A biography for Dmitry Bivolhasn’t been written yet.
“I am brought up that you cannot insult people, say things that you cannot follow through with, or say things you have no idea about.”
“I don't think I'm a powerful fighter. I never thought that about myself. The power is not always going to help you.”
“Kovalev wants to fight against the best, like me. It depends on the boxing fans. If they like it, it will happen.”
“I'm not a guy who works only with the money. I'm not the guy who works on Wall Street. They think about money. I'm an athlete. Maybe it's a stupid dream, to have all the belts. But it's much more than just a belt. It's a legacy. It's something which makes you more happy, more confident. It helps to put your name in the boxing history.”
“I know how people love Canelo, and it's normal; he's the biggest fighter in the world. He's a champion in four weight classes and has four belts. People are on his side. No problem for me.”
“I want a lot of people to see me fight. I want a lot of people to enjoy my fights.”
“Of course, the Kovalev fight could happen because we are in the same division.”
“Canelo? Of course! It's a good fight for me. I'm taller than him. I have good boxing skills and enough experience to box a guy like him.”
“I feel like I have the goods to be the best.”
“Gilberto Ramirez has a big name. He said before he wanted to fight me. I respect him as a person. We know each other.”
“Boxing is a gentleman's sport.”
“Did Canelo beat me up? Yes, my arm, much better than my head.”
“I want to be undisputed champion, you know? Doesn't matter against who.”
“Of course, you think more about your health because you have kids, your health is not infinite. But sometimes, in the ring, you forget everything. You become an animal, a beast.”
“I have a lot of friends everywhere. I wish them only peace and only the best.”
“I win my belt and want to keep it long. I don't want to give my belt to someone.”
“It's an honor to fight a big name like Pascal. He's a champion and he's very experienced.”
“We are people. We have to make a better world for all of us.”
“I've been able to learn from fight to fight, and I've gained experience in each fight.”
“I have a goal; I wanna be undisputed champion, but it doesn't all depend on me. If it all depends on me, I fight for all four belts... I hope they are listening to me, what I want. I'm like a kid who has a dream; I want to go with this dream.”
