It should be noted that after Saúl’s triumph in Guadalajara, the man from Guadalajara stated that he wanted to go against Bivol. “I ask for the fight at 175 pounds because if it is done at 168 (pounds) they will tell me that I lost weight”, said to ESPN Knockout.
The statements come after it was mentioned that David Benavidez’s manager would have communicated with Eddy Reinoso to make him an offer that they could not refuse to carry out a fight between the two Mexican boxers. Canelo’s manager denied Sampson that he even showed an email sent to the other party.
Finally, the manager of the Russian Bivol, assured that he does not believe that there will be a rematch with Canelo. “In my opinion I think they don’t want a rematch and they are saying that to justify themselves and make another fight like they did with Golovkin, John Ryder and maybe Berlanga.“, he pointed out.
For now, according to Vadim Kornilov, Dmitry Bivol’s team is focused on sealing a fight against Artur Beterbiev.
