At any moment, it seemed, Canelo Alvarez was going to burst out laughing when he took the ceremonial face-to-face with WBA light heavyweight titlist Dmitry Bivol after their weigh-in for their Saturday night fight at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, streamed live on DAZN.

Alvarez (57-1-2, 39 knockouts) weighed 174.4, roughly the same weight he came in for his light heavyweight debut when he stopped then-WBO titlist Sergey Kovalev in November 2019.

Bivol (19-0, 11 KOs) came in at 174.6, slightly heavier than his previous three fights, when he weighed 174.5
