Canelo Alvarez claims that he was only “50%“Due to the injury for fighting the lightweight heavyweight champion, Dmitry Bivol in 2022 Alvarez (62-2-2, 39 KO) says that he potentially wants Bivol rematch in 2026, because he wants to” show “that he is a better warrior.

Fans don’t buy it

Fans will not buy that Alvarez is losing because of an injury. It just looked like Bivol was too massive for Canelo and had a style that was livid with him. His highest strength was also an essential factor in his victory over Canelo.

The Mexican star looked exhausted after three rounds. He says he had a hand and knee injury that prevented him from sparring or running during the camp.

Inventing excuses three years after defeat makes Alvarez look somehow pathetic. Even if he had all these problems, why didn’t he try to avenge his loss throughout all these years?

Bivol (24-1, 12 KO) dominated Alvarez, winning a 12-round unanimous decision in a fight, which seemed much more one-sided than narrow results returned by Nevada judges on May 7, 2022.

If Canelo loses another fight with William Scull on May 3 or a match against Crawford on September 13, there will not be much interest to escalate to 175 for a rematch from Bivol. Alvarez might as well stay in 168 to continue his glorious pension route.

“I would like to have this opportunity to have this rematch from Bivol. Ring magazine that he wants to fight again with the unified heavyweight champion Dmitry Bivol.

Canelo could fight him in 2022, 2023 or 2024. Alvarez does not make sense to wait until 2026 to fight him. Is he trying to age him? Was he bad all these years? Fear is a probable reason. He didn’t want to beat again. Now that money from Saudi is involved, Canelo is ready to fight Bivol. This will aid soften the blow of another unilateral loss.

“Yes,” Canelo said, responding to the saying that his loss from Bivol “still does not bother him.” He does not bother me, but I want to say: “You learned something from this fight. What things you don’t have to do again?” I have it in myself: “You have to show that you are a better warrior than him.”

Bivol’s loss clearly bothers Alvarez because he would not be not to quit it now. This failure probably persecuted Canelo and he is Gumped in failure, Playing him in his head like an ancient movie.

50% of the claim

“I have 50% of my skills there,” said Alvarez about the fact that it is only half -capacity to fight Bivol in 2022. “Without a state, nothing, because I can’t escape and I can’t throw as I do or do pads and sparring.”

Canelo shouldn’t fight if he was only in “50%”, because fans do not believe in fighters when they give excuses after failures. Nobody would blame Alvarez if he put Bivol to the fight until he was vigorous.

“You can ask Alex Govski. He was there, helping me in this fight. I have a month without sparring because of mine [injured] hand. Yes, “said Canelo, asked if his wounded knee prevented him from running during the Bivol camp.

“I made a good fight, a very good fight, but not enough. Oh, he is good. He is a very good warrior. You see and everyone says:” Oh, he is nothing. He chose a warrior. ” He is a good warrior;

The proposed sessions would bring together two world champions from different weight categories. Ryan currently holds the WBC welterweight title and Inoue is the undisputed junior featherweight champion.

A notable part of Ryan’s post was his willingness to stream workouts.

One of the things Ryan mentioned in his X post was his desire to stream workouts. Ryan didn’t say whether he would bring the idea to Naoya to see if he agreed with it or not, nor did he give a date when he would train with the Japanese star.

At this stage, Ryan’s comments appear to reflect purpose rather than final findings. Although he has publicly outlined the plan, Inoue has not announced any potential training session.

If training takes place, they will bring together champions separated by more than 20 pounds in weight. Ryan is fighting in the welterweight division, and Inoue is building his championship streak in the junior featherweight division.

The idea remains one Ryan hopes to implement during his visit to Tokyo, with the added possibility of giving fans a glimpse of the session via livestream.

Tyson Fury ‘very interested’ in facing ‘one of the most avoided heavyweights’: “Let’s make it happen”

Tyson Fury is set to take part in the long-awaited clash with Anthony Joshua, but first he needs a warm-up. Now another challenger has been added to the fight, and Fury is “very interested” in the proposed fight.

Promoter Frank Warren promised a “good” opponent but he recently ruled out the possibility of the “Gypsy King” facing Joshua’s former defeater Andy Ruiz Jr., who is believed to have priced himself out of the fight.

I’m talking to Play UKJoshua’s other rival, Jarrell Miller, has revealed that Fury is “very interested” in fighting him as he discusses a potential all-American clash with Deontay Wilder.

“I’ve been one of the most avoided heavyweights for a long time. We’re seeing it now. We’re trying to get Deontay Wilder out there. There’s no fight in front of him. I’m the top heavyweight in America right now, so we’re trying to make certain things happen. Let’s see if he can take control.”

“Tyson Fury is also very interested. I would love to fight these guys. Deontay or Tyson would be a wonderful fight for me. Let’s see if we can make it happen.”

Fury’s manager, Spencer Brown, recently confirmed both fighters’ desire to make the fight happen, but said Miller would likely not be able to complete a full training camp on time.

The American has already scored two victories in 2026, defeating both Kingsley Ibeh and Lenier Pero, and the 37-year-old hopes those triumphs will earn him another chance on the huge stage.
