Dmitry Bivol is fighting on two fronts as he prepares for the biggest fight of his career. The WBA light heavyweight champion will put everything on the line when he challenges the unified champion Artur Beterbiev for all the straps at 175 on October 12. However, he might have some of his secrets traded out by his ex-wife, Ekaterina, who relayed a message to his rival, listing out his past injuries.

The Bivols put an end to their sixteen years of marriage last year in August, and since then Ekaterina has posted a string of social media posts, where she blasted her former husband, revealing what went wrong in their marriage. She has alleged domestic violence and non-payment of child support for the upbringing of their two children. In addition, she had also shown her bruised photos to support her claim. She has utilized her social media handle to call out the light heavyweight champion publically.

In the latest of those stories, Ekaterina posted a couple of Instagram stories, including a direct DM to Beterbiev, 39, urging him to bag the win, a screengrab of which she shared in one of her stories. In addition, she also sent a detailed description of Bivol’s injuries. Diego Mayra, a boxing fan, shared the snap of the Instagram story on his X handle, along with their translations.

The translated version read, “I want to tell you everything I know: he has a stress fracture of a vertebra in his back, all his hands have been operated on and not just once, one elbow for sure, very sore knees, his left ear is constantly swelling, it has been broken many times, and fluid has accumulated in his eye many times, sometimes he can’t see well. But the main thing is that he is a coward! We need your victory, Arthur.” What is even surprising is that she tagged Eddie Hearn, Bivol’s promoter, and Matchroom Boxing in one of her stories. The bashing only seems to be growing stronger by the day.

Only a few days ago, Ekaterina had blasted Dmitry Bivol for failing to perform his duties as a father and pay adequate child support. And it didn’t stop there.

Ex-wife Ekaterina alleges Dmitry Bivol avoiding responsibilities

Taking to her social media handle, Ekaterina shared images of their wedding. But she took a jibe at the WBA champion for not shouldering responsibilities after getting a divorce. She wrote in the caption, “Married – Take responsibility. Divorced- Be responsible. Parent – Bear responsibility.”

Ekaterina then shunned Bivol and labeled him “weak,” and “coward” for not keeping his promise, which could have been a reference to his child support non-compliance. She added, “Did not think that day I was marrying a weak person. Now I see and know he is a coward that doesn’t keep his word, that he is weak.”

The saga might affect Dmitry Bivol and cause dissonance and distraction in him. But it remains to be seen whether it affects his performance inside the squared circle against Artur Beterbiev.
