Arman Tsarukyan met with Yoel Alvarez in New Jersey and jokingly proposed a future rematch scenario. Tsarukyan suggested that Alvarez could take the 170-pound title while he captures the 155-pound championship, then they could meet again. The two previously fought in February 2022, when Tsarukyan defeated Alvarez by second-round TKO via ground-and-pound. Since that loss, Alvarez has remained undefeated and moved up to welterweight, where he has already secured one victory against Vicente Luque in October. The friendly encounter highlights the respect between the fighters despite their competitive history.
