The Dmitry Bivol coach is talking very tough lately on David Benavidez and has come to the spot light more than ever. Who is he?
Who is the Dmitry Bivol coach in the first place?
He’s had some solid success with Bivol as the light-heavyweight champion but all of a sudden he is piping up saying someone needs to get in the ring with David Benavidez to shut him up?
Almost if he wants to get in the ring with Benavidez?
Some things to note here.
Who is Bivol’s trainer Gennady Mashyanov if you never heard of him:
- Name: Gennady Mashyanov.
- From: St. Petersburg, Russia.
- Trained Bivol since age 11.
- Soviet boxing background: Old-school fundamentals.
- Built Bivol’s defense: Footwork, jab, distance control.
- Low profile: Rarely gives interviews.
- All pro fights: Cornered Bivol in all 25 bouts.
- Gameplan guy: Focuses on discipline and execution.
- Not a former pro: Never fought professionally.
- Team role: Works with manager Vadim Kornilov on career moves.
Bivol and his team have been acting very strangely recently.
Very unlike them for some reason.
The fact remains Bivol vs Benavidez would be an excellent fight and only the two boxers can compete against one another.
Who knows what fights both will be in this year but it would be a solid fight if it can be made.
Dmitry Bivol returns later this month in a defense following surgery recently.
