Bivol dreamed of having arms like Mike Tyson's.

Dmitry Bivol, WBA light-heavyweight champion of the world, told what he dreamed of as a child.

"One of my favorite boxers. When I started boxing, I dreamed very much of having hands as big and as strong as Mike Tyson's. I had that dream. To win my opponents as fast as Mike Tyson.Yeah, I saw that news [about the Tyson and Paul fight] too. It's probably one of those instances where I wouldn't want that kind of fight at that age. I don't think Mike is doing it because he's so eager to fight. I think it's more the financial situation that pushes him to do it. Here's one example of those fears. What can I say? Still, age plays a big part. After 30 years old it's not like that, but after 50, I think, every year is already strongly felt. First of all, it's a reaction.
