Promoter Vladimir Khryunov in an interview with , he expressed the opinion that the unification bout between world light heavyweight boxing champions Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivoly would not take place.
Beterbiev holds the world titles of the World Boxing Council (WBC), the International Boxing Federation (IBF) and the World Boxing Organization (WBO), Bivol is a champion of the World Boxing Association (WBA). At the moment, the Russians have contracts with various promoters and TV channels, although both have admitted that they would like to meet.
– They are two different boxers, people with two different models of natural data. We managed to work with Beterbiev, we fought well. Artur has health, which can only be obtained if you lived in Chechnya as a child. The health of the earth, the health that comes from physical labor. He is genetically healthy, genetically a predator. His rapacity is a danger to Bivol.
But I’m sure there won’t be a fight between them. There’s no one to do it, because they have different TV channels in their contracts, they’re not going to interact with each other, they’re two different companies. I think different promoters will chase titles in their own way, Khryunov told .
Beterbiev has won 19 career wins (all by knockout) in 19 fights. The undefeated Bivol has 21 wins (11 by KO).
