The Russian WBA Super light heavyweight champion (up to 79.4 kg) Dmitry Bivol (19-0, 11 KOs) is sure that he has something to unpleasantly surprise the Mexican favorite, the absolute champion of the super middleweight division Canelo Alvarez (57-1- 2, 39 KOs) in their upcoming match on May 7.
According to Dmitry, he has something that Alvarez has never met before.
“I feel like this is my division and my belt. I must win. He (Canelo) is moving into my weight and I have to beat him. I have no other thoughts,” Bivol assured. All fighters are different. Maybe before he met such speed as mine, the same power and mobility as mine. But I’m sure he’s never seen such a combination (of all this) as I have before. I think that will make the fight tough for him.”
“I’m just different. If you want to succeed, whether in boxing or anywhere else, you have to believe in yourself. Believe in your abilities, believe in your mind and in your body, – said Dmitry. – Now I have a chance to show my skills to many, many boxing fans. This is exactly what I wanted when I came to professional boxing. I believe only in my victory. If you want to succeed, then without faith – nowhere.
