, Bivol was actually steadfast that the struggle must occur at 168 pounds for Canelo's undisputed champion. Alvarez mentioned the match needed to have to take place at 175. Whatever weight they settle on, this match is easily the most effective choice for Canelo if he's not going to face either David Benavidez or even Terence Crawford. But Bivol first possesses an enormous obstacle to face against Beterbiev.-- CoppingerReal or not: Mikhailovich will certainly displace AlimkhanulyJanibek Alimkhanuly, left, puts his IBF middleweight globe title on the line versus Andrei Mikhailovich on Friday in Australia. Mikey Williams/Top RankReal: Mikhailovich, of New Zealand, is actually entering the ring in Australia with a strong sense of duty. He's a threatening and also brave competitor that seems to be all set to let loose after taking a trip to the united state months ago to eliminate, only to find out that Alimkhanuly neglected to bring in weight as well as the fight was postponed.Mikhailovich is a highly effective puncher, and punchers want to engage to land their strikes, so I anticipate him to perform simply that. In contrast, a lot of Alimkhanuly's previous enemies have gotten into the ring with insecurity, affected due to the hype bordering the champion. This moment Alimkhanuly discovers himself outside his convenience zone, experiencing an established, prepared opposition. Although this is actually Mikhailovich's initial match versus a world-class enemy, the stakes are high and he has whatever to gain. The question is actually, can he avoid obtaining knocked out early? Or may he injure the champion early to obtain respect?I assume Mikhailovich's ruthless type can trouble Alimkhanuly's counterpunching design, specifically given that Alimkhanuly has just gone the total 12 rounds as soon as in his career. For Mikhailovich, enduring the early spheres as well as taking the fight deep will definitely be actually key. Alimkhanuly's capacity to adjust and endure Mikhailovich's hostility as well as punching electrical power will definitely be actually fun to enjoy.-- BradleyReal or not: Joshua is going to certainly not take the rematch with Dubois nextDaniel Dubois, right, brought down Anthony Joshua four times in the course of his fifth-round KO success to guard the IBF abundant planet title.

Joshua, boxing's greatest wage earner behind Canelo, has gone coming from closing in on a massive, profitable showdown with the victor of the Dec. 21 Usyk vs. Fierceness fight, to fighting to maintain his label applicable at punching's best desk. To place themself back in to severe hostility for a megafight in 2025, Joshua needs to gain back some integrity after final month's five-round KO defeat to Dubois, and the only method he may do that is actually along with an instant rematch.Though his marketer, Matchroom, may not acknowledge, Joshua will not mind taking the slim edge of a bargain that will view him experience Dubois in a part two, this moment in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, likely on Feb. 22, considering that it gives him the quickest option back. The winner of the Dubois vs. Joshua rematch will proceed to encounter the victor of Usyk vs. Rabidity 2 in summer 2025, perhaps back at Greater london's Wembley Stadium, the performance of Joshua's embarrassing four knockdowns against Dubois facing a UK-record 96,000 fans two full weeks ago. That match may be for all four significant big-time globe titles.Two-time champ Joshua (28-4, 25 KOs), who turns 35 this month, has actually currently put away suggestions from previous pugilists including Barry McGuigan that he should retire, in the middle of hesitations concerning whether he is actually dropping protection to electrical power punches.Dubois (22-2, 21 KOs), 27, is also up for a rematch as well as will definitely elegant his possibilities against his shaken English opponent. And this time he will be spent more.It was a disorderly, entertaining and also awesome match the first time around, which will swell pay-per-view sales for a rematch. But given that Dubois vs. Joshua 2 demands to happen in the winter and also the U.K. merely possesses one stadium with a roof (Principality Coliseum in Cardiff, Wales, which has a capability of 74,500), it would be an unpleasant surprise to find this battle land at a U.K. venue.Turki Alalshikh, the most effective have a place in boxing who controls lineups that occur on Saudi Arabia-backed boxing events, will definitely be keen for such a big fight-- among the most significant boxing may offer following year-- happening in Saudi Arabia.Matchroom marketer Eddie Hearn, who guides Joshua's occupation, mentions Joshua has actually currently concurred phrases, while Frank Warren, Dubois' marketer, states Dubois will certainly fight once again in February.

Richard Pelham/Getty ImagesReal. Ball has been actually hungry, sharp and occupied symphonious as much as best degree over the in 2014, even in fights where he failed to have his hand increased. The Liverpool-based 5-foot-2 boxer does not appear to be bothered by a height disadvantage in planet headline matches as well as was actually unfavorable to become refused victory in a crack draw against Rey Vargas, the WBC featherweight holder, in March. What was more outstanding was Sphere's crack decision get Raymond Ford, that was formerly unbeaten, for the WBA belt, back in June in Riyadh.Rios (34-4, 17 KOs), 34, has actually certainly not been as energetic or even in the exact same type as Round, that will definitely has plenty of fire for his first planet headline self defense in front of his home metropolitan area followers. Ball (20-0-1, 11 KOs), 27, need to take care, as Rios enrolled an impressive fifth-round KO of Nicolas Polanco in April, yet that was actually the Californian's initial outing in virtually pair of years. Vargas also outpointed Rios in 2017, and Murodjon Akhmadaliev ceased Rios in the final round for the WBA as well as IBF junior lightweight world titles in June 2022.
