Dmitry Bivol’s manager, Vadim Kornilov, has signaled a strong interest in a rematch with Canelo Alvarez, posting on X that the superstar “has to avenge his losses to Bivol and Floyd Mayweather.”
Kornilov’s statement comes ahead of Bivol’s upcoming undisputed light heavyweight title fight against Artur Beterbiev on October 12th in Riyadh. While the manager appears confident in Bivol’s ability to defeat Beterbiev, some experts remain skeptical.
The boxing world is divided over Bivol’s chances against the hard-hitting Beterbiev. Critics point to Bivol’s history of being hurt in fights and his tendency to fight defensively, suggesting he may not have the chin or the fighting style to withstand Beterbiev’s power.
Some experts even believe that a fight between Beterbiev and David Benavidez, another top contender in the division, would be a more compelling matchup for fans.
The debate surrounding Bivol’s chances and the call for a Canelo rematch adds intrigue to an already highly anticipated fight. The outcome of the Beterbiev fight will undoubtedly shape the future of the light heavyweight division and determine if a Canelo rematch is even a possibility.
