BREAKING: Dmitry Bivol Tells Crawford HOW TO BEAT Canelo & Why He Beats Beterbiev in Rematch!
In a stunning revelation that has electrified the boxing world, Dmitry Bivol, the undisputed light heavyweight champion, has broken his silence with a bold strategy for Terence Crawford to defeat Canelo Alvarez and a confident prediction for his own rematch against Artur Beterbiev. The explosive statement, delivered just moments ago on Sunday, June 15, 2025, at 03:00 PM +07, has sent shockwaves through the sport and ignited fierce debate.

The Strategic Blueprint
During a live interview at 02:58 PM +07, Bivol shared his expert advice for Crawford ahead of the highly anticipated September 13, 2025, clash with Canelo at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. “He needs to do his job and he does it very well,” Bivol explained, emphasizing Crawford’s need to leverage his exceptional ring skills. “He should focus on changing movements, keeping distance, and avoiding exchanges—don’t let Canelo use his strength.” The Russian, who outboxed Canelo in a unanimous decision on May 7, 2022, stressed that Crawford’s success hinges on mental preparation and tactical precision, not just physical power, given Canelo’s dominance in the super middleweight division.

Bivol’s insight comes from his own experience, where he controlled the fight with jabs and footwork, a blueprint he believes Crawford can adapt despite the two-weight-class jump from super welterweight.

Confidence in the Beterbiev Rematch
Turning to his own career, Bivol doubled down on his belief in beating Artur Beterbiev in their upcoming rematch, scheduled for later this year. “I’ve grown since our first fight,” he said, referencing his February 2025 majority decision victory that crowned him undisputed champion. Bivol attributed his success to increased activity and commitment to power shots, countering Beterbiev’s aggressive style. “I was wary before, but now I know how to handle him—my confidence will carry me through,” he added, dismissing concerns about Beterbiev’s knockout power and suggesting a trilogy could be on the horizon.
The first fight in October 2024 saw Bivol lose a tight majority decision, but his rematch win has solidified his standing, fueling speculation of a future Canelo rematch if Crawford falls.
Reactions and Speculation
The boxing community is buzzing with reactions. Fans on social platforms are split, with some hailing Bivol’s advice as “gold for Crawford” and others questioning his bias after losing to Beterbiev initially. Canelo’s camp has yet to respond, but the Mexican’s team may view this as a psychological ploy. Crawford, preparing for the biggest fight of his career, has not commented, though his recent struggles against Israil Madrimov suggest he’ll heed Bivol’s tactical tips.
Analysts note Bivol’s credibility, given his lone victory over Canelo, but some challenge his rematch prediction, citing Beterbiev’s relentless pressure as a wildcard.
What’s Next?
With Crawford’s fight against Canelo looming and Bivol’s rematch with Beterbiev on the calendar, this breaking news has set the stage for a dramatic season. Will Crawford follow Bivol’s plan to dethrone Canelo, and can Bivol maintain his edge over Beterbiev? The boxing world waits with bated breath, with updates expected soon.
