Ziorov won the 2019 World Championships of amateur boxing and is an international force to reckon with in the flyweight division.

Alvarez won the world title of amateur boxing in 2011, 2013, and 2015 as well as winning the gold medal at the 2011, 2015, and 2019 Pan American Games.

He has Olympic experience as well, winning the bronze in both 2012 and 2016 and is another worthy choice for the top spot for those looking to bet on the Olympics.
