The Russian beat Umar Salamov on points in his last game over four months ago.

what was said

Canelo called: “[Dmitry’s] a really good boxer. At 175, he’s a solid champion. It’s a dangerous fight. I like it, I love this kind of challenge.

“I really like it. But I believe in my abilities and I’m strong too. So I’m confident, but it’s going to be a really good fight.

“I like the idea of ​​being undisputed at 175. I like that, but you never know.”

bivol said: “Canelo can fight aliens and that doesn’t change anything.

“I’ve also done it with cruiserweights or heavyweights. The truth is, it doesn’t matter because in the end it’s just sparring.

“I will do my best to put on a good fight.

“I’ll try to win and I’ll use all my skills to make it a great fight for everyone out there.”
