“Recently Loses and Jumps Straight Back”- UFC Legend Hails Canelo Alvarez After Massive Fight Announcement

Former UFC middleweight champion Michael Bisping recently took to Twitter to praise the Mexican boxing phenomenon, Saul Canelo Alvarez. Alvarez recently suffered a shocking loss to the Russian boxer Dmitry Bivol on the 7th of May.

After losing his World Boxing Association light heavyweight world title, Alvarez accepted another fight against Gennady Golovkin which will take place in September.

Bisping took to Twitter and praised the Mexican boxing champion for losing a fight so recently and accepting a fight right after. Bisping wrote, “Gotta respect the work ethic of Canelo. Recently loses and jumps straight back into another massive fight.”

Canelo’s soon-to-be opponent, Gennady Golovkin, is one of his biggest rivals in the fight business. The two have faced each once before, back in 2017 and 2018. Their first fight on the 16th of September 2017 was a draw via split decision and their second bout on the 15th of September 2018 was a win for the Mexican.
