Bivol will be making another defence of the WBA belt he first won in 2017. The Russian is a technically competent boxer who is perennially underestimated in spite of his stellar amateur career.
Bet on Canelo Alvarez vs Dmitry Bivol with 1xbetErrol Spencer, unified welterweight champion, speaking about the Alvarez winning another belt in a different division again said:
He can, I think he can. He has the skill set, seems like he got the chin, I think he can do it. I feel like Canelo is doing whatever he wants to do - he’s chasing history. What he’s doing is unheard of, skipping weight classes. Fighting who he wants to fight. I don’t feel like he’s ducking anybody.
