Haney is looking for loss for supposed battery as well as violation of arrangement, and many more points, pertaining to Garcia's good PED exam after their April junior welterweight label fight in New york city. Will certainly the rematch still happen?Following his decision victory over Edgar Berlanga on Sept. 14, Canelo Alvarez stated he would certainly such as a rematch along with Dmitry Bivol, if Bivol defeats Artur Beterbiev in a defend the undisputed illumination heavyweight champion on Oct. 12. Alvarez moved up to 175 pounds in May 2022 and lost a consensual selection to Bivol, and he has actually been looking to get even given that. May the fight be created if Bivol wins?Anthony Joshua was close to getting a fight versus the champion of the Oleksandr Usyk vs. Tyson Violence big-time champion rematch. He required to beat Daniel Dubois on Sept. 21, however rather was brought down 4 opportunities en route to a fifth-round KO reduction. A rematch with Dubois may be the only method for Joshua to get back to the headline image. Is going to Joshua take it?Friday night in Australia, Janibek Alimkhanuly will make an effort to guard his IBF middleweight headline against Andrei Mikhailovich.

Cris Esqueda/Golden Boy/Getty ImagesNot real. If just about anything, the suit could pave the way for a settlement deal that includes an offer for a rematch. The profit spell in between Garcia and also Haney is actually simply extremely significant to refuse, for both the competitors and the sport.There's the great debate complying with Garcia's good test and subsequent 1 year ban. Haney asserts the PEDs caused Garcia's stunning efficiency, in addition to the simple fact Garcia was 3.2 pounds obese. Each infractions are actually key to the lawsuit.Haney was as long as a 9-1 beloved but was actually knocked down three attend a distressed loss that was eventually rescinded to a no competition. The battle was electrifying, as well as the 2nd struggle stands up to be a ticket office bonanza.After all of, the prevailing thought heading in to the April competition was actually that Haney would certainly dominate. Garcia's behavior in the buildup of the fight was actually therefore negligent that there was reputable are afraid the fight would not take place at all.Now, along with all the poor blood stream in between the fighters along with Garcia's expanding superstar power and also his performance against Haney (benefits in spite of), there will be actually huge interest in a rematch. The claim just contributes to the dramatization and could be the actual factor that helps unite the issues to bring in the rematch happen.-- CoppingerReal or not: If Bivol reduces Beterbiev, he'll be actually the favored to combat Alvarez in MayLight heavyweight champion Dmitry Bivol, left, defeated Canelo Alvarez by consentaneous selection in 2022. Etienne Laurent/EPA-EFEReal. Canelo told ESPN final month that he was actually targeting a rematch should Bivol gain following week. As well as why certainly not? Canelo was a primary preference versus his previous four opponents as well as has actually been extensively slammed for his level of competition.Against Bivol, Canelo will be a chosen longshot. Bivol routed Alvarez when they complied with in May 2022, even with the slim directories. Bivol is actually certainly not simply greater but managed to use his footwork and also best punching ability to bewilder and reprimand Alvarez.Editor's Picks2 RelatedCanelo has actually maintained all along that he's a much better competitor than Bivol which his operatively restored palm is going to aid him show it in a rematch. This would certainly also be a tradition match. Canelo would certainly possess the opportunity to certainly not merely end up being undisputed champ at a second weight lesson, yet additionally vindicate the 2nd loss of his job (the various other disappointment protested Floyd Mayweather in 2013). What continues to be to be seen: Bivol's willingness to deal with Canelo once more. When the rematch was reviewed throughout the summer season of 2023, Bivol was unfaltering that the fight must take place at 168 pounds for Canelo's recognized champion. Alvarez pointed out the fight required to happen at 175. Whatever weight they settle on, this battle is actually easily the most effective alternative for Canelo if he is actually not going to face either David Benavidez or Terence Crawford. Yet Bivol first has a remarkable obstacle to experience against Beterbiev.-- CoppingerReal or not: Mikhailovich will dethrone AlimkhanulyJanibek Alimkhanuly, left behind, puts his IBF middleweight world title vulnerable against Andrei Mikhailovich on Friday in Australia. Mikey Williams/Top RankReal: Mikhailovich, of New Zealand, is actually entering the supplant Australia with a brutal sense of task. He is actually an aggressive and also courageous fighter that appears ready to discharge after taking a trip to the united state months ago to fight, just to find out that Alimkhanuly failed to bring in body weight as well as the fight was actually postponed.Mikhailovich is actually a powerful puncher, and punchers are willing to engage to land their strikes, so I expect him to do only that. In contrast, a lot of Alimkhanuly's previous rivals have gone into the ring with insecurity, affected by