Mexican boxing superstar and reigning undisputed super middleweight champion Saul Canelo Alvarez (58-2-2, 39 KOs) has not given up trying to take the WBA Super belt from Russian light heavyweight Dmitry Bivol (21-0, 11 KOs), whom he lost in May. The rematch is tentatively scheduled for September next year.
Rumors are circulating on the sidelines that Canelo wants to slightly increase his chances and for this reason allegedly insists on holding the fight at a catchweight. mexican it
denies: “The fight will take place at the same weight as the first fight. No options. I know that I can beat him. And it’s not that I believe in it. I know it. Revenge is my #1 priority.”
Canelo is expected to return to the ring in May. With a high degree of probability, he will fight with the holder of the interim WBO super middleweight title – the winner of the fight between the British Zack Parker and John Ryder, which will take place on November 26 in London (England).
The other day, Ryder explained why he should be Canelo’s next opponent. Meanwhile, Bivol jokes, because he has other priorities: “After Beterbiev, I will drink and forget about boxing.”
