Ever since his fight with Canelo Alvarez in 2022, Dmitry Bivol insisted on fighting for an undisputed title in the sport. Likewise, for the Russian boxer, it was either a rematch with Canelo Alvarez at 168 lbs for the latter’s Undisputed Super-Middleweight title or a fight against Unified Light-Heavyweight champion, Artur Beterbiev. However, since the fight with Canelo did not come to fruition, Bivol focused on Beterbiev. Finally, Beterbiev vs. Bivol seems to have a future in the sport.

As per the latest updates, although a contract has yet to be signed, Dmitry Bivol and Artur Beterbiev will likely lock horns on June 1 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. As expected, the duo will compete for the Undisputed Light-Heavyweight title of the world. In this context, it is worth mentioning that while Bivol is 22-0-0, Beterbiev flexes a record of 20-0-0. Additionally, while Bivol has won 50% of his fights via knockouts, Beterbiev has a 100% KO rate in the sport. Of course, Beterbiev will be the hardest test Bivol has faced in the ring.

On the other hand, Dan Rafael also informed that Seniesa Estrada and Oscar Valdez will fight on the same card this summer.
