Former WBC Silver Light Heavyweight Champion Dmitry Kudryashov told that the representatives of the Russians Dmitry Bivol and Artur Beterbiev it is not profitable to unite boxers in a duel for the title of absolute light heavyweight world champion.
32-year-old WBA light heavyweight champion Bivol 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. WBC, IBF and WBO champion Beterbiev has won 18 stoppages in 18 professional fights. On January 28, Beterbiev will defend his belts against Britain’s Anthony Yarde in London.
– I am already a shredded kalach in martial arts. I understand that it is absolutely not profitable for the promoters to do this mega-fight. Yes, in Russia we want to see how our two guys find out who is stronger. It is in a sporting context that this confrontation is very interesting. They are boxers of different styles. One acts powerfully, the other is a player and counter-puncher. I fully understand the promoters – why should any of them lose such fatty fish. They are boxers at the top. They have someone to win. Bivol has (Joshua) Buatsi looming, possibly a rematch with Canelo.
Although I don’t believe in a rematch with Canelo either, because the Mexican team has some smart people. Because of what they are going to win today – I don’t quite understand. Beterbiev too, I think, will find light heavyweights who will want to try his hand,” Kudryashov told .
