Canelo Alvarez is extremely confident ahead of his match-up against Dmitry Bivol
The Undisputed Super-Middleweight Champion of the world is set to take on Dmitry Bivol on May 7th. Ahead of their light-heavyweight clash, the Mexican P4P Champion is extremely confident and does not think anyone can beat him. Canelo appeared on the Boxing with Chris Mannix podcast to talk about his mindset ahead of his return to the light-heavyweight division:
“It’s boxing, but nobody can beat me right now. I feel in my prime, and no disrespect to other fighters. There’s some great fighters. But I feel in my prime. I feel strong. I feel in my best... Maybe [I have] more [motivation than 10 years ago]. Even more… I want to still be on this level to be the best fighter, so maybe I’m more motivated right now.”
