Dmitry Bivol brushes aside Canelo Alvarez rematch talk with full focus on Gilberto 'Zurdo' Ramirez

Daily Mail  

An ice-cold Dmitry Bivol offered a stark juxtaposition to his sweltering Abu Dhabi surroundings as he insisted full focus is on the task at hand ahead of his enticing bout against mandatory challenger Gilberto ‘Zurdo’ Ramirez on the dunes in just over 10 weeks’ time. Bivol, 20-0, will indeed likely face Canelo once more in May next year should he prevail, though his team have stressed they are not tied into anything, but first he must overcome the giant of a light-heavyweight – and once former super-middleweight champion – Ramirez. Kyrgyzstan's Dmitry Bivol insists his full focus is on his November 5 clash with Gilberto Ramirez The upcoming challenge, one Bivol describes as the hardest of his career to date, is the 31-year-old’s sole focus, in what will be the first world title defence ever to take pace in Abu Dhabi. Bivol defeated the pound-for-pound world No 1 Canelo Alvarez on points in May 2022 ‘Of course, I have great plans in my head: I want to be the best fighter in the world, I want more belts, but for now I have a big fight against a great fighter.
