Previously, the boxers fought in 2017 and 2018 (draw and Alvarez won by decision). Alvarez defended the titles of the champion of the World Boxing Association (WBA Super), World Boxing Organization (WBO), World Boxing Council (WBC) and IBF in the super middleweight. He was happy and grateful for the opportunity to earn big money. There was no anger, there was no competition — good fighting sparring, «Kirillov said. But he owns the belt (WBA middleweight), there is still an opportunity to earn money. Age is already in the way, but it depends on his psychology and team, «Kirillov added.
