Undefeated Russian boxer has trained in Abu Dhabi since September for upcoming WBA light heavyweight world championship bout on Nov. 5 Rematch with Canelo not priority: Bivol ABU DHABI: Since defeating Canelo – also known as Saul Alvarez – over 12 rounds in May, the world No. 1 in the light heavyweight division, Dmitry Bivol, has had his eyes only on Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramirez who he will face at the Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi on Nov. 5. Bivol has a record of 20-0 (11 knockouts) and is solely focused on maintaining that nought as he looks to become the division’s undisputed champion. Since the two boxers faced off at a press conference in Abu Dhabi in August, Bivol said that he had not learned anything new about the 6ft 3in tall southpaw Ramirez, who carries an impressive 44-0 record. Ramirez had claimed that the Russian boxer was underestimating him going into the November bout. Bivol said: “No, I am not underestimating him. I look only at him and this fight. My focus is only on Nov. 5 right now. “You know it doesn’t matter what league you are in. Yes, Canelo and Ramirez, they are two different opponents, but I have 280 fights in the amateurs, and I have met many different opponents. I didn’t have time to prepare for each one of them. “You come on the day and have five different opponents in a tournament – some are orthodox, some short, tall, or fight on their front foot, you don’t get to prepare, you come ready for any opponent.” Bivol showed little concern on what advantages Ramirez may have over him or how his opponent’s camp had gone. “I don’t know what his camp plan was but mine was to be here (Abu Dhabi) for the month and get used to the weather. I only know that my camp has been good. “I just want to go in and fight, I don’t want to say how it will go from now. Of course, I do combinations in training with my coach in preparation so when I get in the ring, I have muscle memory. I don’t know what he will bring but I know I will be ready for anything. “But for this camp, I had all southpaw sparring partners, for two-and-a-half months I sparred only with southpaw opponents who are taller than me and who are faster than Ramirez. I think that will help me for this fight,” he added. As his training begins to taper down and fight week quickly approaches, Bivol praised the hospitality he had received in Abu Dhabi and noted that it had been one of his best camps. He said: “Every camp is good but maybe this is one of the best, I can only tell you after the fight. I have liked being here, as Abu Dhabi has been so welcoming for me. I have been to Etihad Arena a few times, I have seen it and got used to my environment. “Everything has been great. I had some good sparring partners from Kazakhstan. I am staying near the gym, so I got the right amount of recovery between my trainings,” Bivol added. Although the 31-year-old fighter has his sights set on all the belts in the division, a rematch against Canelo is seeming less important to him now as title opportunities come up. “It isn’t that I don’t want it or do want it, it just isn’t my priority. I wanted people to know me, to know who I am. And I got what I wanted to be honest, and now I want to move forward. “Get other belts, and other opponents, move on to other achievements. Yes, of course if it is good pay, my team would make it happen. I didn’t say I wouldn’t fight him (Canelo), but it isn’t my priority; another belt is more interesting to me. “Money can be spent then everyone forgets about you, but belts, that is history. I dream to be undisputed,” Bivol said.
