Earlier, this date was mentioned by Bivol manager Vadim Kornilov in a conversation with .
— I sympathize with the two boxers. Arthur’s boxing is closer to me, but I know Dima and I like him. I fought with Dima, we had a very good session. Probably, due to my personal knowledge, I will be biased, so I give some preference to Bivol.
But Arthur is a boxing juggernaut. Everyone thinks he’s just a powerful boxer who can just punch. No! Watch how he keeps his distance, how he keeps his opponent in suspense, how he presses him against the ropes and breaks him there. The question is whether he will be able to do this with Dima with his steering wheel and front hand and phenomenal functional endurance… Dima is gaining strength with every round. Yes, it doesn’t have a single can, but the shot tonnage is crazy. Believe me, I know what I’m talking about,” Voitsekhovsky told .
Beterbiev, 39, holds championship titles according to WBC, WBO, IBF and has 20 first victories in 20 fights. Bivol, 33, holds the WBA belt and has 22 victories in 22 fights.
