Canelo Alvarez vs Dmitry Bivol: when is the press conference and weigh-in?
The Mexican superstar will return to action for the first time this year against Dmitry Bivol on 7 May at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Saúl Canelo Álvarez is eager to return to the ring for the first time this year and he will fight Kyrgyzstan born Dimitry Bivol on 7 May at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. The Mexican superstar will return to 175 pounds to face the unbeaten Bivol star for the WBA championship.
Right now, I have Bivol,” said Canelo during a Media Conference Call. “He’s stronger than Kovalev, yes. He’s a solid champion at 175, a really good fighter. So, it’s a challenge for me, and this kind of challenge motivates me. I’m trying to extend my legacy.”
It all leads to May 7 for @Canelo.
