The unbeaten Russian Dmitry Bivol will hope to impress ahead of a potential 175 Lbs unification fight in 2022
Dmitry Bivol may feel that he needs to reassert himself at the top of the light-heavyweight division.
The unbeaten Russian has held the WBA belt at 175lbs for years.
However, there are other dangerous fighters that some fans believe are even stronger in the division.
So, the only way to settle that argument is for Bivol to fight his fellow 175 champions, such as Artur Beterviev, who is another undefeated Russian 175 world champ.
It makes sense, right?
But for sure the biggest pay check for Bivol would be to fight Mexican superstar Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez. You agree, I think.
Canelo expected to tip the scales at around 180-185 lbs for his coming clash against Cruiserweight world champion Ilunga Makabu scheduled for May 2022.
It could be a nightmare for Canelo, who has never fought at cruiserweights.
But, if Canelo manages to win, then Canelo vs Bivol at 175 lbs could be more than possible, right? Why not?
