Next fight of the WBA light heavyweight champion Dmitry Bivol scheduled for September-October, but it will not be a rematch with the Mexican Saul Alvarez who only talks about the desire to hold a second fight, but does not get down to business, the Russian boxer’s manager Vadim Kornilov told .
Bivol beat Alvarez by unanimous decision last May. The contract for this fight included a rematch option, which the Mexican, according to statements in an interview, plans to use.
– We expect Dmitry to return to the ring in September-October. I guess it won’t be a rematch with Canelo. Alvarez keeps saying he wants to fight Dimitri again, but has already had two other fights. And now Canelo’s team are negotiating other options – Jermell Charlo, David Benavidez, Badu Jack. They are clearly looking for another option, but not a rematch with Bivol. I doubt the fight will happen at least in the near future, Kornilov told .
The undefeated Bivol has 21 victories in the professional ring. The Russian has been recognized as the best boxer of 2022 by numerous publications and organizations, including the WBA. Alvarez has 59 wins, two losses and two draws.
