Cris Esqueda/Golden Boy/Getty ImagesNot real. If just about anything, the claim could pave the way for a resolution that consists of a package for a rematch. The profit spell in between Garcia and Haney is actually merely too huge to skip, for both the boxers and also the sport.There's the huge debate following Garcia's positive test as well as subsequent one-year ban. Haney states the PEDs led to Garcia's stunning efficiency, alongside the reality Garcia was 3.2 pounds obese. Both infractions are crucial to the lawsuit.Haney was actually as long as a 9-1 favorite yet was actually defeated 3 times in a distressed reduction that was later reversed to a no competition. The battle was thrilling, and the 2nd match stands to become a box office bonanza.After all of, the dominating notion heading right into the April match was that Haney will dominate. Garcia's habits in the build-up of the battle was thus reckless that there was actually valid dread the struggle definitely would not happen at all.Now, along with all the bad blood in between the competitors alongside Garcia's growing superstar power and also his performance versus Haney (conveniences notwithstanding), there will be actually tremendous enthusiasm in a rematch.

Etienne Laurent/EPA-EFEReal. Canelo told ESPN final month that he was targeting a rematch needs to Bivol gain next full week. And why certainly not? Canelo was actually a primary fave versus his past 4 enemies and also has actually been commonly criticized for his degree of competition.Against Bivol, Canelo would be a determined underdog. Bivol routed Alvarez when they complied with in May 2022, despite the slender directories. Bivol is actually certainly not just bigger however was able to utilize his footwork as well as elite boxing ability to befuddle as well as punish Alvarez.Editor's Picks2 RelatedCanelo has actually sustained the whole time that he's a much better competitor than Bivol and also his surgically fixed hand will help him confirm it in a rematch. This would likewise be actually a heritage battle. Canelo will possess the opportunity to not merely become indisputable champ at a second weight lesson, yet also vindicate the second loss of his profession (the various other loss protested Floyd Mayweather in 2013). What continues to be to be found: Bivol's determination to battle Canelo again. When the rematch was reviewed during the course of the summer months of 2023, Bivol was actually unfaltering that the match should happen at 168 pounds for Canelo's indisputable championship. Alvarez pointed out the fight required to occur at 175.

On the other hand, a lot of Alimkhanuly's previous enemies have entered the band along with insecurity, determined by the buzz neighboring the champion. This moment Alimkhanuly discovers himself outside his convenience area, facing a determined, prepared opposition. Although this is Mikhailovich's first match against a first-rate opponent, the stakes are high as well as he has every little thing to gain. The question is actually, can he avoid getting knocked out early? Or can he injure the champion early to acquire respect?I presume Mikhailovich's unrelenting type might trouble Alimkhanuly's counterpunching design, particularly given that Alimkhanuly has merely gone the comprehensive 12 arounds once in his career. For Mikhailovich, making it through the very early spheres and taking the match deep will definitely be actually key. Alimkhanuly's capacity to adjust and stand up to Mikhailovich's aggression and punching electrical power is going to be exciting to see.-- BradleyReal or not: Joshua will not take the rematch with Dubois nextDaniel Dubois, straight, tore down Anthony Joshua 4 opportunities throughout his fifth-round KO victory to defend the IBF heavyweight planet headline.

As well as this moment he would be paid out more.It was a disorderly, amusing and also awesome fight the very first time around, which would swell pay-per-view purchases for a rematch. Yet since Dubois vs. Joshua 2 necessities to occur in the wintertime and the U.K. simply has one arena with a roofing system (Principality Arena in Cardiff, Wales, which possesses a capability of 74,500), it would certainly be an unpleasant surprise to view this fight land at a U.K. venue.Turki Alalshikh, the absolute most effective have a place in punching that regulates schedules that happen on Saudi Arabia-backed boxing activities, will certainly be interested for such a big battle-- one of the biggest boxing may offer following year-- happening in Saudi Arabia.Matchroom marketer Eddie Hearn, who resources Joshua's occupation, points out Joshua has actually actually agreed phrases, while Frank Warren, Dubois' promoter, claims Dubois will certainly deal with again in February.

What was much more excellent was actually Round's split selection get Raymond Ford, that was actually earlier undefeated, for the WBA belt, back in June in Riyadh.Rios (34-4, 17 KOs), 34, has certainly not been as energetic or even in the very same kind as Round, that will certainly contain fire for his 1st globe headline protection facing his home city fans.
