Potential date for Beterbiev-Bivol rematch named

Both fighters have come a long way to this fight. Beterbiev's last performance before this fight with Bivol was a meeting on January 13, 2024 with Callum Smith for the WBC, WBO and IBF belts. Artur emerged victorious, winning by knockout, which led to a unanimous decision of the judges. Thus, the Dagestani again got the opportunity to qualify for a meeting with Bivol. On June 1, 2024, Dmitry Bivol spectacularly defeated Malik Zinad by technical knockout. On October 12, 2024, the fundamental fight took place, Bivol and Beterbiev, where Artur won.

Beterbiev is older, more experienced, but he is almost forty - an impressive age for a boxer, but this did not prevent him from winning by decision of the judges. Bivol is very technically competent and incredibly resilient and does not agree with the judges' decision, because this defeat was the first in his career. Both have sky-high professional ambitions, so a rematch will definitely take place. It is clear that they will probably be simply sky-high, since both athletes are top-class fighters, and their fight is a world-class event.

Unlike many boxers, like Fury, who like to arrange a real baiting of the opponent before the fight, inflating the interest of fans through scandalous behavior, Beterbiev and Bivol behave very decently, and speak about each other exclusively in a respectful tone. Both are aware of the difficulty of the upcoming fight, because Beterbiev will have to prove his right to the title, and Bivol will have to "wash away" the defeat.
