In a bold statement that has sent shockwaves through the boxing community, Dmitry Bivol has publicly called out Saul “Canelo” Alvarez, reminding him of their unfinished business after their last bout. The reigning light heavyweight champion expressed his frustration over the prolonged wait for a rematch, stating, “I’ve been waiting 1.5 years for this rematch! Do you want to fight?”

Bivol’s challenge comes after he secured a decisive victory against Canelo in May 2022, where he outclassed the Mexican superstar to retain his WBA light heavyweight title. The victory not only solidified Bivol’s status as one of the top pound-for-pound fighters in the world but also left fans eager for a rematch to see if Canelo could reclaim his status.

In recent interviews, Bivol has been vocal about wanting to step back into the ring with Canelo, emphasizing that he believes a rematch would be beneficial for both fighters. “I want to give the fans what they want,” he stated. “Canelo is a great champion, and a rematch would be a true test of our skills.”

Canelo, on the other hand, has been busy with his own schedule, including a recent fight against John Ryder and upcoming matches aimed at solidifying his legacy in the sport. While Canelo has not yet officially responded to Bivol’s challenge, the boxing world is abuzz with speculation about whether he will take on the challenge once more.

The anticipation surrounding a potential rematch has fans and analysts debating whether Canelo can avenge his only recent defeat and reclaim his status as a top fighter or if Bivol will prove once again that he is a force to be reckoned with in the ring.

With both fighters having a lot to prove, the stage is set for what could be one of the most anticipated rematches in boxing history. Will Canelo accept the challenge, or will Bivol continue to wait for his chance to settle the score? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain: the boxing world is watching closely.
