Saul Alvarez (58-2-2, 39 KOs) is going to have a rematch with the WBA light heavyweight champion next September Dmitry Bivol (21-0, 11 KOs). The Russian defeated the Mexican in May of this year, and on November 5 he dealt with his compatriot Gilberto Ramirez and decided to compare the two Mexicans.

“Canelo is stronger offensively. His punches are more impressive than Ramirez's punches, they have more impact," Bivol said.

“In the fight with Canelo, I lost more energy than in the fight with Ramirez. I had to work hard every round and I had to win every round. In the fight with Zurdo, I could afford breaks, after which I returned to work, ”added the Russian.

“I will return to training in January and see how I feel. And most importantly, how is my left wrist, although the operation was successful. The challenge is to come back in May with another fight and then come out in September for a rematch with Bivol. For now, that's all I want in my career," Canelo, who still holds all the super middleweight titles, said last week.
