Canelo Alvarez Vows To Fight Gennady Golovkin In September, Rematch Dmitry Bivol In The Future

Reigning middleweight champion, Canelo Alvarez has vowed to make his return to the squared circle by September for a trilogy clash with Kazakhstan favorite, Gennady Golovkin – honoring a prior agreement, before then switching attention to a second showdown against light heavyweight kingpin, Dmitry Bivol. Canelo Alvarez, who headlined an MGM Grand Garden Arena card […]

Canelo Alvarez, who headlined an MGM Grand Garden Arena card against Russian puncher, Bivol earlier this month, suffered his first professional loss in over eight years, with his sole other loss coming at the hands of former multiple division best, Floyd Mayweather back in 2013.

Embarking on an undefeated run of 16 fights without a defeat since then, the Guadalajara fan-favorite suffered a unanimous decision loss to Russian light heavyweight best, Bivol in ‘Sin City’.

Canelo Alvarez welcomes a third fight with Gennady Golovkin in September

However, prior to his title challenge against Bivol in Las Vegas, Canelo was slated to meet with Golovkin in a third fight between the two before the close of this year. And as far as the Mexico native is concerned, a third fight will be honored with Golovkin – before he pursues a rematch against Bivol.

“In the next few days we will announce the September fight,” Canelo Alvarez told ESPN Knockout during a recent interview. “Surely, it will be against GGG (Gennady Golovkin) because we already had that agreement, but I will also fight (Dmitry) Bivol again.”

Whilst Canelo suffered a unanimous decision loss to Bivol earlier this month, Golovkin, on the other hand, managed to rally himself from an adversity filled fight to stop Ryota Murata with a ninth round TKO victory also last month.

In the two prior fights between Canelo and Golovkin, the pair first battled over the course of 12 rounds to split decision draw in September 2017, before Canelo defeated Golovkin with a majority decision victory in a rematch exactly a year later.

Jake Paul Calls Kamaru Usman’s Manager Ali Abdelaziz a ‘Scumbag Criminal’; Abdelaziz Responds

Jake Paul had made a regular habit of making enemies with his mouth.

Jake Paul had made a regular habit of making enemies with his mouth.

The YouTube star turned boxing sensation has been in a war of words with notable combat sports stars Jorge Masvidal, Conor McGregor, Tommy Fury, and Dana White. Now you can add Kamaru Usman’s manager Ali Abdelaziz to that list.

Abdelaziz took to Twitter and criticized the lack of star power of Canelo Alvarez’s opponent Dmitry Bivol in their WBA light heavyweight title fight. While speaking to FightHub TV during a media session for the Taylor-Serrano women’s title bout, Paul called Abdelaziz a “rat” and a “scumbag criminal” in response.

Abdelaziz did not take the insult lightly, snapping back at Jake Paul with strong words and seemingly, the threat of retaliation.

Jake Paul is “A Little Prostitute” According to Abdelaziz

“I just tweeted something because I feel nobody know his (Canelo’s) opponent,” Abdelaziz said while speaking to MMA Junkie. “His opponent is great and he (Bivol) beat him, but realistically, this business is about making money and he tried to dismiss Kamaru, but this fight week nobody know who Canelo is fighting. We shined light on him when Kamaru actually spoke. I’m nobody.”

“You see Eddie Hearn talking sh*t. You this little punk, what’s his name, Jake Paul and his people. I’m going to deal with him too because he said some things. It’s funny because Jake Paul never said some things about me. But suddenly, he starts saying some things about me and I know where this is coming from. I’m going to tell you something, somebody is going to have to pay for what he said.”

Abdelaziz further questioned why he was targeted by Paul, but ultimately believes it was a tactic to put more eyes on himself. Similar to how Paul has targeted certain MMA stars on social media to garner mainstream media attention since transitioning to professional boxing.

“He’s pimped, he’s a little prostitute,” Abdelaziz said about Paul. “At the end of the day, they have to bring in MMA, they have to bring in UFC because they don’t get enough attention and they have to speak about us. And honestly, I’m flattered. The whole press conference in Madison Square Garden, Eddie Hern talked about me, Jake talked about me – good or bad, they still talked about me.

“And most importantly, they talked about Kamaru … This little b*tch Jake Paul, he has something coming from me. I promise. Him and who told him to talk about me.”

Abdelaziz’s admitted respect for both Jake Paul and his brother prior to the comments caused further confusion for the CEO of Dominance MMA Management.

“I was shocked because I always praised the kid,” Abdelaziz said. “I said I wanted him to make money, that it’s great for the sport bringing a lot of attention to boxing and I don’t know. I understand where this comes from, I know who told him to say that and they’re going to pay because I was shocked, very shocked.

“Honestly, it upset me a little bit because I have nothing (to say), but great things about him and his brother. I like his brother and I like him. So why talk about me? I never said nothing about him. That’s it.”

Canelo Alvarez Suffers Decision Loss To Dmitry Bivol In Upset Title Defeat – Highlights

Undisputed super middleweight champion, Canelo Alvarez failed in his attempt to land the WBA super light heavyweight championship in a division leap last night against champion, Dmitry Bivol – suffering a unanimous decision loss over the course of 12 rounds in the pair’s Las Vegas, Nevada headliner. Suffering just the second professional loss of his […]

Suffering just the second professional loss of his career following a prior judging defeat to former world champion, Floyd Mayweather back in September 2013, Canelo Alvarez had entered his light heavyweight division return off the back of a successful eleventh round finish over Jacob Plant back in November of last year – adding the IBF super middleweight title to his stacked and decorated mantle.

Failing to ever really mount any significant offense against the undefeated Russian, Bivol – Canelo landed a career-low number of strikes over the course of 12 total rounds, forced to fight from the outside as Bivol countered and defended expertly. Landing a successful title retention, Bivol landed a unanimous judging win on all three judge’s scorecards, who inked 115-113 on their official papers.

Managing to roll and stick up a persistent guard throughout the 12 round main event despite Canelo’s best efforts, Bivol admitted that he had felt the power coming from the Jalisco pound-for-pound king, but pointed to visible damage to his shoulder and arm – rather than his head.

“I felt his power,” Dmitry Bivol said post-fight. “As you can see from my arm, he (Canelo Alvarez) beat my arm up but not my head. It’s better. He had a good speed and power. Maybe his mistake was he threw only hard punches. After hard punches, he relaxed and (was) tired. I was feeling great. This was the biggest fight of my career and I enjoyed this fight. When the people booed me, it gave me more energy.”

Last night’s ‘Sin City’ defeat for Canelo snapped a whopping 16-fight winning streak for the Mexican puncher, who had previously made the light heavyweight limit back in November 2019 to land the WBO light heavyweight crown with a eleventh round knockout success against Bivol’s compatriot, Sergey Kovalev.
