May the match be actually made if Bivol wins?Anthony Joshua was close to obtaining a fight against the victor of the Oleksandr Usyk vs. Tyson Frenzy heavyweight champion rematch. He required to defeat Daniel Dubois on Sept. 21, but instead was actually knocked down 4 times en option to a fifth-round KO reduction.

Cris Esqueda/Golden Boy/Getty ImagesNot real. If anything, the legal action can pave the way for a resolution that features a deal for a rematch. The yield bout between Garcia and also Haney is actually simply extremely major to avoid, for both the boxers and also the sport.There's the tremendous dispute following Garcia's beneficial examination and subsequential one-year restriction. Haney declares the PEDs caused Garcia's surprising functionality, along with the reality Garcia was 3.2 extra pounds obese. Both infractions are crucial to the lawsuit.Haney was as much as a 9-1 favorite but was floored three times in an upset reduction that was actually later on reversed to a no competition. The match was actually electrifying, and the second fight stands up to be a box office bonanza.After all, the prevailing idea heading right into the April match was that Haney would control. Garcia's behavior in the accumulation of the fight was therefore reckless that there was actually genuine worry the struggle wouldn't occur at all.Now, along with all the bad blood in between the fighters in addition to Garcia's increasing superstar energy as well as his functionality versus Haney (conveniences in spite of), there would certainly be actually huge rate of interest in a rematch. The lawsuit simply adds to the dramatization and can be the very point that helps connect the issues to bring in the rematch occur.-- CoppingerReal or otherwise: If Bivol defeats Beterbiev, he'll be the favorite to overcome Alvarez in MayLight big-time champion Dmitry Bivol, left, reduced Canelo Alvarez by unanimous choice in 2022. Etienne Laurent/EPA-EFEReal. Canelo informed ESPN last month that he was targeting a rematch should Bivol gain next full week. And why certainly not? Canelo was a major preference versus his previous four opponents as well as has been actually commonly slammed for his amount of competition.Against Bivol, Canelo will be a decided longshot. Bivol directed Alvarez when they complied with in May 2022, in spite of the narrow scorecards. Bivol is certainly not merely larger but had the ability to utilize his footwork and also elite boxing capability to befuddle as well as penalize Alvarez.Editor's Picks2 RelatedCanelo has actually sustained during that he is actually a better fighter than Bivol and that his operatively restored hand will certainly aid him confirm it in a rematch. This would certainly likewise be actually a heritage battle. Canelo will possess the opportunity to certainly not merely become indisputable champ at a 2nd body weight lesson, but also avenge the second reduction of his profession (the other disappointment was against Floyd Mayweather in 2013). What stays to become observed: Bivol's readiness to fight Canelo again. When the rematch was talked about in the course of the summer season of 2023, Bivol was resolute that the bout should happen at 168 pounds for Canelo's indisputable championship. Alvarez mentioned the match needed to occur at 175. Whatever body weight they settle on, this match is without a doubt the greatest option for Canelo if he is actually certainly not heading to encounter either David Benavidez or Terence Crawford. Yet Bivol first possesses an incredible challenge to encounter against Beterbiev.-- CoppingerReal or otherwise: Mikhailovich will definitely degrade AlimkhanulyJanibek Alimkhanuly, left, places his IBF middleweight planet headline vulnerable versus Andrei Mikhailovich on Friday in Australia. Mikey Williams/Top RankReal: Mikhailovich, of New Zealand, is actually entering the ring in Australia along with a ferocious feeling of task. He's a threatening as well as fearless fighter that appears prepared to discharge after taking a trip to the USA months ago to combat, merely to discover that Alimkhanuly fallen short to bring in body weight and also the match was actually postponed.Mikhailovich is actually a highly effective puncher, and also punchers are willing to take on to land their strikes, so I anticipate him to do only that. On the other hand, a lot of Alimkhanuly's previous rivals have actually entered into the ring along with self-doubt, affected by the buzz encompassing the champ. This moment Alimkhanuly finds themself outside his convenience region, experiencing an identified, eager opposition. Although this is Mikhailovich's very first match versus an unparalleled opponent, the concerns are high and he has whatever to acquire. The question is, can he stay clear of obtaining knocked out early? Or can he hurt the champion early to obtain respect?I assume Mikhailovich's ruthless design might trouble Alimkhanuly's counterpunching style, specifically given that Alimkhanuly has actually simply gone the full 12 arounds when in his occupation. For Mikhailovich, making it through the early rounds and taking the match deep is going to be actually essential. Alimkhanuly's ability to adjust as well as withstand Mikhailovich's aggression and punching energy will definitely be actually enjoyable to view.