Dmitry Bivol, the WBA light heavyweight world champion, commented on his manager’s words that he could change weight category for big fights.
“When I perform, my weight is 185 pounds maximum. In normal life I weigh about 190 pounds. Going down to 175 won't be difficult. I'm just starting training camp and my weight is coming down. I feel like I can pack more, but I just don’t want to. I remember doing this during my amateur days. Then I only thought about food and water, but not about fighting. Of course, if there is a good reason to go down to 168 pounds, and if it comes to a fight for the belt, I will try my best. “I will do 168, but if there is a good reason,” the boxer said.
Let us remind you that the promoter previously announced the date of Bivol’s next fight, saying that he will return to the ring in January.
