Undefeated Russian boxer, WBC, WBO and IBF light heavyweight world champion Artur Beterbiev spoke of a possible fight against Dmitri Bivol .
– Everything is real. Dmitry Bivol has been saying for three years that he wants to box with me. In our division, anyone who wanted to box, we already put the belts together and had fights. Simply saying “I want” and going to fight are two different things.
— I have heard the opinion that Bivol’s team may be deliberately delaying the fight, waiting for Beterbiev to start aging. Do you allow this?
– When will I walk with a cane, right? Let’s see, maybe I’ll start. I don’t want to invent anything there now. But I mean if anyone wants to box… we had champions in the division – Gvozdyk, Joe Smith. So they responded and we immediately staged a battle. And he just talks about it, but there is nothing more,” Bivol said, as quoted by Sport24.
Dmitry Bivol, 32, fought 21 fights in professional boxing and won 21 victories. Beterbiev, 38, has 19 fights and 19 victories (all by knockout).
