The moment that boxing fans have been desperately waiting for is here. Dmitry Bivol and Artur Beterbiev will step into the ring against each other for the second time in just four months for the undisputed light heavyweight rematch. The last time the two faced each other, it was a barnburner, one of the best fights of the year.

The duo is now ready to steal the show once again in Riyadh on possibly the most stacked card of the year. While Beterbiev will try to hold onto his undisputed title, Bivol will make sure to learn from his mistakes and turn the tide around. This is a significant bout for the fighters, their teams, and even for the fans. So, let’s take a closer look at some key details about possibly the biggest event of the year.

What time will the Artur Beterbiev vs. Dmitry Bivol fight start? Date and venue

Kingdom Arena, responsible for hosting Bivol and Beterbiev’s last fight and several other big fights under the Riyadh Season banner will once again host this high-stakes showdown on February 22, 2025. The multi-purpose stadium was built in just 180 days in 2023 and can accommodate up to 27,000 spectators. The fans can expect a sold-out crowd because who in their right mind will miss this fight? This will be Dmitry Bivol’s fourth consecutive fight in the Kingdom Arena while Artur Beterbiev has only fought once here.

In a rare instance, Riyadh Season broadcasters have not announced the timings of the event yet. However, like previous Riyadh Season events, we can expect the undercard to kick off at around 9-10 pm local time (which is 6-7 p.m. GMT; 1-2 p.m. ET; 10-11 a.m. PT). We can expect the main event ring walks to start around 2-3 a.m. local time (which is 11 p.m. GMT; 6 p.m. ET; 3 p.m. PT).

When Beterbiev and Bivol first met four months ago, the duo not only put their titles on the line but also their undefeated records. Well, the Russian fighter came out of that bout with both intact and became the first undisputed light heavyweight champion since Roy Jones Jr. in 1999, while Bivol fell just short. The duo stole the show and produced magic with punches.

After the fight, Beterbiev accepted that he “wanted to box today with more quality,” and didn’t like the way he fought. On the other hand, the man from Kyrgyzstan knew he “have to do everything perfect,” and refused to look for any excuses for his loss. The pair immediately demanded a rematch and His Excellency Turki Alalshikh made it happen without wasting a second.

Fans can expect a similar masterpiece from the duo this time around as well. However, now that the pair are more serious and focused on the fight. They might even surpass their last performance, making it an unmissable clash. However, the whole card is like that. Stacked from top to bottom, this is possibly one of the greatest undercards ever assembled.
