In a long-awaited showdown for the undisputed title, Dmitry Bivol and Artur Beterbiev are set to face off in Saudi Arabia. The two undefeated light-heavyweights were scheduled to meet earlier but were delayed due to Beterbiev’s injury. Finally, the time has come for them to share the ring in Riyadh. Beterbiev holds the WBC, WBO, and IBF belts, while Bivol, at 33 years old, is the WBA Super champion.
Both fighters are revered in the boxing world, with Beterbiev ranked at No. 6 and Bivol at No. 5 in the Indy Sport pound-for-pound list. Beterbiev, known for his devastating punching power, boasts a perfect 20-0 record with 20 knockouts, while Bivol, a skilled technician and volume puncher, holds a record of 23-0 with 12 KOs. The contrasting styles of these two fighters promise an intriguing match-up.
The fight night is not just about the main event, as the undercard features exciting bouts. Chris Eubank Jr will be in action before the headline fight, and heavyweights Fabio Wardley and Frazer Clarke will have a rematch following their epic draw for the British title earlier this year.
