British promoter Eddie Hearn does not support the idea of ​​a rematch Saul Alvarez And Dmitry Bivol in super middleweight limit, in which Canelo holds all the titles.

“Can you imagine what the reaction would be if Canelo cut Bivol to the welterweight limit and beat him? What will people say? "Oh, he couldn't beat him at light heavyweight, so he made him drop down to middleweight." Canelo says: “The conditions will be the same as in the first fight. You beat me, so I need to do the same to prove that I shouldn't have lost that night, that I can beat you." That's how he thinks.

I'm not ruling out a super middleweight fight, but Canelo and Eddie Reynoso want a rematch in the light heavyweight division. Bivol likes the idea of ​​fighting at super middleweight as it is his chance to become the undisputed champion. I don't think Bivol is going to look great doing 168 for the first time in his career against Canelo. But Saul wants this fight. He craves it," Hearn was quoted as saying by Boxing News 24.

Recall that in May last year, Bivol defeated Canelo by unanimous decision.
