Bivol: I was upset when Kovalev lost to Alvarez

WBA light heavyweight champion Dmitry Bivol shared his thoughts about the defeat of Sergey Kovalev to Elaider Alvarez, and also commented on the possibility of holding a duel with the winner of the rematch between Sergey and Eleider.

“It was a little unfortunate. We know each other and we have common friends. We've talked before. It's not pleasant to see someone you know, an acquaintance, goes down like that. I thought he was going to win the fight. We also had some plans about possibly fighting next. A lot of that kind of fell apart. It was a little disappointing.

“As I always say, right now I'm focused on the fight with Jean Pascal on November 24th. I want to fight the best after that, if everything goes well. Whoever is wanting to fight, I want to unify titles and become the undisputed champion,” Bivol said.
