Cris Esqueda/Golden Boy/Getty ImagesNot real. If just about anything, the claim might lead the way for a settlement deal that features an offer for a rematch. The return spell in between Garcia as well as Haney is simply very significant to skip, for both the fighters and also the sport.There's the huge controversy following Garcia's good exam and also succeeding one-year restriction. Haney declares the PEDs resulted in Garcia's stunning performance, alongside the truth Garcia was 3.2 pounds over weight. Both infractions are actually essential to the lawsuit.Haney was as much as a 9-1 beloved but was actually defeated three times in a dismayed loss that was later overturned to a no competition. The fight was actually exhilarating, and the 2nd fight stands up to become a ticket office bonanza.After all of, the prevailing idea heading right into the April match was actually that Haney would certainly control. Garcia's actions in the buildup of the battle was actually therefore careless that there was actually genuine worry the fight wouldn't occur at all.Now, along with all the negative blood between the boxers alongside Garcia's growing star power and also his efficiency against Haney (advantages nevertheless), there would certainly be enormous rate of interest in a rematch. The claim merely includes in the dramatization and also may be the exact thing that aids connect the issues to make the rematch occur.-- CoppingerReal or not: If Bivol defeats Beterbiev, he'll be actually the beloved to fight Alvarez in MayLight big-time champ Dmitry Bivol, left behind, defeated Canelo Alvarez by unanimous selection in 2022. Etienne Laurent/EPA-EFEReal. Canelo informed ESPN last month that he was actually targeting a rematch ought to Bivol succeed upcoming week. And also why certainly not? Canelo was a primary fave versus his previous four opponents as well as has actually been extensively criticized for his level of competition.Against Bivol, Canelo would be actually a decided underdog. Bivol routed Alvarez when they satisfied in May 2022, despite the slender directories. Bivol is not just bigger but had the capacity to use his maneuvering as well as best punching capability to befuddle and discipline Alvarez.Editor's Picks2 RelatedCanelo has actually maintained all along that he's a far better competitor than Bivol and also his surgically restored hand is going to aid him prove it in a rematch. This will likewise be actually a tradition match. Canelo would possess the odds to not just come to be undeniable champ at a second body weight lesson, yet likewise vindicate the second reduction of his career (the various other loss protested Floyd Mayweather in 2013). What continues to be to be seen: Bivol's readiness to combat Canelo once more. When the rematch was covered during the summer season of 2023, Bivol was actually staunch that the bout should take place at 168 pounds for Canelo's uncontested championship. Alvarez claimed the fight needed to have to occur at 175. Whatever body weight they pick, this fight is actually without a doubt the greatest option for Canelo if he is actually certainly not mosting likely to encounter either David Benavidez or even Terence Crawford. Yet Bivol to begin with has a significant obstacle to deal with against Beterbiev.-- CoppingerReal or not: Mikhailovich will definitely uncrown AlimkhanulyJanibek Alimkhanuly, left behind, puts his IBF middleweight globe label vulnerable versus Andrei Mikhailovich on Friday in Australia. Mikey Williams/Top RankReal: Mikhailovich, of New Zealand, is actually stepping into the supplant Australia with a strong feeling of responsibility. He's an aggressive as well as fearless fighter who seems to be all set to discharge after traveling to the U.S. months ago to fight, simply to uncover that Alimkhanuly fallen short to create body weight as well as the fight was actually postponed.Mikhailovich is actually a highly effective puncher, as well as punchers agree to engage to land their strikes, so I anticipate him to carry out only that. On the other hand, a lot of Alimkhanuly's previous rivals have actually entered into the band along with self-doubt, determined by the hype neighboring the champ. This time Alimkhanuly locates himself outside his comfort zone, experiencing a found out, eager opposition. Although this is actually Mikhailovich's very first match against an unparalleled challenger, the risks are actually higher and also he has every little thing to obtain. The concern is actually, can he steer clear of obtaining knocked senseless early? Or even can he harm the champion early to acquire respect?I believe Mikhailovich's unrelenting design can impose on Alimkhanuly's counterpunching design, specifically given that Alimkhanuly has actually simply gone the comprehensive 12 rounds once in his job. For Mikhailovich, making it through the early rounds as well as taking the match deep will certainly be actually vital. Alimkhanuly's capacity to adapt and withstand Mikhailovich's aggressiveness and also drilling electrical power will certainly be actually fun to check out.-- BradleyReal or not: Joshua is going to not get the rematch with Dubois nextDaniel Dubois, straight, tore down Anthony Joshua 4 opportunities in the course of his fifth-round KO success to fight for the IBF heavyweight planet headline.

The winner of the Dubois vs. Joshua rematch will proceed to face the victor of Usyk vs. Fierceness 2 in summertime 2025, perhaps back at Greater london's Wembley Arena, the scene of Joshua's humiliating four presentations versus Dubois facing a UK-record 96,000 enthusiasts 2 full weeks ago. That battle may be for all 4 primary big-time world titles.Two-time champ Joshua (28-4, 25 KOs), who turns 35 this month, has actually currently put away tips from previous boxers including Barry McGuigan that he ought to resign, amidst hesitations in order to whether he is actually losing protection to energy punches.Dubois (22-2, 21 KOs), 27, is additionally up for a rematch and is going to elegant his opportunities against his drunk English competitor. And also this moment he will be actually paid for more.It was a chaotic, amusing as well as electrifying fight the first time around, which would certainly swell pay-per-view purchases for a rematch. But considering that Dubois vs. Joshua 2 needs to occur in the winter months and the U.K. just possesses one arena along with a roof (Principality Coliseum in Cardiff, Wales, which possesses an ability of 74,500), it will be a shock to view this match property at a U.K. venue.Turki Alalshikh, the most powerful have a place in boxing that regulates lineups that happen on Saudi Arabia-backed boxing events, will certainly be actually eager for such a huge match-- one of the largest punching may provide upcoming year-- happening in Saudi Arabia.Matchroom promoter Eddie Hearn, who quick guides Joshua's occupation, claims Joshua has currently conceded conditions, while Frank Warren, Dubois' promoter, says Dubois will certainly combat once more in February.

The Liverpool-based 5-foot-2 fighter does not seem to be bothered by an elevation disadvantage in globe headline battles and also was actually regrettable to be denied triumph in a split draw against Rey Vargas, the WBC featherweight holder, in March. What was a lot more outstanding was actually Round's split decision gain Raymond Ford, that was earlier unbeaten, for the WBA belt, back in June in Riyadh.Rios (34-4, 17 KOs), 34, has actually not been actually as active or in the very same type as Ball, that are going to has plenty of fire for his first globe label defense before his home city enthusiasts.
