Athletistic/ Boxing. World light heavyweight champion Dmitry Bivol has spoken about his intention to have a unification bout with Artur Beterbiev.

Artur Beterbiev knocked out Joe Smith Jr the day before and became the three-version world champion at light heavyweight. Later, Artur also requested a fight with Bivol.

“I’m not surprised by this result. From the start it was clear that Smith was not following the opponent, that played a part. Smith just couldn’t hit, Beterbiev did it faster. Congratulations to Artur for the win. I definitely want a unification duel and I’ve always talked about it. How real is the fight with Arthur? Certainly not now. Although I have certain obligations, and Arthur may have a fight with Yard, but I would love to fight him,” Bivol said.
