It looks like a rematch with Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez is of no interest to WBA light heavyweight champion Dmitry Bivol.
After beating the undisputed super middleweight champion in May, Bivol has one immediate goal in mind and that's becoming the undisputed champion at 175lbs.
"I don’t care to be honest," Bivol told IFL TV when asked whether he would be interested in facing Canelo Alvarez next year.
"I don’t want to depend on his decisions for who he wants to fight.
"I just want to fight, I want to fight for four belts, if I don’t get this fight, then give me another fight and I will be patient."
Bivol will have a keen eye set on the OVO Arena Wembley on January 28, 2023, when unified champion Artur Beterbiev takes on Anthony Yarde with the current WBA title holder hoping to face the winner of this contest in an undisputed clash.
