Jake Paul Showered With Praises By Dmitry Bivol
Since Jake Paul stopped Andre August on December 16, Dmitry Bivol, the unbeaten light-heavyweight champion boxer who overcame Saul “Canelo” Alvarez, has acknowledged that he has admiration for the latter.
Naturally, Bivol is knowledgeable about the subject matter. The Kyrgyz fighter is now listed as the third-best active boxer, pound-for-pound, by BoxRec and sixth by The Ring. He has a flawless record of 21 matches and 21 victories (11 KOs).
A three-way draw saw him defeat Canelo, who is considered to be among the finest boxers of the contemporary era, with a score of 115-113, 115-113, and 115-113, which many commentators felt favored the Mexican.
To tell the truth, Bivol told TMZ,
“I enjoy that the person who isn’t a boxer is passionate about the sport. He appears to be working hard in his training. Because of this, I admire him.” “He’s not simply thinking, I will defeat everyone,” and he’s going out and battling.”
Will Jake Paul take on Bivol in his next career?
Jake Paul is currently 8-1 on the professional scorecard, having stopped Tommy Fury by unanimous decision in the first round after the latter’s younger brother was really knocked out by Paul’s brutal punch.
The boxing community has taken a keen interest in it, for better or worse. Some people, like Bivol, are upset that a YouTuber is turning their sport into a show and creating a “mockery” of it, while others really acknowledge Paul’s hard work.
In an effort to showcase Team USA boxing’s potential before the historic sporting events in Paris in 2024, Paul has now teamed up with the team. However, he won’t be seeing Bivol in the ring very soon, as the 33-year-old stated that he is no longer interested in making money.
About the possible battle with the YouTuber-turned-fighter, Bivol stated,
“My goal is not about money now.” “My aim is about belts.”
