Dmitry Bivol is well aware of the enormous task that lies before him on May 7.

Tonight, the WBA light heavyweight will attempt to remove Canelo Alvarez from his heavyweight throne. The two will socialize at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, with a sold-out crowd expected.

Alvarez, 31, has effectively completed every world title at 168 pounds over the course of 12 months, on his way to becoming the first undisputed super-middleweight champion of all time. At his current weight, Alvarez will attempt to claim his second world title at 175 pounds.

Despite the increase in weight, most people believe that the Bivol’s size, weight, and power advantages will be rendered useless. However, while the Russian-born product doesn’t have many supporters, he believes that as long as he fights his way through, both Alvarez and his supporters will suffer a shock throughout. life.

“I just have to do my job,” Bivol said in an interview with KO Artists Sports. “If I do well, I will win.”

After a quiet 2020 in which Bivol completely failed to enter the ring, the 31-year-old is back in spectacular fashion in 2021. In that year, Bivol enjoyed consecutive victories over Craig Richards. and Umar Salamov. However, winning against consecutive laners seemed inadequate preparation for his showdown with Alvarez.

For most of the Mexican star’s career, he has demonstrated his ability to fight in many ways. Against Miguel Cotto and Austin Trout, Alvarez was ready to win. In his battles with Amir Khan, Billy Joe Saunders, and Caleb Plant – Alvarez forced them to submission.

Although preparing for every aspect of Alvarez’s fight is an arduous task, Bivol knows it well and in doing so, the road to defeating the weight star will become much easier.
