Former world light heavyweight champion Sergey Kovalev commented on the upcoming May 7 fight between WBA champion in this weight Dmitry Bivol and absolute world middleweight champion Saul "Canelo" Alvarez and, comparing this fight with his fight against the Mexican in 2019, noted, that Bivol has a good chance of winning, according to bbabo.net, citing his FightHype interview.

The meeting between Bivol and Alvarez will be held in Las Vegas and will be designed for 12 rounds.

"I don't like to make predictions but I'm very happy for Dmitry Bivol because he's fresh, he hasn't had a long, hard career and he's ready to fight. He has a lot of time to prepare which I didn't have and he has a good chance of beating Canelo.

I think Bivol has a great opportunity to beat Canelo and that makes their fight very interesting for me and for all boxing fans. Bivol hasn't lost and keeping his zero on the losing chart will be a big motivation for him. I can only wish him good luck and I believe he canelo,” Kovalev said.

Recall that in case of victory on May 7, Alvarez will fight for the third time with Kazakh Gennady Golovkin (41-1-1, 36 KOs), who on April 9 in Japan will hold a unification fight against WBA super champion Ryota Murata (16-2, 13 KO).
