Canelo Alvarez told his "mystique his gone" after Dmitry Bivol loss

MMA manager Ali Abdelaziz thinks Canelo Alvarez has become a "regular guy" in boxing after losing to Dmitry Bivol.

Alvarez suffered his first loss in nine years when he was outpointed by light heavyweight champion Bivol earlier this month. The Mexican was fighting for the first time at 175lb since winning the WBO title against Sergey Kovalev in 2019.

Abdelaziz, who manages UFC welterweight champion Kamaru Usman, claims Alvarez's recent loss has damaged his status in boxing. He thinks Alvarez has missed out on an opportunity to face Usman by "losing his mystique" after his last fight.
