He needed to have to defeat Daniel Dubois on Sept. 21, but as an alternative was actually knocked down 4 opportunities en route to a fifth-round KO reduction.

Cris Esqueda/Golden Boy/Getty ImagesNot real. If anything, the claim could possibly pave the way for a settlement that features a package for a rematch. The gain stint between Garcia and Haney is actually merely too big to miss, for both the competitors and also the sport.There's the tremendous conflict observing Garcia's beneficial exam and subsequential 1 year ban. Haney states the PEDs resulted in Garcia's surprising functionality, in addition to the fact Garcia was 3.2 pounds obese. Each offenses are actually key to the lawsuit.Haney was as long as a 9-1 preferred yet was actually knocked down 3 times in a distressed reduction that was actually later on rescinded to a no contest. The match was exhilarating, as well as the second match stands to become a ticket office bonanza.After all, the prevailing idea heading in to the April competition was that Haney would certainly control. Garcia's actions in the build-up of the battle was so negligent that there was actually legitimate fear the match wouldn't happen at all.Now, along with all the negative blood between the boxers alongside Garcia's developing superstar power as well as his functionality versus Haney (benefits notwithstanding), there would be immense passion in a rematch. The lawsuit simply adds to the dramatization and may be the exact point that assists connect the issues to bring in the rematch occur.-- CoppingerReal or otherwise: If Bivol defeats Beterbiev, he'll be the favorite to fight Alvarez in MayLight big-time champ Dmitry Bivol, left behind, reduced Canelo Alvarez by unanimous choice in 2022. Etienne Laurent/EPA-EFEReal. Canelo told ESPN final month that he was targeting a rematch must Bivol succeed following week. As well as why not? Canelo was actually a major preference versus his past four challengers and has been commonly criticized for his amount of competition.Against Bivol, Canelo would certainly be a made a decision longshot. Bivol transmitted Alvarez when they satisfied in May 2022, in spite of the slender scorecards. Bivol is not merely bigger however was able to utilize his footwork as well as best punching potential to befuddle and also penalize Alvarez.Editor's Picks2 RelatedCanelo has preserved during that he is actually a better competitor than Bivol and also his surgically repaired palm will help him verify it in a rematch. This will also be actually a legacy fight. Canelo will possess the chance to certainly not only end up being undisputed champion at a second weight lesson, yet likewise avenge the 2nd loss of his profession (the other defeat was against Floyd Mayweather in 2013). What stays to become found: Bivol's desire to battle Canelo once more. When the rematch was covered during the course of the summer of 2023, Bivol was enduring that the battle needs to take place at 168 extra pounds for Canelo's unquestioned championship. Alvarez said the fight required to occur at 175. Whatever body weight they settle on, this battle is actually by far the most effective possibility for Canelo if he's not heading to experience either David Benavidez or even Terence Crawford. However Bivol first possesses a tremendous obstacle to experience versus Beterbiev.-- CoppingerReal or not: Mikhailovich will certainly depose AlimkhanulyJanibek Alimkhanuly, left, places his IBF middleweight world label on the line versus Andrei Mikhailovich on Friday in Australia. Mikey Williams/Top RankReal: Mikhailovich, of New Zealand, is actually entering the supplant Australia with a strong feeling of duty. He's a threatening as well as courageous competitor that seems prepared to discharge after taking a trip to the USA months ago to overcome, simply to uncover that Alimkhanuly fallen short to make body weight and also the fight was actually postponed.Mikhailovich is actually a strong puncher, and also punchers want to engage to land their strikes, so I expect him to accomplish just that. In contrast, much of Alimkhanuly's previous enemies have actually gone into the ring along with insecurity, determined by the hype surrounding the champ. This moment Alimkhanuly locates themself outside his comfort area, facing a found out, eager challenger. Although this is actually Mikhailovich's 1st fight versus a first-rate challenger, the concerns are actually high and he possesses every thing to obtain. The inquiry is actually, can he stay clear of obtaining knocked out early? Or even can easily he hurt the champion early to acquire respect?I assume Mikhailovich's unrelenting design could possibly trouble Alimkhanuly's counterpunching style, particularly given that Alimkhanuly has actually merely gone the full 12 arounds when in his occupation. For Mikhailovich, making it through the early spheres and also taking the match deep will definitely be actually key. Alimkhanuly's capability to adjust as well as tolerate Mikhailovich's hostility and also drilling power will certainly be fun to view.