Russian boxer Artur Beterbiev, in a duel with Briton Callum Smith, demonstrated his stability – his power, said former IBF champion Shavkat Rakhimov.
On Saturday in Canada, Beterbiev defeated Briton Callum Smith by technical knockout in the seventh round and defended the WBC, IBF, WBO light heavyweight world titles. The 38-year-old Russian now has 20 victories (20 by KO) and no defeats. Bivol, who has 22 victories in 22 fights, holds the WBA championship belt. At the end of December in Saudi Arabia, Bivol beat Briton Lyndon Arthur by unanimous decision.
– As always, Arthur showed his power. I was confident of a knockout. Now I’m waiting for him to meet Dmitry Bivol. Nothing can be predicted in this fight. They are both our boxers, may the strongest win,” Rakhimov told .
