Dmitry Bivol registered probably the biggest upset of boxing history. The Russian did what former champion Floyd Mayweather did years ago and joined an exclusive club. He extended his unbeaten run and retained his WBA light heavyweight title with a decision victory over the man, who will go down probably as one of the greatest boxers of all time, i.e. Canelo Alvarez.
