Canelo Alvarez will decide this week whether to rematch Dmitry Bivol or pursue a trilogy with Gennady Golovkin in September according to Eddie Hearn.
The Mexican star made a step up to 175lbs to face Russian star Bivol but was outpointed in a punch-perfect display from the WBA champion. Alvarez has signed a two-fight deal with Matchroom Boxing and was set to face Golovkin in September, but also has the option of cashing in on a rematch clause to renew his rivalry with Bivol.
Hearn believes either fight would be a suitable opponent but the Mexican's defeat to Bivol could an extra "competitive" edge to any third meeting with Golovkin. “This week is moving week for us to sit down with Saul and Eddy Reynoso and say, ‘What do we want to do?’ Personally, I’m happy with either," Eddie Hearn told the DAZN Boxing Show.
