Bivol accused Alvarez of disrupting the rematch: “He was bluffing”

WBA World Light Heavyweight Champion Dmitry Bivol believes that the owner of all major belts Saul Alvarez in fact, I never wanted to have a rematch with him, despite the fact that he constantly talked about this fight in public.

“He was bluffing about wanting to fight me. I knew it. I really don't want to fight him on the same terms as in the first fight. Why should I go for it?

Before that, I told him "yes", agreed to all his conditions. I like my current position. If Canelo wants to fight me, fine, let him put his titles on the line. We can agree to this. Have you ever heard that after a victory a fighter went out for revenge under the same conditions? I have never heard such a thing.

I want to fight in September or October. Our plan is to perform in September, October or maybe November. To be honest, the fight with Canelo could have happened. If he wanted a fight, then we would start discussing it. But we didn't start because he didn't want to fight. He wanted to fight Golovkin and Ryder, but did not want to discuss the fight against me with my team. It was just talk. I will not sit and wait for him, ”ProBox TV quotes Bivol.
