Cris Esqueda/Golden Boy/Getty ImagesNot real. If anything, the suit might lead the way for a resolution that consists of a deal for a rematch. The gain stint between Garcia as well as Haney is just too huge to skip, for both the fighters and also the sport.There's the astounding conflict following Garcia's favorable test and subsequential one-year ban. Haney claims the PEDs resulted in Garcia's surprising efficiency, along with the simple fact Garcia was 3.2 extra pounds obese. Both offenses are crucial to the lawsuit.Haney was actually as much as a 9-1 favored however was knocked down 3 times in a dismayed reduction that was later reversed to a no contest. The battle was electrifying, and the second bout stands to become a ticket office bonanza.After all, the prevailing thought heading in to the April competition was actually that Haney would certainly dominate. Garcia's behavior in the buildup of the battle was therefore careless that there was actually legitimate are afraid the fight wouldn't happen at all.Now, along with all the negative blood between the competitors along with Garcia's expanding star power and also his performance versus Haney (advantages regardless of), there will be actually enormous enthusiasm in a rematch. The suit merely adds to the dramatization and also might be the very trait that assists bridge the issues to bring in the rematch occur.-- CoppingerReal or otherwise: If Bivol defeats Beterbiev, he'll be the beloved to combat Alvarez in MayLight heavyweight champion Dmitry Bivol, left behind, defeated Canelo Alvarez by unanimous decision in 2022. Etienne Laurent/EPA-EFEReal. Canelo told ESPN final month that he was targeting a rematch needs to Bivol win following full week. As well as why not? Canelo was actually a major preference versus his previous 4 rivals as well as has been actually commonly slammed for his level of competition.Against Bivol, Canelo would certainly be a made a decision underdog. Bivol routed Alvarez when they met in May 2022, regardless of the slender directories. Bivol is not simply larger however managed to utilize his footwork as well as elite boxing ability to bewilder and also punish Alvarez.Editor's Picks2 RelatedCanelo has actually maintained the whole time that he's a far better boxer than Bivol and also his surgically mended palm is going to aid him prove it in a rematch. This will also be a tradition fight. Canelo will have the possibility to not just become undeniable champ at a 2nd weight training class, however additionally retaliate the second loss of his career (the various other disappointment was against Floyd Mayweather in 2013). What stays to be seen: Bivol's desire to combat Canelo once again. When the rematch was reviewed during the summer of 2023, Bivol was staunch that the fight has to happen at 168 pounds for Canelo's recognized championship. Alvarez mentioned the fight required to happen at 175. Whatever body weight they pick, this battle is actually without a doubt the best option for Canelo if he is actually not going to encounter either David Benavidez or even Terence Crawford.

He's an aggressive and courageous boxer who appears all set to discharge after traveling to the U.S. months ago to combat, merely to discover that Alimkhanuly neglected to create body weight and the match was actually postponed.Mikhailovich is an effective puncher, as well as punchers agree to take on to land their strikes, so I anticipate him to do only that. In contrast, many of Alimkhanuly's previous opponents have entered into the ring with insecurity, determined due to the buzz encompassing the champion. This time Alimkhanuly locates himself outside his convenience zone, experiencing an established, willing opposition. Although this is actually Mikhailovich's initial fight against a world-class enemy, the risks are high and also he possesses everything to acquire. The concern is actually, can he stay away from obtaining knocked out early? Or even may he harm the champion early to gain respect?I assume Mikhailovich's relentless design might trouble Alimkhanuly's counterpunching type, particularly given that Alimkhanuly has just gone the complete 12 arounds when in his occupation. For Mikhailovich, surviving the very early rounds as well as taking the battle deep will be actually vital. Alimkhanuly's potential to conform and also hold up against Mikhailovich's hostility as well as punching energy will be actually fun to view.-- BradleyReal or not: Joshua is going to not get the rematch with Dubois nextDaniel Dubois, right, brought down Anthony Joshua 4 times throughout his fifth-round KO triumph to protect the IBF abundant planet label.

The champion of the Dubois vs. Joshua rematch would certainly proceed to face the winner of Usyk vs. Frenzy 2 in summertime 2025, probably back at London's Wembley Coliseum, the performance of Joshua's humiliating four knockdowns versus Dubois facing a UK-record 96,000 enthusiasts pair of full weeks earlier.

The Liverpool-based 5-foot-2 fighter carries out not appear to be bothered through a height disadvantage in world headline matches and also was actually regrettable to become rejected triumph in a crack draw versus Rey Vargas, the WBC featherweight holder, in March. What was actually more remarkable was Round's split decision draw Raymond Ford, that was formerly unbeaten, for the WBA waistband, back in June in Riyadh.Rios (34-4, 17 KOs), 34, has not been actually as active or in the exact same form as Round, who are going to be full of fire for his initial world label protection before his home urban area followers.
