WBA Russian light heavyweight champion Dmitry Bivol On , he said his sporting career was entering the final stretch.
Bivol, recognized as the best boxer of 2022 according to many versions, has 21 victories in the professional ring (11 by knockout) and not a single defeat. Last November, Bivol defeated Mexican Gilberto Ramirez by unanimous decision. The Russian boxer will turn 33 in December.
“I don’t want to guess how long I’ll be boxing, but I understand that it’s already kind of the home stretch. If we look at the age at which a boxer approaches 40, then it is already the end of his career. To be honest, I wouldn’t want to step into the ring at forty. I don’t see myself like that. I hope I’ll be in boxing, participating in it in some way, but not as an athlete in the ring.
Of course, I would like to stay partly in this sport, but besides that, I would also like to learn something new about life. Since I was six years old, when I started boxing, there was nothing in my head. I am learning now and have always learned something interesting in other fields of activity. There are a lot of interesting things in the world, I would like to change, but partly stay in boxing,” Bivol said on the air of the show “Everyone for the match!” on .
