With each passing day, with each statement from its protagonists and those around them, the fight that will take place on May 7 in Las Vegas, Nevada, continues to heat up. Mexican boxer Saúl ‘Canelo’ Álvarez against Dmitry Bivol.
In an interview for the FightHype medium, the Russian boxer did not bite his tongue and attacked his rivalwhich he disqualified and considered is overrated:
“Canelo Álvarez can spar against aliens and that doesn’t change anything (…) it doesn’t matter in the least, in the end it’s just sparring”
Not content with that, he was confident that he would put up a good fight and manage to surprise the man who is considered by the entire boxing world to be the best fighter today.
“I will do my best to make a good fight. I will try to win and I am confident in all my abilities to make it a great fight for everyone out there,” she argued.
While, Saúl Álvarez is focused on getting in shape. His last fight was on Saturday, November 6 against Caleb Plant and because he did not have scheduled dates, he has neglected his rigorous training a bit, considering the Christmas dates that he lived.
While for Bivol the fight represents a great opportunity to establish himself in boxing and knock down the best in the sport, for Canelo it will be emblematic because it is scheduled for the weekend of May 5when the Battle of Puebla is commemorated and which represents a symbolic date for Mexican boxers.
That day many people mobilize to watch boxing matches, and the Canelo – Bivol will not be the exception.
