“Canelo is building a great boxing career. Now he will fight with the undefeated Bivol, but Dmitry has excellent chances of winning.
I advise Bivol to believe in himself and not to overestimate Canelo. I overestimated my opponents several times - in this case, you just kill yourself in the hall. Dmitry, just be yourself, be confident in your skills and in your boxing school.
I am very happy for Bivol. This is a great opportunity, because he had a rest, he had not performed for a long time. He has strength and energy, so he can beat Canelo, ”Kovalev said in an interview with Fight Hub TV.
