Four months after their first encounter in the ring, Artur Beterbiev will battle Dmitry Bivol with his undefeated record on the line.
Back in October, Beterbiev (21-0, 20 KOs) defeated Bivol (23-1, 12 KOs) by majority decision. He added the WBA belt to his WBC, WBO and IBF titles but still ended his streak of KOs. The fight was Bivol’s first loss in his 24-fight career so far, so he’s entering tonight’s fight looking for vengeance.
In their first fight, Bivol put his classic technical style on display, but Beterbiev’s ability to land power punches is what propelled him to the victory, earning scores of 115-113 and 116-112 from two judges and a 114-114 draw from the third.
Tonight’s fight will be broadcast live from Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
