Dmitriy Bivol promised to beat Saul Alvarez who moved to his division

Russian and Mexican will clash on the night of May 7-8 in the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas in a boxing bout for the WBA world light heavyweight champion title

Amidst all the expectations, WBA light-welterweight champion Dmitry Bivol said that the Mexican, who had recently moved up to this weight class, would have many unpleasant surprises.

According to Bivol, Alvarez is a "tough fighter," but in a fight against him, the Mexican will face a combination of speed, power and movement, which he has never seen before in the ring.

"This is my division, my belt, I'm the champion here. I have to win, because Canelo comes into my category, and I have to beat him. It's going to be a hot night for somebody," summed up the Russian.
