Dmitry Bivol (21-0, 11 KOs) will return to the ring at the turn of April and May. In September, his revenge with Saul Alvarez (58-2-2, 39 KOs), but the question remains at what weight this fight will take place. The WBA light heavyweight champion plans to start training soon, but still does not know who his closest opponent will be.

“I want more belts, whether it’s super middleweight or light heavyweight. Let's see what is easier to do. Of course, a rematch with Canelo in his weight class would be an additional motivation, but I have to think it over carefully because I have not dropped to the 76.2 kg limit for many years. But I have to be ready,” Bivol said.

“I would like to return at the end of April, maybe at the beginning of May. This is the date I want to fight,” added the light heavyweight champion of the World Boxing Association.

Earlier, Eddie Hearn, who works with the Russian, suggested that Joshua Buatsi (16-0, 13 KOs) could become Bivol's opponent.
