WBA Russian Light Heavyweight Champion (Super) Dmitry Bivol in an interview with he said he wanted to fight with a compatriot with the WBO, WBC and IBF belts Artur Beterbiev but this meeting is very difficult to organize.
Bivol, 32, has 21 wins (11 by knockout) in the professional ring. Bivol, due to victories over Mexicans Saul Alvarez and Gilberto Ramirez, has been recognized as the best boxer of 2022 by many publications and organizations, including the WBA. Moreover, the Russian was named the best by pundits.
— The meeting with Artur Beterbiev has been talked about for a very, very long time, and every day there are more and more doubts that your confrontation will one day take place.
– This fight is difficult to organize, it really is.
“I’m sure you both have the desire to hold a unification duel, but the desire sometimes deviates from the reality.
– Not sometimes, but very often it diverges. On the other hand, when you have wanted something for a long time, it is – once – and it turns out. The biggest problem for many people is not being ready for what they wanted. The main thing is that you need to wish, make every effort for it and be ready for it to come true.
– In general, you believe in confrontation with Beterbiev and are ready for it.
– I believe, and I try to be mentally prepared for that.
On January 28, Beterbiev will defend his belts against Britain’s Anthony Yarde in London.
