Mandatory Credit: Joe Camporeale-USA TODAY Sports. If contact me, I will give them a positive answer. Las Vegas, Nevada, USA Canelo Alvarez celebrates after knocking out Caleb Plant (not pictured) during their undisputed super middleweight world championship boxing match at MGM Grand Garden Arena. 'I have a desire to win a new title, for me, it is more interesting than money. 'It would not be difficult for representatives to come to an agreement with me,' Beterbiev told Match TV. Beterbiev has even made it clear that a bout with Canelo is all that could push him off of his plans to chase unifications. Beterbiev's name hasn't come up much in the current discussions for Canelo's next fight, but there's no doubt that any effort from Canelo to truly rule light heavyweight would have to involve a fight with Beterbiev.īeterbiev and WBO champion Joe Smith seem set for a unification bout, though it would seem logical for that fight to take a back seat to the big money of a clash with Canelo. Canelo (57-1-2, 39 KOs) had to move back up to light heavyweight to challenge the unbeaten Bivol who has a record. The only light heavyweight in the world better than Bivol is Beterbiev, holder of the WBC and IBF belts. It will be only the second time in Bivol's career that he will fight in Las Vegas. Artur Beterbiev (16-0, 16 KOs), WBC and IBF light heavyweight champion
