Bivol or Alvarez? Beterbiev chose a more attractive opponent

World champion according to WBC, WBO and IBF light heavyweight Arthur Beterbiev admitted that the unification match with Dmitry Bivol he is more interested in than a box office fight with the owner of all belts in the second middle division Saul Alvarez.

“Honestly, between Alvarez and Bivol, I would choose Dmitry because I need another title. I don’t know what I can take from Canelo. He competes in a lighter category and needs to move up in weight. It will be better for him if he gets up and tries to fight me. But I would choose Bivol,” Beterbiev said in an interview with the YouTube channel Fight Hub TV.

Let us remind you that on January 13 in Quebec, Canada, Beterbiev will defend his title in a fight with Callum Smith.
