Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez keep looking for a rival for the month of September, which could be Dmitri Bivol Against whom would you seek revenge?; However, in the environment of the Russian boxer they do not look favorably on this possible fight because they consider that it is not a good idea to agree to the confrontation on the same terms as the first one, especially since the Mexican lost.
Bivol’s coach, Vadim Kornilov assured ESPN Knockout that the Canelo Team does not want a rematch, on the contraryThey would use that as a pretext to find other rivals for the fight that will soon take place.
“They don’t want a rematch. They know that they lost very badly in the first fight and that they have less chance of winning in the second.. When did you hear about a fighter who, after losing, asked for a rematch on the same terms?” Kornilov said.

In fact, for the showdown to take place, Bivol is willing to drop weight to 168 pounds to challenge Canleo for his Super Middleweight championship; however, the Jalisco boxer is more inclined to move up to 175 pounds to try to conquer the Light Heavyweight title.
“In my opinion, I think they don’t want a rematch and are saying that (they want the same terms as the first fight) to justify themselves and make another fight like they did with Golovkin, John Ryder and maybe Berlanga. A rematch cannot take place on the same terms as the fight you lost. It’s stupid. We are looking forward. Artur Beterbiev is our target”, Kornilov finished.
It should be noted that Álvarez has already received an offer of 50 million dollars completely free to face David Benavidezwhich has not received an answer, but this would be the most lucrative in the entire career of the Mexican boxer.