-- BradleyReal or not: Joshua will not take the rematch along with Dubois nextDaniel Dubois, straight, brought down Anthony Joshua four times throughout his fifth-round KO success to defend the IBF abundant globe headline. Richard Pelham/Getty ImagesNot real. Joshua, boxing's largest income earner responsible for Canelo, has gone coming from closing with it a big, beneficial face-off with the victor of the Dec. 21 Usyk vs. Rage battle, to overcoming to maintain his title relevant at punching's top table. To place himself back into severe altercation for a megafight in 2025, Joshua needs to reclaim some reliability after final month's five-round KO defeat to Dubois, and also the only way he can do that is actually with a quick rematch.Though his promoter, Matchroom, might not concede, Joshua will not mind taking the thin side of a deal that are going to view him deal with Dubois in a follow up, this time around in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, potentially on Feb. 22, given that it delivers him the quickest option back. The winner of the Dubois vs. Joshua rematch would progress to deal with the winner of Usyk vs. Fierceness 2 in summer season 2025, probably back at Greater london's Wembley Coliseum, the scene of Joshua's humiliating four presentations against Dubois in front of a UK-record 96,000 enthusiasts two full weeks back. That fight might be for all four primary big-time globe titles.Two-time champion Joshua (28-4, 25 KOs), who turns 35 this month, has actually already dismissed tips from past boxers including Barry McGuigan that he should retire, among doubts in order to whether he is actually dropping protection to electrical power punches.Dubois (22-2, 21 KOs), 27, is actually also up for a rematch and also is going to fancy his odds versus his shaken English competitor. As well as this time around he would be paid out more.It was actually a turbulent, enjoyable as well as awesome match the first time around, which will swell pay-per-view purchases for a rematch. Yet since Dubois vs. Joshua 2 demands to occur in the wintertime and the U.K. only has one stadium along with a roofing (Principality Arena in Cardiff, Wales, which possesses a capability of 74,500), it will be an unpleasant surprise to see this battle land at a U.K. venue.Turki Alalshikh, the best effective figure in boxing that regulates lineups that happen on Saudi Arabia-backed punching events, will definitely be eager for such a large battle-- among the most significant punching may deliver next year-- taking place in Saudi Arabia.Matchroom marketer Eddie Hearn, who resources Joshua's profession, mentions Joshua has actually currently agreed phrases, while Frank Warren, Dubois' marketer, claims Dubois will certainly battle again in February. Warren has actually additionally conveyed his fervency for a prompt rematch, so expect it to take place.-- ParkinsonReal or otherwise: Round is going to protect his WBA featherweight label versus RiosNick Round, left behind, succeeded the WBA featherweight title through beating Raymond Ford in June. Richard Pelham/Getty ImagesReal. Ball has been famished, alert and also busy symphonious as much as best amount over the in 2013, even in fights where he failed to have his palm elevated. The Liverpool-based 5-foot-2 pugilist carries out certainly not seem to be to be troubled by a height negative aspect in world label battles as well as was regrettable to become refuted triumph in a split draw versus Rey Vargas, the WBC featherweight holder, in March. What was extra outstanding was Round's crack selection get Raymond Ford, who was actually formerly undefeated, for the WBA waistband, back in June in Riyadh.Rios (34-4, 17 KOs), 34, has actually certainly not been actually as active or even in the exact same form as Ball, that will definitely have plenty of fire for his initial world headline defense in front of his home city supporters. Sphere (20-0-1, 11 KOs), 27, have to make sure, as Rios registered a remarkable fifth-round KO of Nicolas Polanco in April, yet that was the Californian's very first getaway in practically pair of years. Vargas also outpointed Rios in 2017, and Murodjon Akhmadaliev stopped Rios in the final round for the WBA and also IBF junior featherweight planet titles in June 2022. Round's power and desire will certainly find him guard his WBA belt with a decision victory.-- Parkinson.
