Former WBA and IBF heavyweight champion Denis Lebedev said the holder of the WBA (Super) light heavyweight belt is Russian Dmitry Bivol will overcome all difficulties in the battle with the Mexican Gilberto Ramirez.
The fight between Bivol and Ramirez will take place on November 5 in Abu Dhabi. Bivol in the professional ring has won 20 wins in 20 fights (11 by knockout). In May, the 31-year-old boxer defeated fellow Mexican Saul Alvarez by unanimous decision and defended the championship title. Former WBO super middleweight champion Ramirez hasn’t lost a single one of 44 fights, winning 30 of them earlier than expected.
– Bivol is now in a space where there are no easy and passing fights. He used to chase the champion’s head, now all the suitors chase his head. When a champion is preparing, every sparring partner tries hard to give him trouble in order to be noticed and seen. So the champion is difficult even in preparation. Sometimes it’s harder to train than to fight. But in this case, it is not worth talking about. Ramirez has a high knockout percentage. But he competed in a different weight class.
Bivol in its weight, it is used to it, it is comfortable and practical. When Alvarez moved up the category, it wasn’t the same. I think that fact also takes place in this fight. But, knowing the attitude of Dima to the approach of the championship fights, here he does not take into account any indulgence, he listens to the maximum. Everything will be as before – exploration and a gradual increase in pace. Difficulties will be overcome over time. Bivol never prepares for a knockout, but if there is an opportunity, he will definitely take advantage of it. The advantage of Bivol is the sense of distance. It’s both legs and a good job with the front hand,” Lebedev told reporters.
