The British promoter teaming up with “Canelo” and platform DAZN believes that completing the treble with Kazach on September 17, and only then a rematch with Dmitry Biwol (20-0, 11 KO) is the best option for the Mexican star. But it is Canelo who will choose the opponent. Because despite the defeat to Biwoł, he still deals with the cards.
The Match Room Group boss spoke to Alvarez on Friday, and today they’re back to talk. Hearn has an idea in his head. If he chooses Canelo Gołowkin, then Biwoł can meet, for example, with Joshua Buatsi (16-0, 13 KO) who promoted him.
An option is the September fight with Gołowkin to defend all four belts in the Super Intermediate category. Perhaps this is the last chance to complete this trilogy. Saul wants a rematch with Biwoł a lot and will only agree to Gołowkin if Biwoł is next in line. We’ll talk today and make a decision next week, Hearn explains.
– If we decide to Gołowkin in September, then we will present Biwoł another contender for October. And then, if they both win, they’ll go out for a second match next May. That is why it seems to me that the Gołowkin trilogy can bear fruit only now, after the defeat of “Canelo”, when this fight suddenly becomes more attractive. Now or never,” added the British promoter.
