Dmitry Bivol was the last man to beat Canelo Alvarez inside a boxing ring.
They met back in May 2022, with Canelo stepping up to 175lbs as he looked to once again claim world honours in the light heavyweight division.
It wasn’t to be though, as Bivol won the fight by unanimous decision, becoming just the second man after Floyd Mayweather to overcome the Mexican superstar.

Since that bout, Bivol went on to face Artur Beterbiev in an undisputed showdown in October, suffering a narrow defeat, with a rematch taking place next month.
As for Canelo, he returned to super-middleweight and made several defences of his world titles, and now looks to be on a collision course with fellow pound-for-pound star Terence Crawford.
The fight would see Crawford moving up several weight divisions, with some fans worried that it could prove to be a bridge too far for the former undisputed super-lightweight and welterweight champion.
Crawford disagrees, and may be interested to hear what mistakes Bivol felt Canelo made following their meeting nearly three years ago.
Speaking in the aftermath of his victory, Bivol explained exactly what Alvarez did wrong to potentially cost him the bout.
“He has good speed and good power. Maybe his mistake is he throws only hard punches. After hard punches he relaxes and he’s tired.”
Time will tell whether the same issue happens again for Canelo when the Crawford fight reportedly happens later this year, and the only man that has fought both boxers professionally, Amir Khan, has given his prediction for the bout.
