Canelo Alvarez explains why Dmitry Bivol rematch didn’t happen
Canelo Alvarez has finally spoken about why his rematch against Dmitry Bivol has not taken place yet. Without giving a reason why it didn’t work, Canelo said that he tried but Bivol started demanding things.
Bivol reportedly wanted to move weight from 168 lbs to 175 lbs, so that Canelo couldn’t use the excuse of his natural weight. Canelo is used to competing at his natural weight of 168 lbs. He has experienced a lot of success in the super middleweight division. But for his Bivol fight, Canelo fought at 175 lbs at Bivol’s natural weight. Bivol won the fight against Canelo which many boxing fans call a ‘one-sided’ fight.
A rematch against Bivol is going to keep a lot of Canelo fans in awe. Further, Canelo has spoken about his interest in this rematch which increases the chances of this fight working. Meanwhile, Canelo is set to fight Jermell Charlo on September 30.
