Olympic champion and former head coach of the Russian national team Alexander Lebzyak compared the qualities Artur Beterbiev And Dmitry Bivol noting that the latter has superior technical and tactical skills.
Beterbiev previously announced on that his eventual duel with Bivol could 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).
– Arthur looked better throughout the fight with Anthony Yarde. Maybe the Brit won a round or two. But Beterbiev was better and deservedly won. Now everyone is talking about the Beterbiev-Bivol fight. It will be a legendary fight if it happens. Two Russian boxers who entered the elite of world boxing. I wish them good luck and good boxing.
The organization of the fight depends on the promoters. I think before the end of the year or next year they should meet. Sooner or later. In their division, only themselves pose a threat to each other. Outside the ring, everyone remains friends, but there can only be one king in the ring.
Artur and Dmitry were in my Russian team. They didn’t fight because Artur had already left by then, and Dmitry had just appeared. They are both workaholics, laborers who have devoted themselves entirely to training. These little things came together in a ball, which helped them prove themselves on a professional level.
I can’t say which of them is more talented, but Dima has higher technical and tactical skills. But it’s not three rounds, but 12. Any oversight can end tragically, Lebzyak told MMA.Metaratings.ru.
