Dmitry Bivol and Artur Beterbiev to meet again in the ring to challenge for the title of champion for the third time
On the night of February 23, the second fight between Russian boxers Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol took place in Saudi Arabia. The title of absolute world champion in the light heavyweight division was at stake. From the first minutes of the fight, Bivol took the center of the ring, using the jab to control the distance. Beterbiev, known for his power and aggressive tactics, tried to get closer to deliver power punches, but Bivol demonstrated excellent footwork and defense, skillfully avoiding attacks. In the middle of the fight, Beterbiev landed several powerful punches on his opponent, which made him stagger. However, Bivol quickly recovered and continued his plan, responding with accurate combinations. In the final rounds, Bivol looked fresher and more active, which allowed him to win by unanimous decision. Thus, he took revenge for the previous defeat and became the absolute world champion in the light heavyweight division. This victory brought him the championship belts and the first defeat in Beterbiev's career.
Now new prospects are opening up for Bivol: he has risen in the rankings and surpassed his opponent according to The Ring among the best boxers regardless of weight category. Ahead of him is the third fight with Beterbiev, for which he gave up the WBA title. The World Boxing Council (WBC) obliged Dmitry to defend the title against the mandatory challenger - David Benavidez. Despite his disappointment with the WBC decision, Bivol expressed his respect for the decision and stated his intention to regain the title in the future. For now, he is focused on unifying the remaining belts.
Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol are names that command respect and admiration in the boxing arena. Both are light heavyweight world champions and are striving to go down in history as the greatest boxers of all time. Artur Beterbiev is renowned for his relentless power: all 19 of his wins have come by knockout. He is a master at adapting to his opponents, finding their weaknesses, as demonstrated by his victories over Oleksandr Gvozdyk and Anthony Yarde.
Dmitry Bivol, on the other hand, is distinguished by elegance and technical mastery. He is a defensive virtuoso with an exceptional sense of distance and the ability to evade punches. His style combines speed, precision and tactical flexibility. The victory over Saul "Canelo" Alvarez became a sensation in world boxing, confirming his high level of skill.
