WBC, WBO, IBF Champion Arthur Beterbiev said that the organizers of the fight against the WBA light heavyweight champion Dmitri Bivol took into account his wishes regarding the date, as he must prepare for combat after Ramadan.
Beterbiev, 39, and Bivol, 33, have spoken repeatedly about their willingness to fight. Earlier, Bivol’s manager Vadim Kornilov told that the fight for the title of absolute world light heavyweight champion would take place in Saudi Arabia on June 1.
— Soon, everything will be clear. Yes, they are talking about the date June 1st. I needed more time to prepare after Ramadan. The organizers took this point into account. I don’t want to be the reason the fight is postponed. That’s why I said that this date was more appropriate (than the others proposed), – reports Beterbiev, correspondent.
