The fight took place on Saturday in Riyadh and lasted 12 rounds. Bivol won by unanimous decision.
— I didn’t watch this tournament. You know I don’t watch boxing. I am only interested in my opponents’ fights, which I watch during preparation. I just don’t have time for everything else. There are 3 weeks left before my fight, so I am completely focused on it,” Beterbiev told .
Bivol has not suffered a single defeat in the professional ring: the 33-year-old Russian has won 22 victories (11 by knockout).