the buzz bordering the champion. This moment Alimkhanuly discovers himself outside his comfort region, dealing with an identified, prepared challenger. Although this is actually Mikhailovich's very first battle against an outstanding challenger, the concerns are high as well as he has whatever to acquire. The concern is actually, can he steer clear of acquiring knocked senseless early? Or may he hurt the champion early to get respect?I believe Mikhailovich's relentless type can impose on Alimkhanuly's counterpunching design, especially given that Alimkhanuly has actually just gone the comprehensive 12 rounds once in his occupation. For Mikhailovich, enduring the early rounds as well as taking the match deep will definitely be actually key. Alimkhanuly's potential to adapt and also stand up to Mikhailovich's aggression and also punching energy will be actually fun to enjoy.-- BradleyReal or otherwise: Joshua is going to certainly not get the rematch with Dubois nextDaniel Dubois, straight, tore down Anthony Joshua 4 times in the course of his fifth-round KO victory to shield the IBF heavyweight planet headline. Richard Pelham/Getty ImagesNot real. Joshua, punching's largest earner behind Canelo, has gone coming from closing with it a large, profitable face-off along with the winner of the Dec. 21 Usyk vs. Fury battle, to overcoming to keep his title applicable at boxing's leading desk. To put himself back into significant combat for a megafight in 2025, Joshua needs to have to gain back some reputation after final month's five-round KO loss to Dubois, and also the only way he can do that is with a quick rematch.Though his promoter, Matchroom, may certainly not acknowledge, Joshua will not mind taking the skinny edge of a deal that will certainly see him experience Dubois in a sequel, this time around in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, potentially on Feb. 22, given that it supplies him the quickest route back. The champion of the Dubois vs. Joshua rematch will progress to encounter the victor of Usyk vs. Fury 2 in summertime 2025, possibly back at Greater london's Wembley Stadium, the performance of Joshua's embarrassing 4 presentations versus Dubois before a UK-record 96,000 enthusiasts two full weeks back. That battle may be for all 4 major big-time world titles.Two-time champion Joshua (28-4, 25 KOs), that turns 35 this month, has actually put away suggestions coming from former boxers including Barry McGuigan that he need to resign, amidst hesitations as to whether he is actually dropping protection to power punches.Dubois (22-2, 21 KOs), 27, is also up for a rematch and also will certainly fancy his opportunities versus his drunk English rival. And this moment he will be actually paid for more.It was a disorderly, enjoyable and exhilarating match the first time around, which will swell pay-per-view sales for a rematch. However because Dubois vs. Joshua 2 necessities to take place in the winter season as well as the U.K. only has one coliseum along with a roof (Principality Coliseum in Cardiff, Wales, which possesses a capability of 74,500), it would certainly be actually an unpleasant surprise to find this fight land at a U.K. venue.Turki Alalshikh, the best powerful have a place in punching who regulates lineups that take place on Saudi Arabia-backed boxing events, are going to be actually eager for such a huge match-- some of the biggest boxing may offer upcoming year-- happening in Saudi Arabia.Matchroom marketer Eddie Hearn, that overviews Joshua's occupation, states Joshua has actually presently agreed terms, while Frank Warren, Dubois' marketer, mentions Dubois will certainly fight again in February. Warren has likewise conveyed his gusto for an immediate rematch, thus anticipate it to occur.-- ParkinsonReal or otherwise: Round will shield his WBA featherweight headline against RiosNick Sphere, left, gained the WBA featherweight label by beating Raymond Ford in June. Richard Pelham/Getty ImagesReal. Ball has actually been hungry, sharp and occupied symphonious approximately elite amount over the in 2013, even in battles where he didn't have his hand raised. The Liverpool-based 5-foot-2 pugilist carries out certainly not seem to be to become bothered by a height negative aspect in world title matches and also was actually unfortunate to become refuted victory in a crack draw against Rey Vargas, the WBC featherweight titleholder, in March. What was actually a lot more excellent was actually Sphere's crack decision sway Raymond Ford, that was actually earlier unbeaten, for the WBA belt, back in June in Riyadh.Rios (34-4, 17 KOs), 34, has actually certainly not been actually as active or in the very same type as Sphere, that will certainly have plenty of fire for his initial world title protection in front of his home urban area enthusiasts. Ball (20-0-1, 11 KOs), 27, should take care, as Rios enrolled an impressive fifth-round KO of Nicolas Polanco in April, yet that was the Californian's 1st outing in almost 2 years. Vargas additionally outpointed Rios in 2017, and Murodjon Akhmadaliev stopped Rios in the last round for the WBA as well as IBF junior light planet titles in June 2022. Round's electricity as well as desire will certainly find him defend his WBA waistband with a decision victory.-- Parkinson.
