Canelo Alvarez on next fight: ‘It’s very important to beat Bivol and I’ll beat him’

The absolute world champion in the super middleweight (up to 76.2 kg) Saul “Canelo” Alvarez (58-2-2, 39 KOs), who a couple of hours ago defeated Gennady “GGG” Golovkin (42-2- 1, 37 KO), knows what he will do in the next fight.

In May, Canelo tried to return to light heavyweight (up to 79.4 kg) and immediately take the WBA champion belt there, beating his owner Dmitry Bivol (20-0, 11 KOs). It turned out unsuccessfully – the latter visually simply outboxed the Mexican.

So as for the future, everything is simple, said the winner of today’s fight, – you need to get even for this defeat.
