It’s official! On Saturday June 01, 2024, Russian boxer Artur Beterviev will face Dmitry Bivol to unify the WBC, IBO, WBO, IBF and WBA middleweight world titles.
This 12-round bout is eagerly awaited by all boxing fans, as it pits two unbeaten fighters against each other in a sensational showdown.
Artur Berterbiev, who holds the WBC, IBF and IBO belts, will have to try to reclaim the WBA and IBO belts held by the phenomenon Dmitry Bivol, who made a name for himself with his victory over Mexico’s Canelo Alvarez.
But in this fight, nothing seems to be a foregone conclusion for the Beterbiev phenomenon, since he’ll be facing one of the most feared boxers in the division. Indeed, the Russian boxer has 20 KOs to his credit from as many pro fights, giving him a KO ratio of 100%, which is almost unheard of in boxing.
Artur Beterbiev will have his work cut out too, as he faces a 33-year-old boxer with no fewer than 22 pro fights to his name, 11 of them won by KO.
This 12-round bout, which will take place in Ryadh, Saudi Arabia, will also see the introduction of the new undisputed belt for the light heavyweights category, made possible thanks to the contribution of turkialalshik.
