It seems that this time, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/boxing/boxing-canelo-alvarez-unbeatable-abel-sanchez-points-out-3-fighters-that-could-defeat-him-20220310-0023.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Canelo Alvarez</a> is not facing just another one of the 60 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/boxing/upcoming-boxing-fights-april-may-and-june-schedule-20220402-0018.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">boxing fights</a> he has had since his professional debut in 2005. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/boxing/boxing-sergey-kovalev-advices-dmitry-bivol-on-how-to-defeat-canelo-alvarez-20220317-0032.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dmitry Bivol</a> will require him to give everything and more of himself in order to come out with his hand up and that is why the Mexican superstar has made a drastic decision to guarantee his victory.
There are times when taking on big challenges constantly invites us to ignore them as if they were an everyday occurrence, something it is seen every day. However, the challenge facing <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/boxing/boxing-dmitry-bivol-reveals-how-he-will-defeat-canelo-alvarez-20220303-0026.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Canelo Alvarez</a> is no small thing: to take on a heavier division, in which he has little experience, challenging one of the most solid and uncomfortable champions in the category.
Dmitry Bivol is undefeated and with a perfect streak after 19 fights as a professional. The Russian holds <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/sports/boxing-all-current-world-champions-in-the-17-divisions-of-the-4-top-organizations-20211215-0041.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the WBA World Light heavyweight</a> since November 2017 and boasts, so far, 7 defenses. His victims include the current WBO World 175 pounds titlist Joe Smith Jr, the tough Canadian Jean Pascal, and the tricky Umar Salamov.
<h2>The drastic change that Canelo Alvarez has done to guarantee a victory over Dmitry Bivol</h2>
If Canelo Alvarez achieves to defeat <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/boxing/boxing-canelo-alvarez-in-real-danger-against-dmitry-bivol-this-is-what-eddie-hearn-thinks-20220308-0036.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dmitry Bivol</a> he would become a two-time World Light heavyweight Champion, a feat accomplished by very few Latin American boxers. To do it, he must overcome a man taller but above all bigger, heavier, and probably stronger than him.
<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/boxing/boxing-who-is-dmitry-bivol-canelo-alvarez-reportedly-opponent-for-his-next-fight-20220225-0026.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bivol is a natural 175 pounds fighter</a>, as he has performed during all his career in that weight so far. However, the Mexican superstar has started his boxing path as Super lightweight fighter, and has won titles in the 154, 160, 168, and, in a one-time adventure, 175 pounds.
In an interview for ESPN‘s insider Salvador “Chava” Rodriguez he confessed what drastic decision he has taken to guarantee a victory on May 7, to become a vegan: “I’m not very complicated when it comes to food, I adapt a lot, I adapt quickly. It’s not something I did all of a sudden, that I left what I ate before, from one day to the next. All week I try to eat what is vegan and if one day I eat something else, meat, chicken, whatever, I eat it, there is no problem. But I do try to stick to eating vegan all week. I feel great, my body has adapted very well. I feel strong and my stomach is very good. I recommend it actually.”
Also, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/sports/top-25-most-impressive-boxing-records-20210616-0014.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the current Undisputed Super middleweight Champion</a> confessed that his training regime includes an almost eight-hour daily physical activity. In the morning, Canelo Alvarez goes to his gym a practices boxing and fitness drills for 3 hours.Then, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/boxing/canelo-alvarez-possible-next-step-in-sports-after-retiring-from-boxing-20220208-0038.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">he has a four-hour Golf session</a>, and finally, an evening running time.

Boxing: Canelo Alvarez's radical decision to conquer Dmitry Bivol's Light heavyweight title

Boxing: Canelo Alvarez's radical decision to conquer Dmitry Bivol's Light heavyweight title - Bolavip US

Sergey Kovalev does not want his countryman <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/boxing/boxing-canelo-alvarez-in-real-danger-against-dmitry-bivol-this-is-what-eddie-hearn-thinks-20220308-0036.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dmitry Bivol</a> to suffer what he has suffered: the loss of the World Light heavyweight title against <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/boxing/boxing-gennady-golovkin-new-complaint-about-Canelo-Alvarez-20220316-0045.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Canelo Alvarez</a>. That is why the Krusher has already given Bivol experience-based <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/boxing/boxing-vergil-ortiz-jr-dangerous-medical-condition-that-forced-him-to-withdraw-from-his-fight-20220316-0021.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">boxing</a>advice to defeat the current Pound for Pound King.
Kovalev (34-4-1, 29 KOs) is coming back to the ring to fight Tervel Pulev (16-0-0, 13 KOs)in May on his first tryout in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/sports/boxing-all-current-world-champions-in-the-17-divisions-of-the-4-top-organizations-20211215-0041.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Cruiserweight</a>, after a two-year absence motivated by personal issues. His last fight was precisely against Alvarez, in November 2019. After just having a grueling clashin August of that year vs Anthony Yarde, he accepted the Mexican’s challenge and he paid dearly for it.
As <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/boxing/boxing-canelo-alvarez-unbeatable-abel-sanchez-points-out-3-fighters-that-could-defeat-him-20220310-0023.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Canelo</a> was the one moving up two divisions, nobody expected he could be the one that causeaknockout. But Kovalev was very tired by the eleventh round and was caught by a powerful left hook that made him lose balance and guard, enough to let Alvarez throw a right cross to send him to the ropes and finish the fight.
<h2>Kovalev shows Dmitry Bivol the path to success against Canelo Alvarez</h2>
Regarding the defense <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/boxing/boxing-who-is-dmitry-bivol-canelo-alvarez-reportedly-opponent-for-his-next-fight-20220225-0026.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dmitry Bivol is doing ofhis WBA Light heavyweight title</a> on May 7 in Las Vegas against Canelo, Sergey Kovalev has made a patriotic action and gave his countryman advice to face the current Pound for Pound king of boxing.
“Canelo has done a great boxing career but Bivol has a great chance to get a victory over a superstar as Canelo. My advice for Bivol is to believe in himself and do not overrate his enemy, because I have done it a couple of times. When you overrate your rival you kill yourself, what you have done in the gym. Just stay yourself and trust in your boxing skills.”, stated Kovalev for Fight Hub TV.

