Manager of Dmitry Bivol Vadim Kornilov in a conversation with “Sport Day by Day” expressed confidence in his client’s fight with Artur Beterbiev .
Beterbiev, who owns the WBC, WBO, IBF championship belts, announced Thursday on that his possible fight with Bivolom may take place in May or June 2023. Beterbiev has 19 first wins in 19 fights in the professional ring. The WBA world champion Bivol has 21 victories (11 by KO).
– Recently, Artur Beterbiev confidently defended his three titles in the prestigious versions of WBO, IBF and WBC. This victory brought us closer to the duel Bivol – Beterbiev?
“I’m sure this mega-fight will happen sooner or later. But there are some obstacles. For example, boxers have contracts with different TV stations and promoters. Moreover, it is now very difficult to realize a fight between two Russians somewhere abroad, and title fights are still prohibited in Russia. These are difficulties that will have to be solved and overcome in one way or another.
Dima dreams of becoming an absolute champion. But that doesn’t mean he’s aiming to beat Beterbiev at all. Yes, it turns out that in order to realize this dream, two Russians have to fight. I think Artur Beterbiev has the same ambitions. These two guys have beaten nearly every major competitor in their weight class to date. Probably, fate has developed so that they will have to meet and prove to everyone who is better. It’s a question of time.
