is going throughthat Bivol could very well spoil all the plans of the Mexican superstar: “Canelo vs Bivol is an extremely difficult fight, because Dmitry is an absolutely fresh fighter. He’s never had any problems in the ring before. He was never shaken and he beat reigning world champion Joe Smith with no money at all. And Bivol is dangerous, because he has been waiting for this chance for a very long time. But to beat Canelo, you have to perform at the pound level. Yeah, this dude is really good.”
“I saw Canelo. I asked him: “Well, how? Are you ready?” I saw the answer in his eyes. It was directly written: “Oh, yes!” This is a great fight. Really very difficult. This is one of the toughest challenges of Canelo’s career.”
Meanwhile the boss TGB Promotions Tom Brown claims they offered Canelo $55 million to fight Spence.
