It is pretty clear Dmitry Bivol is the 2022 Boxer of the Year. He beat Canelo Alvarez, and top-ranked contender Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramirez.
After a historic year, Bivol is finally getting the attention he deserves.
During a recent interview with the DAZN Boxing Show, Bivol was asked who was the bigger puncher, Canelo or Zurdo.
“Canelo is more powerful fighter,” said Bivol during his most recent interview with DAZN Boxing Show. “Canelo punch more harder than Ramirez.”
An interesting observation as we head into September of 2023, Canelo seems to be looking to target Bivol, and it seems Bivol felt Canelo was the tougher fight of the two he faced in 2022.
