So after failing to secure a fight with light-heavyweight IBF, WBC, WBO, and lineal champion Artur Beterbiev, the WBA champion Dmitry Bivol will have a mandatory defense of his belt against the undefeated and former super-middleweight champion Gilberto "Zurdo" Ramirez. The fight will be on November 5 in the United Arab Emirates. At least the fight is happening on a neutral ground. Expect Bivol to become the betting odds favorite but most likely not that wide over the gutsy Ramirez. Both are undefeated and well experienced against top-caliber fighters but someone's 0 gotta go. It is known that Canelo Alvarez who is fighting GGG next still has a rematch clause on Bivol which might be activated next year.
Boxing record:
Dmitry Bivol 20-0-11 KOs
Zurdo Ramirez 44-0-30 KOs
in my opinion Dmitry Bivol will win this fight without sweating too much, when I say without sweating too much I mean he won't be extremely exhausted after the fight, it's a fight I'll bet on when I see it on stake.com I'm confident that Dmitry Bivol wins this fight, and about Canelo Alvarez, I think he will skip this rematch next year, I doubt they will fight, I could be wrong
