Artur Beterbiev vs. Dmitry Bivol: The Battle for Light Heavyweight Supremacy
This Saturday, boxing fans are in for a treat as Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol face off in a highly anticipated fight for the undisputed light heavyweight title in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The fight was initially scheduled for June but was postponed after Beterbiev required surgery for a ruptured meniscus. Both fighters come into this bout with undefeated records—Beterbiev boasting a fearsome 20-0 with all wins by knockout, and Bivol holding a solid 23-0, known for his footwork and technical prowess, including his upset win over Canelo Alvarez in 2022.

With both fighters ranked high on the pound-for-pound lists across boxing platforms like ESPN and CBS Sports, this bout could be a defining moment for either fighter’s legacy.
