And then I’m gonna put my neck on the line and say that Canelo Alvarez will fight Bivol for the undisputed championship at 168. There’s a lot of work to be done but Dmitry Bivol is up for the challenge. Dmitry Bivol is about legacy. He has a chance if he beats Canelo Alvarez to then fight Beterbiev in his next fight for the undisputed at 175.

The fight between Bivol and Alvarez took place in May, 2022, in Las Vegas. In that fight, the Russian boxer won by unanimous decision.

Last November, last year, Bivol went to the ring against Mexican fighter Gilberto Ramirez. The fight lasted the whole distance and ended with the victory of Dmitry by unanimous decision of the judges. He has 21 wins (11 KO's) without a single defeat.

Alvarez had his last fight against Kazakhstan's Gennady Golovkin this September in Las Vegas. That fight ended in Saul's favor by unanimous decision. He has 58 wins (39 by KO), two draws and two losses.
