On Tuesday, March 22, the sale of tickets for the fight starts Saul Alvarez (57-1-2, 39 KOs) vs. Dmitry Bivol (19-0, 11 KOs). The fight will be the main event of the evening, organized on May 7 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
Ticket sales are planned, despite the controversy surrounding this event. Many people from the boxing world, including the Klitschko brothers, are calling for Canelo to change his opponent.
In the upcoming fight, Bivol will not be able to compete under the Russian flag or listen to his anthem, but there are more and more opinions that the Russian boxer should be banned from holding this fight altogether, for which he will earn his record fee. According to the agreement signed with the DAZN platform, Canelo should earn more than $40 million for the performance in May.
The Russian is the WBA light heavyweight champion, but the World Boxing Association has announced that it will not sanction fights involving Russian boxers. This means that only a Mexican can win the championship title in this fight.
