Dmitry Bivol, the undefeated light Heavyweight boxing champion, has also weighed in on the Canelo vs Charlo match, hinting at a potential clash with Charlo. In an interview with FightHubTV, Bivol expressed his readiness to make some significant adjustments in his career for a possible face-off with Charlo.

He stated, “Yeah, if Charlo wins, I would like that fight. It’s not like, ‘Oh, I want to fight against someone at 168′ no. I prefer to fight at my weight class.’ If someone wants and we have a good offer to move down for a belt, I will do it. But I prefer to fight at my weight class.” Bivol’s readiness to cut down to 168 pounds from his usual light Heavyweight class underscores the significance he places on a possible match with Charlo.
