Dmitry Bivol’s shocking statements rock the boxing: “The Buffalo” breaks his silence
In an impressive turn of the events on March 31, 2025, Dmitry Bivol, the undisputed champion of semi -stated weight, has unleashed a torrent of explosive statements that have sent shock waves through the boxing community. Nicknamed “The Buffalo” for his incessant power and his unwavering presence in the ring, Bivol broke his silence after months of speculation about his next movement after his victory of decision of most of most of the shaving about Artur Beterbiev in February. His words, delivered with the same precision that he contributes to the square circle, have lit debates, stirred rivalries and left fans and analysts fighting to unpack their implications.
Bivol, speaking in an exclusive interview with his training base, did not hold. “I have shown that I am the best, but the boxing world does not want to see the truth,” he said, his voice full of frustration. “They hide behind politics and excuses, but I have finished waiting, I will fight with anyone, anywhere, to silence skeptics.” The 34-year-old Russian, now 24-1 with 12 knockouts, pointed to the PowerBrokers of the sport, hinting at the maneuver behind the scene that he believes that he has delayed the great success clashes, including a long-term clash with David Benavidez, the mandatory CMB defender.
The moment of Bivol’s outburst could not be more dramatic. Only a few weeks after the WBC ordered him to defend his titles against Benavés, whispers of a possible trilogy with Beterbiev, or even a bold movement to the cruise weight, he had dominated holders. However, Bivol’s comments suggest a deeper discontent. “I hit the unbeatable, and still question me,” he said, referring to his triumph over Bederbiev, the only man who will previously defeat him. “If Benavidez wants it, try. If not, I will pursue larger fights: Cruiser weight, cinnamon again, whatever necessary.” His mention of a rematch Canelo Álvarez, after his surprise of 2022 of the Mexican superstar, revived a storm of speculation about a box office success.
X’s fans exploded in response, and some welcomed Bivol’s frankness as a breath of fresh air in a sport often mired in the promotional game, while others accused him of avoiding Benavész, citing not verified combat tales where “the Mexican monster” supposedly dropped it. Bivol did not approach those rumors directly, but made fun of the notion of fear. “I have faced the toughest blows, Beterbiev, left -handed, Canelo, and I’m still here. Tell me who is hiding,” he replied, his palpable challenge.
The boxing landscape is now preparing for consequences. The Benavidity camp has not yet responded, but the promoter Sampson Lewkowicz recently ruled out the conversations of a bivol fight as “false news”, which suggests that the negotiations remain stagnant. Meanwhile, the Saudi power agent Turki Alalshikh, who orchestrated the last two Bivol epics, has cooled in the confrontation of Benavidez, leaving the champion’s path uncertain. Will “The Buffalo” be charged towards a trilogy with Becterbiev, prove his power in 200 pounds or force the most important names of sport to meet him in front? One thing is clear: Bivol’s words have turned on a fuse, and the explosion could remodel the semi -stated weight division, and beyond, in the coming years. Are attentive while developing this seismic story.
