The urge to get vengeance eventually caught up with Canelo, who recently expressed the urge to fight Dmitry Bivol for a rematch in 2025. In their first fight, Dmitry Bivol faced a comprehensive unanimous decision win against Canelo, which shocked the world.
It was less of a win and more of a statement. Bivol has been unstoppable ever since the massive win; he beat other big names in the sport. Bivol will soon face one of the biggest tests of his career – Artur Beterbiev on 12th October.
Canelo himself has a fight scheduled to take place in a few hours – failure to rise victoriously will vanish his chances of getting a rematch with Bivol.

Mike Coppinger on Canelo willing to fight Dmitry Bivol for a rematch
In a recent interview, ESPN reporter Mike Coppinger explained how Canelo wants to fight Dmitry Bivol for a rematch in 2025.
“When I spoke to Canelo yesterday, he said he wants Dmitry Bivol next, provided, of course, Bivol does beat Beterbiev on October 12th in Riyadh for the undisputed light heavyweight championship,” Coppinger said, as quoted by boxingnews24.com.
“What’s nice about that fight, if it happens, is that it’s a real departure from Canelo’s last three or four fights. That’s a fight where Canelo is going to be a decided underdog. I thought when he fought [Bivol] in May 2022, that was a 10-2, 9-3 fight at best for Canelo.
Canelo says, ‘Look, I know I can beat him. I’m a better fighter.’ I said, ‘Your hand was injured, right?’ ‘Not just my hand. Everything was off,’ and you can tell the loss still bothers him”.
