WBA World Light Heavyweight Champion Coach Dmitry Bivol (19-0, 13 KOs) Gennady Mashyanov promises that the king of super middleweight, the leader of modern boxing Saul Alvarez (57-1-2, 39 KOs) will be surprised when he enters the ring against the Russian on May 7 in Las Vegas.

“I was looking forward to this fight and it was only a matter of time. Bivol and Alvarez are the top super middleweights and light heavyweights. I cannot reveal the details of our tactical plan, but I want Dmitry to be completely at his disposal and give the fans a great spectacle at the highest level. Canelo will be shocked because he has never fought an opponent of the caliber of Bivol,” said Mashyanov.

“Dmitry was very calm from childhood and did not pay attention to the pressure on him that accompanies fights. He controls the situation inside and outside the ring. We know the fans will support Canelo and maybe the judges too. But Dmitry will be focused on the implementation of his plans and will gain a lot of new fans. It will be a grand clash of two styles. I appeal to all experts: judge this fight by what happens in the ring, and not by the protocol, ”added the coach, who has been working with Bivol for almost two decades.
