There’s a long way to go before a potential rematch between Canelo Alvarez and Dmitry Bivol can take place, but that hasn’t prevented Eddie Hearn from discussing it.
The Mexican is back in action this weekend when he battles Edgar Berlanga, live on DAZN, in Las Vegas.
Next month, Bivol will also feature in a big fight of his own when he looks to become undisputed light-heavyweight champion against Artur Beterbiev.
Once both fights are out the way, the next move for all involved should become clear, and Hearn, who promoted the 2022 clash won by Bivol, has had his say on how things might play out.
“If Bivol wins or loses, that’s an option,” said Hearn when speaking on the Chris Mannix podcast about a second meeting with Canelo.
“If Bivol were to lose [to Beterbiev], Bivol would come down to 168 to rematch him [Canelo]. If Bivol were to win, you have the undisputed fight at 175. That’s a big fight.”
