Boxing legend Roy Jones Jr. talked about a possible rematch between Russian Dmitry Bivol and Mexican Saul “Canelo” Alvarez.

Recall that in the first fight, which took place on May 7, Bivol unanimously defeated Alvarez.

“Alvarez doesn’t need to fight Bivol at light heavyweight or super middleweight. If I’d stepped up to his weight class and got beaten up, I’d be back at my weight. Go back to the second midpoint. Don’t fight Bivol, it’s too dangerous. Fight the Charlo brothers or Demetrius Andrade. Plus , David Benavidez. You will be the favorite in these matches. However, Benavidez can cause problems for Alvarez because he throws too many punches. Bivol’s style does not suit Alvarez. Bivol, in a statement on the Pro Box TV podcast, is a long-distance combatant and A multi-disciplined fighter who doesn’t throw every punch.

A rematch between Bivol and Alvarez could happen as early as September 17.
