Álvarez wastes no time calling out light heavyweight champion Dmitry Bivol. The pair met last year when Canelo made the climb 175lbs and Bivol beat Álvarez convincingly, handing the Mexican star his first defeat since 2013.

“Everybody knows we want the rematch with Bivol,” Álvarez says. “If the fight with Bivol doesn’t happen then we’ll see. I’m able to fight everybody.”

Would that fight need to take place at 175lbs?

Canelo says: “Same rules, same terms, same everything.”

That’s where it gets interesting. Álvarez wants the rematch to take place at light heavyweight, where he’d be a significant underdog but wouldn’t be putting his WBA, WBC, WBO and IBF super middleweight titles at risk. But Bivol has insisted the fight take place at 168lbs, a weight where Canelo is far more comfortable, taking on a significant risk for the chance of winning all four of Álvarez’s belts.
