DARK SECRETS: John ryder questions canelo alvarez s motivation after dmitry bivol rematch vow | Vintage Vibes

John Ryder suspects Canelo Alvarez could be overlooking him with one eye on a rematch against Dmitry Bivol.

Alvarez will defend his undisputed super-middleweight titles against British challenger Ryder in Mexico on May 6 after several months out with injury. It will be his first fight since winning a trilogy fight with Gennady Golovkin last year against a well-deserving challenger in Ryder who recently stopped Zach Parker.

There could be several mega fights on the horizon for Alvarez including a potential defence against David Benavidez or a switch back to light-heavyweight against rival Bivol. This week, the Mexican champion made it clear that his goal for the year was to get his revenge on the Russian before he continues further at 168lb.
