Dmitry Bivol (20-0, 11 KOs) during promotional events for his Saturday WBA light heavyweight title fight with Gilberto Ramirez (44-0, 30 KOs), said that in the event of a victory over the Mexican, he would strive to unify the titles with the WBC, WBO and IBF champion Artur Beterbiev (18-0, 18 KOs).

The Russian explained that winning the status of the absolute world champion has a higher priority for him than the box office revenge with Saul Alvarez (57-2-2, 39 KOs), whom he defeated in May.

Meanwhile, Canelo, who defeated Gennady Golovkin a few weeks ago, has announced that his next fight will not take place until September at the earliest. Thus, the Mexican abandoned his traditional May date.
