The strongest Russian boxer of our time is returning to UMMC Arena: Dmitry Bivol is scheduled to defend his light heavyweight title in Yekaterinburg against Britain's Callum Smith. The Bivol-Callum Smith fight will be the world champion's second consecutive home fight and the main event of an RCC Boxing event. Dmitry Bivol vs. Callum Smith: tickets for the boxing event are already on sale, and demand is high – in May, the arena stands enthusiastically supported Dmitry, and this support became an additional advantage for his title defense. Tickets for the Bivol-Smith fight are worth purchasing in advance while the best sectors are still available.
Dmitry Bivol has 25 wins (12 by knockout) and one loss – to Artur Beterbiev in October 2024, for which the Russian took revenge in February 2025 and became the undisputed world champion. During his career, Bivol has won against Gilberto Ramirez, Saul Alvarez, and Joe Smith Jr., who shouldn't be confused with his current opponent: American Joe Smith lost to Bivol on points back in 2019. Today, Dmitry Bivol is considered the number one contender in the light heavyweight division: he holds the WBO, WBA, and IBF belts and is The Ring champion. Bivol's list of opponents is impressive, but Callum Smith, according to the organizers, is more dangerous than most: the Briton is the WBO mandatory challenger, has a record of 31 wins and two losses (31-2), and holds the interim belt. For both sides, the cost of a mistake in this championship fight is extreme, and the teams understand this.
