WBA light-heavyweight champion Dmitry Bivol commented on the announcement of a unification bout with WBC, WBO and IBF belt holder Artur Beterbiev.
"Of course, I'm happy. It's just that when I signed my first contract and became a professional boxer, I had a goal to become an absolute world champion. The fight with Canelo was my pass to the big fights. I'm happy now.
I like challenges and I like to be tested. I have good skills and I believe in them. I've been boxing for 28 years and I love my job. I just believe that no one can beat me," - said Bivol at a press conference.
Recall, Bivol and Beterbiev will fight on June 1 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
