THE MEXICO’S GOAL
From the beginning of the year, Alvarez set the goal of being the unified champion of the 168 pounds and therefore first had to perform the mandatory fight of the CMB in February against Avni Yildirim, whom he dominated and defeated in three assaults.
Talks for a unified fight began as attempts were made to set September 18 as the indicated date, but did not agree on the terms and the Mexican sought to face Dmitry Bivol, WBO champion in the 175 pounds.
After a week of negotiations, Saul made the official announcement on his social media accounts and everything is agreed for them to unify on November 6th.
