“The rematch with Bivol is the biggest of Alvarez’s career.” And yet Hearn suggests not to rush

British promoter Eddie Hearn, who is currently pursuing a career as the absolute champion of the super middleweight division (up to 76.2 kg) Saul “Canelo” Alvarez (58-2-2, 39 KOs), and the WBA Super title holder Russian Dmitry Bivol (21- 0, 11 KOs), made it clear that the rematch would not be difficult to coordinate and organize, given the desire of both boxers, as well as his direct involvement in the processes.

However, to begin with, the Mexican wants to make sure that everything will be fine with his hand after the surgery, and to this end, he is expected to make a mandatory WBO defense against “interim” British champion John Ryder in May.

“The first thing to note is that the Canelo-Bivol rematch is far from settled. Although, of course, the fact that I represent both fighters greatly increases the chances of arranging everything, ”Hearn emphasized in an interview.
DAZN. – The main question for Dmitry Bivol: do you want to take the fight in 76.2 kg? Preliminary answer: yes. He has a chance to become the undisputed champion at 76.2 kg, and some even see him as a favorite after what happened in their first fight.

“Canelo still wants to fight in May, and our plan is to fight John Ryder, although there are some other options,” said the promoter. – Saul has several mandatory applicants, besides, he is now returning after surgery on his hand. I think Canelo is determined to come back and make sure his hand is okay before we go into the biggest fight of his career, which is the Bivol rematch.”
