WBA Russian light heavyweight champion Dmitri Bivol spoke about preparations for the fight with Lyndon Arthur, noting that the Briton is a troublesome opponent.
The fight between Bivol and Arthur will take place on December 23 in Saudi Arabia.
— In the world rankings, he’s not so bad. Among those that can be obtained today on the date December 23, this is probably the best option, since the rest of the boxers are busy.
Good boxer? Yes. I can’t say he’s a legend, but nevertheless, I tell myself that he is the strongest boxer in the world, so I don’t relax and prepare well. He holds the IBO title. It’s not the most prestigious organization, but it represents something.
He is a very clumsy boxer. Not particularly active, but meets well on the right. In other words, he has a good counter-right. He is constantly on guard with his left and when he steps back, he strikes with his right,” Bivol was quoted as saying by Metaratings.ru.
WBA champion Bivol, 32, has 21 victories in the professional ring (11 by KO). Last year, the Russian defended his belt twice, defeating Mexicans Saul Alvarez (in May) and Gilberto Ramirez (in November), and was recognized by the WBA as boxer of the year. Arthur is 32 years old and has 23 victories and one defeat.
