Mexican boxer Saúl Álvarez said he wants to meet again in the ring with WBA light heavyweight champion Dmitry Bivol of Russia.
I gave a very close fight, even though I had limitations in my arm and shoulder work. I had a good first half of the fight, but then I got tired because we didn't prepare properly. A rematch is what we're aiming for. I yielded, trying to make history in another division. As far as I'm concerned, Bivol is the number one light heavyweight right now.