-- BradleyReal or not: Joshua will certainly certainly not take the rematch along with Dubois nextDaniel Dubois, right, tore down Anthony Joshua four opportunities during the course of his fifth-round KO triumph to fight for the IBF abundant planet headline. Richard Pelham/Getty ImagesNot real. Joshua, boxing's largest earner responsible for Canelo, has gone from closing in on a big, beneficial showdown along with the champion of the Dec. 21 Usyk vs. Rage match, to fighting to keep his label appropriate at punching's top desk. To place themself back in to serious combat for a megafight in 2025, Joshua requires to regain some reliability after last month's five-round KO defeat to Dubois, and also the only method he may do that is along with an urgent rematch.Though his marketer, Matchroom, might certainly not concede, Joshua will not mind taking the slim edge of a package that are going to find him face Dubois in a follow up, this time around in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, potentially on Feb. 22, because it supplies him the quickest path back. The champion of the Dubois vs. Joshua rematch would certainly proceed to face the victor of Usyk vs. Fierceness 2 in summer season 2025, perhaps back at Greater london's Wembley Stadium, the scene of Joshua's humiliating 4 knockdowns against Dubois facing a UK-record 96,000 fans two full weeks ago. That match can be for all 4 significant big-time world titles.Two-time champ Joshua (28-4, 25 KOs), who turns 35 this month, has presently put away pointers coming from former boxers including Barry McGuigan that he ought to retire, surrounded by hesitations concerning whether he is actually losing resistance to power punches.Dubois (22-2, 21 KOs), 27, is actually likewise up for a rematch as well as will fancy his odds against his shaken English rival. As well as this moment he will be paid more.It was a chaotic, entertaining and also thrilling fight the first time around, which would certainly swell pay-per-view purchases for a rematch. But given that Dubois vs. Joshua 2 requirements to happen in the wintertime and the U.K. simply has one stadium with a roof (Principality Coliseum in Cardiff, Wales, which possesses a capability of 74,500), it will be actually an unpleasant surprise to view this battle land at a U.K. venue.Turki Alalshikh, one of the most powerful have a place in punching that regulates lineups that occur on Saudi Arabia-backed punching events, will definitely be actually keen for such a huge fight-- one of the greatest punching can deliver next year-- happening in Saudi Arabia.Matchroom promoter Eddie Hearn, who guides Joshua's job, points out Joshua has already acknowledged terms, while Frank Warren, Dubois' marketer, claims Dubois will deal with once more in February. Warren has actually also shown his fervency for an instant rematch, thus expect it to take place.-- ParkinsonReal or not: Ball will definitely shield his WBA featherweight title against RiosNick Ball, left behind, won the WBA featherweight title through defeating Raymond Ford in June. Richard Pelham/Getty ImagesReal. Ball has been starving, sharp and also busy symphonious approximately best amount over the in 2014, also in fights where he didn't possess his palm elevated. The Liverpool-based 5-foot-2 boxer does not appear to become worried about by an elevation downside in globe title fights and was unfortunate to be denied victory in a crack draw versus Rey Vargas, the WBC featherweight titleholder, in March. What was a lot more outstanding was actually Ball's crack selection win over Raymond Ford, that was actually earlier unbeaten, 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 exact same form as Sphere, that will certainly have plenty of fire for his very first world headline defense in front of his home metropolitan area enthusiasts. Ball (20-0-1, 11 KOs), 27, need to beware, as Rios enrolled an excellent fifth-round KO of Nicolas Polanco in April, however that was the Californian's initial trip in almost two years. Vargas likewise outpointed Rios in 2017, as well as Murodjon Akhmadaliev stopped Rios in the last round for the WBA and IBF junior lightweight world titles in June 2022. Round's electricity as well as wish are going to observe him shield his WBA belt along with a decision victory.-- Parkinson.
