Cris Esqueda/Golden Boy/Getty ImagesNot real. If anything, the legal action could possibly lead the way for a settlement that includes an offer for a rematch. The yield round in between Garcia and Haney is just very big to pass up, for both the fighters as well as the sport.There's the immense debate complying with Garcia's beneficial exam as well as succeeding one-year restriction. Haney professes the PEDs triggered Garcia's surprising functionality, together with the simple fact Garcia was 3.2 pounds over weight. Each transgressions are essential to the lawsuit.Haney was as high as a 9-1 favorite yet was floored 3 times in a distressed reduction that was later overturned to a no contest. The match was awesome, and the 2nd struggle stands to be a ticket office bonanza.After all of, the prevailing thought and feelings heading in to the April match was actually that Haney would control. Garcia's behavior in the accumulation of the match was therefore careless that there was actually legitimate are afraid the match definitely would not take place at all.Now, with all the poor blood stream between the fighters alongside Garcia's developing star power and his functionality against Haney (perks in spite of), there would certainly be actually great rate of interest in a rematch. The case just adds to the drama and also might be the very thing that assists unite the concerns to make the rematch happen.-- CoppingerReal or not: If Bivol defeats Beterbiev, he'll be actually the preferred to eliminate Alvarez in MayLight heavyweight champ Dmitry Bivol, left behind, defeated Canelo Alvarez through consensual choice in 2022. Etienne Laurent/EPA-EFEReal. Canelo said to ESPN final month that he was targeting a rematch must Bivol gain upcoming week. And why certainly not? Canelo was actually a significant fave versus his past four rivals and also has been actually widely slammed for his degree of competition.Against Bivol, Canelo would be actually a made a decision underdog. Bivol directed Alvarez when they complied with in May 2022, regardless of the slim scorecards. Bivol is not just larger however managed to use his maneuvering as well as best punching ability to befuddle as well as punish Alvarez.Editor's Picks2 RelatedCanelo has sustained during that he is actually a much better boxer than Bivol which his surgically fixed hand will help him verify it in a rematch. This would also be actually a tradition match. Canelo would possess the odds to not simply end up being undisputed champion at a second weight class, yet also retaliate the 2nd loss of his profession (the other loss protested Floyd Mayweather in 2013). What continues to be to be viewed: Bivol's desire to deal with Canelo again. When the rematch was explained throughout the summertime of 2023, Bivol was unyielding that the match must take place at 168 pounds for Canelo's unquestioned championship. Alvarez pointed out the fight needed to take place at 175. Whatever weight they settle on, this match is without a doubt the very best option for Canelo if he's not mosting likely to experience either David Benavidez or Terence Crawford. Yet Bivol to begin with has a tremendous problem to deal with versus Beterbiev.-- CoppingerReal or otherwise: Mikhailovich will definitely degrade AlimkhanulyJanibek Alimkhanuly, left behind, puts his IBF middleweight planet label vulnerable against Andrei Mikhailovich on Friday in Australia.

He is actually a hostile as well as fearless boxer who seems prepared to let loose after taking a trip to the U.S. months ago to fight, simply to discover that Alimkhanuly fallen short to bring in weight and also the fight was postponed.Mikhailovich is an effective puncher, and punchers agree to take on to land their strikes, so I expect him to carry out only that. In contrast, much of Alimkhanuly's previous opponents have actually entered into the ring with self-doubt, influenced due to the hype surrounding the champion. This moment Alimkhanuly discovers themself outside his comfort area, encountering a calculated, willing opposition. Although this is actually Mikhailovich's first match against an outstanding opponent, the concerns are high and also he has every thing to gain. The inquiry is, can he avoid getting knocked out early? Or even can he harm the champion early to get respect?I presume Mikhailovich's ruthless design can impose on Alimkhanuly's counterpunching design, specifically considering that Alimkhanuly has actually simply gone the complete 12 spheres as soon as in his job. For Mikhailovich, surviving the early spheres and taking the battle deep will certainly be actually essential. Alimkhanuly's ability to adapt as well as stand up to Mikhailovich's aggressiveness and punching electrical power will definitely 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 during his fifth-round KO success to defend the IBF heavyweight planet label.

To put himself back into major combat for a megafight in 2025, Joshua requires to gain back some integrity after last month's five-round KO defeat to Dubois, and also the only technique he can do that is along with a quick rematch.Though his promoter, Matchroom, could certainly not agree, Joshua will not mind taking the slim edge of a package that will certainly view him encounter Dubois in a follow up, this time in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, potentially on Feb. 22, because it delivers him the quickest path back. The victor of the Dubois vs. Joshua rematch would advance to face the victor of Usyk vs. Rage 2 in summer months 2025, potentially back at London's Wembley Arena, the performance of Joshua's humiliating 4 knockdowns against Dubois before a UK-record 96,000 supporters 2 weeks ago.

As well as this time around he would be actually paid for more.It was actually a turbulent, amusing and also exhilarating match the first time around, which would certainly swell pay-per-view sales for a rematch. But because Dubois vs. Joshua 2 needs to occur in the winter as well as the U.K. only has one stadium along with a roof covering (Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales, which has a capability of 74,500), it will be a surprise to observe this fight property at a U.K. venue.Turki Alalshikh, the best powerful have a place in boxing that handles lineups that happen on Saudi Arabia-backed boxing occasions, are going to be actually keen for such a big battle-- one of the biggest punching can give upcoming year-- happening in Saudi Arabia.Matchroom marketer Eddie Hearn, who manuals Joshua's career, claims Joshua has currently concurred conditions, while Frank Warren, Dubois' marketer, points out Dubois will definitely deal with once more in February.

Richard Pelham/Getty ImagesReal. Reception has been starving, sharp as well as occupied symphonious up to best degree over the in 2015, even in fights where he really did not have his hand raised. The Liverpool-based 5-foot-2 fighter performs certainly not seem to be to be worried about by an elevation drawback in planet title battles as well as was actually unfortunate to become refuted victory in a split draw against Rey Vargas, the WBC featherweight titleholder, in March.