Talking about pure boxing strategy,the Krusherhas also pointed out to Bivol which move he has to make to keep Canelo far away from him:”I am happy for Bivol. He has a great opportunity, is not tired, and has enough time to prepare for the fight.Heneeds to have a great defense and to jab him a lot.Everything is possible, you just need to believe in yourself.“

Boxing: Sergey Kovalev advises Dmitry Bivol on how to defeat Canelo Alvarez - Bolavip US

May 7, 2022, is meant to be a very important day in the career of the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/boxing/boxing-who-is-dmitry-bivol-canelo-alvarez-reportedly-opponent-for-his-next-fight-20220225-0026.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WBA Light heavyweight Champion Dmitry Bivol</a>, given that he is not only making <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/sports/top-25-most-impressive-boxing-records-20210616-0014.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the eighth defense of his title</a>, but he is also facing the best boxer in the world, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/boxing/boxing-canelo-alvarez-answer-to-mike-tyson-and-julio-cesar-chavez-advice-of-who-he-should-fight-20220302-0043.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Saul Canelo Alvarez</a>.
Bivol and Canelo havealready exchanged glances in the kick-off press conference of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/boxing/boxing-david-benavidez-rude-comment-on-canelo-alvarez-millionaire-deal-for-his-next-3-fights-20220226-0020.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">their clash at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada</a>. On the contrary to what has happened in the same event of Caleb Plant‘s fight, both fighters showed respect to each other.
Even, the Mexican star has pointed out that his Russian rival is the best fighter of the 175 pounds weight class, one of the main reasons why he has chosen to fight him. On the other hand, Dmitry Bivol has recognized Alvarez’s skills but he warned not to expect the same result as with his countryman Sergey Kovalev, the one Canelo has beaten by knockout in 2019 to steal<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/sports/boxing-all-current-world-champions-in-the-17-divisions-of-the-4-top-organizations-20211215-0041.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> his WBO Light heavyweight title.</a>
<h2>Dmitry Bivol’s strategy to beat Canelo Alvarez in May 7</h2>
After pointing out that in the day-to-day life both, Canelo and him, must be in the same weight,the Kyrgyzstan native leaked his strategy to be <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/boxing/boxing-canelo-alvarez-answer-to-mike-tyson-and-julio-cesar-chavez-advice-of-who-he-should-fight-20220302-0043.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the man who finally stops the current Undisputed Super middleweight Champion</a>.
“Canelo is more like a brawler who searches the toe-to-toe, a moreaggressive fight. I am more like a boxer who tries to keep the fight cleaner and more defensive. However, if you want to win you have to use all your skills, not just mobility, or speed. You can bet all just on one skill. You have to be ready to be able to use everything you have. I can’t put everything on just trying to keep the distance and try to box him. I have to be ready to fight him toe-to-toe if that happens. I believe that I have the power and the strength to do so if it is needed.”, said Bivol to Fight Hub TV.
Regarding the previous and only fight of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/boxing/boxing-canelo-alvarez-message-to-Benavidez-Charlo-and-the-rest-of-the-boxers-he-did-not-choose-to-fight-20220301-0025.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Canelo Alvarez</a> on his weight class, the one against Sergey Kovalev, Bivol pointed out that his countryman lost mainly due to his poor physical condition, so it may be very possible to beat him: “I remember that Kovalev was winning the fight until the round six or seven, then he went empty and he lost. Daniel Jacobs and Callum Smith also were able to go the 12 rounds with him.”

The deal guarantees Canelo a massive earning of $100 million for the celebration of both fights. It is fair to agree that the bout against<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/boxing/gennady-golovkin-principal-advantage-to-defeat-canelo-alvarez-if-their-trilogy-is-agreed-20220222-0020.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">GGG</a>, on what would be their trilogy after clashing in 2017 and 2018, would happen only if Alvarez defeats Bivol and Golovkin does the same thing against Japanese <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/sports/boxing-all-current-world-champions-in-the-17-divisions-of-the-4-top-organizations-20211215-0041.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WBA Middleweight Champion Ryota Murata</a>.

<h2>Who is Dmitry Bivol, Canelo Alvarez’s rival for his next fight?</h2>
The name of Gennady Gennadievich Golovkin is well known for <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/boxing/Upcoming-boxing-fights-for-the-first-3-months-of-2022-confirmed-by-Eddie-Hearn-and-other-promoters-20220107-0029.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">boxing fans</a>.

At 31 years old, Dmitry Yurievich Bivol is the current WBA World Light heavyweight Champion. This means that the biggest reward for Alvarez in case of defeating him is becoming a two-time 175 pounds titlist, as the bout is likely been agreed in the mentioned weight class.
Bivol boasts his status of undefeated after 19 professional bouts held so far, all won, 11 of them by the quick way. With his 6’0 he is taller than Canelo, a handicap Alvarez is used to dealing with as all of his rivals since he defeatedGGGin 2018 are much bigger than him.
The Russian fighter, been born inKyrgyzstan, is one of the current most solid World titleholders: he has had his belt tightened to his waist for almost 5 years, and has defended it on 7 occasions,being Jean Pascal and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/boxing/boxing-the-only-fighter-in-the-world-that-does-not-want-to-fight-canelo-alvarez-20220104-0023.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joe Smith Jr</a> his most recognized rivals.
