Dmitry Bivol

NEW YORK -- Artur Beterbiev hasn't met his match yet, and Saturday at Hulu Theater at Madison Square Garden was no different. Joe Smith Jr. entered the ring with a size advantage, strength and a tremendously powerful right hand, but none of it mattered. Beterbiev was too precise, his punches too damaging.

WBA light heavyweight champion Dmitry Bivol is already preparing for his next ring return, according to his promoter. Earlier this month in Las Vegas, Bivol picked up a career defining victory when he outboxed pound-for-pound star Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez over twelve rounds to secure a dominant unanimous decision. It was...

Dmitry Bivol’s promoter admitted it’s “impossible to say” who he will fight next after Canelo Alvarez chose not to pursue an immediate rematch against the Russian. Bivol produced the best performance of his professional career earlier this month when he defended his WBA light-heavyweight world title against Alvarez, winning a convincing points decision in Las Vegas. Afterwards, Alvarez, who had suffered just the second defeat of his career, said he planned to activate a rematch clause in his contract but has instead chosen to face Gennady Golovkin in a trilogy bout in the super-middleweight division. Alvarez said he still plans...

Canelo Alvarez has said a trilogy fight with Gennady Golovkin will be announced soon and a rematch against Dmitry Bivol is also on the cards.Canelo last fought Golovkin back-to-back in 2017 and 2018 where they fought to a split draw and then the Mexican fighter took the win. Both fights were dubbed classics and now fans will be able to witness another, according to Canelo.“In the next few days we will announce the September fight,” he told ESPN Knockout. “Surely, it will be against GGG because we already had that agreement, but I will also fight Bivol again.”Bivol was the...

Turns out, it's status quo for Canelo Alvarez despite an unexpected defeat against Dmitry Bivol. Boxing's top star indicated at the post-fight news conference that he would exercise his rematch clause for a return bout with Bivol in September, but on Monday, he reversed course. "We already had that contract...

Canelo Alvarez says he still plans on having a rematch with Dmitry Bivol after he was handed his first loss in nearly nine years, but first he's planning on a third fight with Gennady "GGG" Golovkin in September. "In the next few days we will announce the September fight," Alvarez...

Rejoice, boxing fans, you got it: a Canelo-GGG trilogy. Saul “Canelo” Alvarez said he’ll refuse to exercise his rematch option versus Dmitry Bivol — who schooled Alvarez in a light heavyweight title match earlier this month — and instead will fight two-belt middleweight champion Gennadiy Golovkin in September.

Former world super middleweight champion Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramirez (44-0, 30 KOs) is applying further pressure to get a crack at World Boxing Association (WBA) light heavyweight champion Dmitry Bivol. Ramirez has won not only one but two title eliminators, both by way of knockout performances, the latest being...

Canelo Alvarez’s plans were crystal clear. After pilfering every world title at 168 pounds, the Mexican star would then audaciously go up in weight to take on WBA 175-pound titlist, Dmitry Bivol. Once Alvarez cleared that hurdle, he would then move on to a third, and presumably final, showdown against Gennadiy Golovkin.

Canelo Alvarez will finish his trilogy against Gennady Golovkin before his rematch with Dmitry Bivol. Alvarez confirmed he will honor his scheduled September fight against GGG during a press conference Monday. “We already had that contract, that deal, so we have to continue what we started," Alvarez said. "And I...
