On November 6, Dmitry Bivol defeated to Gilberto Ramirez overwhelming with score 117-111, 117-111, 118-110. This victory helped the Russian puncher extend the unbeaten circuit to 21 matches, and this is also the defense of his 10th successful title.
Bivol's next match is expected to be the rematch against Saul “Canelo” Alvarez, the British defeated in May this year. However, the 31-year-old boxer also set a higher goal when he wanted a match against Artur Beterbiev, who held 3 WBC, WBO and IBF belts to unify the four Light-Heavyweight championships.
“I have shown that I can become the world's No. 1 boxer. My goal is to unify the belt to become an absolute champion. But everything does not only depend on me. If I have the right to decide, I will fight to win all 4 championships,” Bivol said.
Currently, Beterbiev also owns a series of 18 perfect winning matches with 18 times Knockout. When Bivol was asked if he was worried about having to confront an unbeaten boxer, the WBA champion affirmed.
“Do you remember what people said about Canelo? All are human, not monsters. Someone can be stronger, someone can be faster, but we are all human. I am confident in my skills. I can win Beterbiev, I can lose.
The result depends on my preparation, depending on my psychology. I could also lose to Ramirez, but I tried to do everything when practicing and trying to trust myself, trying to focus on the war. “
