WBA Russian light heavyweight world champion Dmitry Bivol said that a potential fight with the owner of the compatriot of the WBC, IBF, WBO belts Artur Beterbiev in terms of excitement will not exceed his meeting with the Mexican Saul Alvarez .
Bivol last May defeated Alvarez in Las Vegas by unanimous decision. Earlier, the 32-year-old athlete’s manager Vadim Kornilov in an interview with said that the Russian side had started negotiations for a rematch with Canelo.
– Can your fight with Beterbiev surpass the encounter with Canelo in terms of excitement?
– Today – hardly. In Russia, he will surpass him, on the world stage – this is unlikely. Despite the fact that the sports component (in the duel with Beterbiev) will be present. Canelo is number one in the media in boxing,” Bivol told reporters.
Beterbiev will defend his belts on January 28 in London against Briton Anthony Yarde.
