The undefeated Russian fighters Dmitrii Bivol and Artur Beterbiev, two of the top boxing stars, will be facing off this Saturday at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. This will be the first-ever Light Heavyweight fight where the belts of the World Boxing Association (WBA), World Boxing Council (WBC), International Boxing Federation (IBF), and World Boxing Organization (WBO) will be at stake. The arena has a capacity of 26 thousand spectators.
Bivol, 33, originally from Tokmak, Kyrgyzstan, now residing in Indio, California, has remained undefeated in all 23 of his professional fights. He has held the WBA light heavyweight title since November 4, 2015, successfully defending it on 15 occasions.
Beterbiev, 39, hailing from Khasavyurt, Russia, has been a dominant force with the WBC, IBF, and WBO belts for the past 7 years. All 20 opponents he has faced have fallen before the end of the scheduled rounds, with a 100% knockout rate.
The upcoming fight is expected to be a thrilling showdown between these two powerhouse fighters. Predicting the outcome is difficult, with bookmakers giving a slight edge to Bivol due to his technical skills, but Beterbiev’s aggressive style poses a real threat.
Both fighters have had limited activity in recent years, with Bivol’s last fight against Zinad and Beterbiev’s against Callum Smith. Their previous fights have showcased their talents, setting the stage for an exciting battle on Saturday at the Kingdom Arena.
Stay tuned for the highly anticipated showdown between Bivol and Beterbiev on Saturday at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh.
