In the boxing world, where punches, drama, and unexpected turns intertwine, every fight announcement becomes a sensation. Eddie Hearn, a name synonymous with big boxing bouts, recently dropped a bombshell. He hinted at Dmitry Bivol possibly stepping into the ring against Lyndon Arthur. Two fighters, one title, and a world of anticipation.

Is Eddie Hearn making the right call with Bivol’s next bout?
Dmitry Bivol, a name that echoed in the boxing arenas, has been absent for quite a while. His hiatus from the ring left fans in suspense, eagerly waiting for his return. When Eddie Hearn hinted at his comeback against Lyndon Arthur, it rekindled the anticipation. But the reactions? They varied widely.
Firstly, one fan believes this fight might be too intense or mismatched, almost akin to witnessing a “murder scene.” This sentiment stems from Bivol’s impressive track record and the reputation he’s built over the years.
