Bivol: "My goal is not Canelo, but Beterbiev"

Dmitry Bivol

Dmitry Bivol (20-0, 11 KOs) ready for revenge with Saul Alvarez (57-2-2, 39 KOs), but will not insist on such a fight. In the next performance, the 31-year-old Russian would prefer to have a unification match with Artur Beterbiev (17-0, 17 KOs).

“I want to be the undisputed light heavyweight champion of the world. Rematch with Canelo? Of course, if he wants, I will fight him a second time. He moved into my weight class and gave me a chance, so I will give it to him as well,” said Bivol, WBA world champion.

In June, the fight between Artur Beterbiev and Joe Smith Jr. will take place. The bet in this confrontation will be the IBF, WBC and WBO championship titles.

“I hope that I will be able to fight the winner. Fans will eventually get a fight for four titles, and I will finally get the fight that I wanted from the very beginning. My goal is to fight Beterbiev, who is considered by most to be number one in light heavyweight,” Bivol said.
