Canelo Alvarez Pulls A Page out of Conor McGregor’s Book to Alarm Dmitry Bivol

Canelo Alvarez is all set to defend his undisputed super-middleweight title against John Ryder, in Guadalajara, Mexico. The fighters will face each other inside the ring on May 6th, 2023. Canelo will be returning to fight in Mexico after almost 11 and a half years. John Ryder will surely be looking to prove his mettle as he finally got the biggest opportunity to fight against the P4P King of the Super Middleweight division. Canelo is prepared to continue his dominance in the ring and make a statement through his punches in front of the whole boxing world.

Canelo has even set his eyes on his next target after this fight against Ryder. He recently hosted a media workout at Houses of Boxing Gym in San Diego. There he talked about his future plans to fight Dmitry Bivol. Not only, that, Canelo at one point even quoted a famous line from Conor McGregor as a warning to Bivol.

Canelo Alvarez, imitating Conor McGregor

During a recent media workout ahead of his fight against John Ryder, Canelo Alvarez gave a response that caught everyone off guard. When a reporter asked what present they should get Dmitry Bivol for his birthday, Canelo jokingly suggested a house as a big surprise present. The reporter then suggested he should say “surprise, surprise” just like Conor McGregor. However, Canelo took it a step further and responded with “surprise motherf**ker,” which left everyone laughing.

It’s worth noting that McGregor had previously used the same phrase after his rematch against Nate Diaz. He said, “Surprise, Surprise motherfu***r, the King is back”.

This becomes even more interesting considering the fact that McGregor has previously shouted out Canelo. Despite the similarity, it’s clear that Canelo’s response was in good fun.

This lighthearted moment shows that even in the midst of a serious training camp, Canelo still knows how to have fun and keep things entertaining.

Canelo talks about the rematch strategy against Dmitry Bivol

During a recent interview with Fight Hub, Canelo Alvarez discussed his potential rematch with Dmitry Bivol following his fight against John Ryder.

When asked about whether he plans on throwing more punches in the rematch, just as he did in the second fight against Gennady Golovkin, Canelo responded by saying, “The second fight with Golovkin, Eddy said to throw more than 100 punches more, so that’s what I did and I won. With the fight with Bivol, we know what we need for the fight, right? I am doing my best.”

The interviewer then asked if Canelo is available to train at 100 percent this year. To which Canelo confidently replied, “Yeah, that’s why I am so motivated. Because I am able to train 100 percent and when I am in that mood, nobody can beat me”.
