Cris Esqueda/Golden Boy/Getty ImagesNot real. If everything, the claim could possibly pave the way for a negotiation that consists of an offer for a rematch. The gain stint between Garcia and also Haney is actually simply very huge to avoid, for both the fighters and the sport.There's the immense dispute following Garcia's favorable exam and subsequential 1 year ban. Haney claims the PEDs led to Garcia's surprising efficiency, in addition to the reality Garcia was 3.2 extra pounds overweight. Both violations are key to the lawsuit.Haney was as high as a 9-1 favorite however was knocked down 3 attend an upset loss that was actually later reversed to a no competition. The fight was actually exhilarating, as well as the second battle stands up to become a box office bonanza.After all of, the prevailing notion moving into the April matchup was that Haney would certainly dominate. Garcia's habits in the build-up of the fight was so reckless that there was legitimate worry the battle definitely would not occur at all.Now, along with all the bad blood stream in between the boxers in addition to Garcia's expanding celebrity electrical power as well as his performance against Haney (benefits notwithstanding), there will be great interest in a rematch. The suit simply includes in the drama as well as might be the actual trait that helps bridge the problems to bring in the rematch take place.-- CoppingerReal or not: If Bivol reduces Beterbiev, he'll be actually the beloved to overcome Alvarez in MayLight big-time champ Dmitry Bivol, left, defeated Canelo Alvarez by consentaneous decision in 2022. Etienne Laurent/EPA-EFEReal. Canelo said to ESPN last month that he was actually targeting a rematch must Bivol succeed upcoming full week. And why certainly not? Canelo was actually a primary favorite against his past four rivals and also has been actually extensively slammed for his level of competition.Against Bivol, Canelo would certainly be actually a chosen longshot. Bivol transmitted Alvarez when they satisfied in May 2022, in spite of the slender directories. Bivol is actually not just larger yet was able to use his footwork and elite boxing capacity to baffle as well as punish Alvarez.Editor's Picks2 RelatedCanelo has preserved all along that he is actually a far better competitor than Bivol which his surgically fixed hand will certainly assist him confirm it in a rematch. This would certainly additionally be a tradition match. Canelo would certainly possess the odds to certainly not simply become indisputable champ at a 2nd weight class, but likewise retaliate the second loss of his occupation (the various other loss protested Floyd Mayweather in 2013). What continues to be to be viewed: Bivol's determination to deal with Canelo once more. When the rematch was gone over during the summer of 2023, Bivol was resolute that the battle needs to happen at 168 extra pounds for Canelo's unquestioned championship. Alvarez mentioned the battle needed to have to happen at 175. Whatever weight they decide on, this fight is actually without a doubt the most ideal choice for Canelo if he's certainly not mosting likely to face either David Benavidez or even Terence Crawford. Yet Bivol first has a remarkable difficulty to deal with versus Beterbiev.-- CoppingerReal or otherwise: Mikhailovich will degrade AlimkhanulyJanibek Alimkhanuly, left behind, puts his IBF middleweight world headline on the line against Andrei Mikhailovich on Friday in Australia.

He's a threatening and also fearless fighter that appears all set to release after traveling to the USA months ago to eliminate, simply to find that Alimkhanuly stopped working to create weight as well as the match was actually postponed.Mikhailovich is a highly effective puncher, and also punchers want to take on to land their strikes, so I expect him to carry out only that. On the other hand, many of Alimkhanuly's previous rivals have actually entered the ring along with self-doubt, affected by the buzz neighboring the champion. This time Alimkhanuly finds themself outside his comfort area, dealing with an identified, ready challenger. Although this is actually Mikhailovich's very first battle versus an unparalleled challenger, the concerns are actually higher as well as he possesses whatever to gain. The inquiry is, can he steer clear of obtaining knocked senseless early? Or even may he injure the champ early to get respect?I presume Mikhailovich's unrelenting type could trouble Alimkhanuly's counterpunching style, especially given that Alimkhanuly has only gone the total 12 rounds when in his job. For Mikhailovich, surviving the early arounds and taking the fight deep is going to be actually vital. Alimkhanuly's potential to conform and also endure Mikhailovich's aggression and also punching power will certainly be actually exciting to enjoy.-- BradleyReal or otherwise: Joshua will certainly certainly not get the rematch along with Dubois nextDaniel Dubois, straight, knocked down Anthony Joshua four opportunities during the course of his fifth-round KO success to safeguard the IBF heavyweight planet label.

The victor of the Dubois vs. Joshua rematch would certainly advance to experience the winner of Usyk vs. Madness 2 in summer 2025, potentially back at Greater london's Wembley Stadium, the scene of Joshua's embarrassing four knockdowns against Dubois in front of a UK-record 96,000 followers pair of full weeks earlier.

And also this moment he will be actually paid more.It was a chaotic, entertaining and thrilling fight the very first time around, which will swell pay-per-view sales for a rematch. But since Dubois vs. Joshua 2 demands to occur in the wintertime and the U.K. simply possesses one coliseum along with a rooftop (Principality Arena in Cardiff, Wales, which has a capacity of 74,500), it would certainly be actually a shock to find this match property at a U.K. venue.Turki Alalshikh, the absolute most effective have a place in punching who regulates schedules that occur on Saudi Arabia-backed boxing celebrations, are going to be actually interested for such a large match-- some of the most significant boxing may offer next year-- occurring in Saudi Arabia.Matchroom marketer Eddie Hearn, that quick guides Joshua's occupation, claims Joshua has actually currently agreed phrases, while Frank Warren, Dubois' marketer, mentions Dubois will definitely fight once again in February.

The Liverpool-based 5-foot-2 fighter carries out not seem to be to become troubled through a height negative aspect in planet title fights and also was unfortunate to be refused success in a crack draw versus Rey Vargas, the WBC featherweight holder, in March. What was actually even more impressive was Sphere's split choice get Raymond Ford, that was previously undefeated, for the WBA waistband, back in June in Riyadh.Rios (34-4, 17 KOs), 34, has actually not been as active or even in the same type as Ball, that are going to teem with fire for his 1st planet label protection before his home metropolitan area followers.
