Cris Esqueda/Golden Boy/Getty ImagesNot real. If anything, the claim could possibly lead the way for a negotiation that includes an offer for a rematch. The gain spell between Garcia as well as Haney is actually merely very large to pass up, for both the competitors and also the sport.There's the immense debate observing Garcia's good examination and also subsequent one-year restriction. Haney states the PEDs triggered Garcia's shocking functionality, together with the reality Garcia was 3.2 extra pounds over weight. Each infractions are actually vital to the lawsuit.Haney was actually as much as a 9-1 favorite yet was actually floored 3 times in a dismayed reduction that was later rescinded to a no contest. The match was electrifying, and also the 2nd match stands to be a box office bonanza.After all of, the dominating thought moving right into the April competition was actually that Haney would dominate. Garcia's behavior in the build-up of the fight was so careless that there was actually reputable fear the match would not take place at all.Now, along with all the poor blood between the boxers along with Garcia's increasing celebrity electrical power as well as his efficiency against Haney (conveniences notwithstanding), there would certainly be actually tremendous interest in a rematch. The claim only adds to the dramatization and also can be the actual point that helps bridge the concerns to make the rematch occur.-- CoppingerReal or not: If Bivol defeats Beterbiev, he'll be the favorite to combat Alvarez in MayLight big-time champion Dmitry Bivol, left, defeated Canelo Alvarez through consentaneous decision in 2022. Etienne Laurent/EPA-EFEReal. Canelo told ESPN last month that he was actually targeting a rematch ought to Bivol succeed following full week. And why certainly not? Canelo was a major favorite versus his past four enemies and has actually been commonly slammed for his amount of competition.Against Bivol, Canelo would be actually a chosen longshot. Bivol routed Alvarez when they fulfilled in May 2022, even with the slim directories. Bivol is not just larger but had the ability to utilize his footwork as well as elite punching capability to bewilder and also penalize Alvarez.Editor's Picks2 RelatedCanelo has sustained all along that he's a far better fighter than Bivol and that his operatively repaired hand will definitely aid him verify it in a rematch. This will also be a heritage match. Canelo will possess the opportunity to certainly not simply come to be uncontested champion at a 2nd weight lesson, however also avenge the second reduction of his career (the other defeat was against Floyd Mayweather in 2013). What stays to become found: Bivol's willingness to deal with Canelo once more. When the rematch was talked about during the course of the summer months of 2023, Bivol was steadfast that the struggle should occur at 168 pounds for Canelo's recognized championship. Alvarez pointed out the fight needed to happen at 175. Whatever weight they choose, this match is easily the very best choice for Canelo if he is actually not heading to encounter either David Benavidez or Terence Crawford. But Bivol first possesses a tremendous obstacle to deal with against Beterbiev.-- CoppingerReal or not: Mikhailovich will uncrown AlimkhanulyJanibek Alimkhanuly, left, puts his IBF middleweight globe headline vulnerable against Andrei Mikhailovich on Friday in Australia. Mikey Williams/Top RankReal: Mikhailovich, of New Zealand, is actually entering the supplant Australia along with a ferocious sense of obligation. He's a threatening and brave boxer that seems to be ready to unleash after traveling to the united state months ago to overcome, only to discover that Alimkhanuly failed to create weight and also the match was actually postponed.Mikhailovich is a strong puncher, as well as punchers want to engage to land their strikes, so I expect him to do merely that. On the other hand, much of Alimkhanuly's previous enemies have actually entered into the ring with insecurity, influenced by the hype bordering the champ. This moment Alimkhanuly locates themself outside his convenience area, facing an established, prepared opposition. Although this is Mikhailovich's 1st match against an outstanding rival, the risks are higher and he has everything to acquire. The question is, can he avoid receiving knocked out early? Or even can he hurt the champ early to acquire respect?I think Mikhailovich's ruthless style could possibly impose on Alimkhanuly's counterpunching design, especially due to the fact that Alimkhanuly has merely gone the total 12 rounds when in his occupation. For Mikhailovich, surviving the very early arounds and taking the battle deep will certainly be actually crucial. Alimkhanuly's capacity to adapt as well as withstand Mikhailovich's hostility and drilling energy will be actually fun to view.-- BradleyReal or otherwise: Joshua will definitely not get the rematch along with Dubois nextDaniel Dubois, straight, brought down Anthony Joshua 4 opportunities during his fifth-round KO triumph to guard the IBF abundant world title. Richard Pelham/Getty ImagesNot real. Joshua, punching's largest income earner behind Canelo, has gone from closing in on a significant, highly profitable showdown along with the victor of the Dec. 21 Usyk vs. Madness fight, to combating to maintain his label applicable at punching's best desk. To put themself back into severe contention for a megafight in 2025, Joshua requires to gain back some reliability after final 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 marketer, Matchroom, could certainly not concur, Joshua will not mind taking the thin side of a bargain that will definitely find him deal with Dubois in a sequel, this time in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, potentially on Feb. 22, because it gives him the quickest route back. The champion of the Dubois vs. Joshua rematch will proceed to experience the winner of Usyk vs. Frenzy 2 in summer season 2025, possibly back at London's Wembley Arena, the scene of Joshua's embarrassing four presentations against Dubois facing a UK-record 96,000 enthusiasts two full weeks earlier. That fight can be for all four significant heavyweight globe titles.Two-time champion Joshua (28-4, 25 KOs), that turns 35 this month, has actually actually put away pointers coming from past fighters such as Barry McGuigan that he should retire, surrounded by hesitations concerning whether he is dropping resistance to energy punches.Dubois (22-2, 21 KOs), 27, is actually additionally up for a rematch and is going to lavish his opportunities against his drunk English opponent. And also this time around he would be paid for more.It was a disorderly, engaging and electrifying fight the very first time around, which would certainly swell pay-per-view purchases for a rematch. However considering that Dubois vs. Joshua 2 demands to happen in the wintertime and also the U.K. only has one coliseum along with a roof covering (Principality Arena in Cardiff, Wales, which has a capability of 74,500), it will be a shock to view this match property at a U.K. venue.Turki Alalshikh, the best highly effective have a place in boxing who manages lineups that happen on Saudi Arabia-backed punching celebrations, are going to be actually interested for such a huge battle-- one of the biggest punching can give following year-- occurring in Saudi Arabia.Matchroom marketer Eddie Hearn, who overviews Joshua's job, mentions Joshua has actually actually concurred conditions, while Frank Warren, Dubois' marketer, states Dubois is going to battle once again in February.

Richard Pelham/Getty ImagesReal.

The Liverpool-based 5-foot-2 boxer does not appear to be troubled by a height negative aspect in planet label matches as well as was actually unfavorable to be refuted triumph in a crack draw against Rey Vargas, the WBC featherweight titleholder, in March. What was extra outstanding was actually Sphere's split decision sway Raymond Ford, who was actually previously undefeated, for the WBA waistband, back in June in Riyadh.Rios (34-4, 17 KOs), 34, has actually not been actually as energetic or even in the same form as Ball, that are going to be full of fire for his initial world label defense before his home area fans. Round (20-0-1, 11 KOs), 27, should beware, as Rios signed up an outstanding fifth-round KO of Nicolas Polanco in April, however that was actually the Californian's initial day trip in almost 2 years. Vargas likewise outpointed Rios in 2017, and also Murodjon Akhmadaliev ceased Rios in the last sphere for the WBA and also IBF junior light world headlines in June 2022.
