Light heavyweight fighter Dmitry Bivol admitted to feeling better after his recent surgery and spoke about what he expects for 2026 in boxing

Russian Dmitry Bivol has been out of action for almost a year, following a back injury

Artur Beterbiev admitted that he would also like to fight David Benavidez, but he is more interested in Dmitry Bivol

Eddie Hearn explained that Bivol will first fulfill his obligations as champion and then could fight David Benavidez or Beterbiev

Abel Sanchez advised Benavidez to forget about that fight once and for all, since Canelo Alvarez has no interest in fighting him

David Benavidez believes Canelo Alvarez should give fans the fights they want to see and stressed that there are no more fights left for him at 168 pounds

David Benavidez explained that the fight with Canelo Alvarez is something fans have been waiting for and assured that it will break records

David Benavidez commented that Canelo Alvarez only fights for greatness, so he should look for a duel with him after defeating Dmitry Bivol

Robert Garcia indicated that David Benavidez is taller and more powerful than Terence Crawford, so he will be at a total disadvantage

Jose Benavides Sr. said it's best not to get his hopes up because Crawford's team doesn't want the fight and said his son can weigh 168 pounds

Vadim Kornilov explained that Bivol is not considering a tune-up fight for now after his rehabilitation to treat a back injury

Mark Ramsey commented that both Riyadh Season and the Russians offered to hold the duel, but it did not materialize because Bivol simply did not want to
