The fight between Bivol and Beterbiev for the title of absolute world light heavyweight champion was to take place on June 1 in Riyadh. On Saturday it became known that Beterbiev was injured and the fight was postponed until the end of the year.
— I saw that the fight was postponed until the end of the year. This is a huge fight, and both sides need to go into it fully prepared and loaded! It happens in boxing. Someone was injured and the fight was postponed. The main thing is that the fight remains at the same status – for the title of absolute world champion. In any case, this fight, whether for the absolute champion or not, interests everyone. These are two styles, two fighters who must find out who the champion is.
Whether titles are at stake or not, in any case today, tomorrow, everywhere and always their meeting is interesting. It is better to go into battle in perfect health. If something bothers you, even just a little, it’s best not to go out. I myself felt this bitter experience and I would not want to do it again,” Kurbanov told .
Bivol, 33, has 22 victories in 22 fights and is a WBA world champion. The holder of the WBC, WBO, IBF belts, Beterbiev, aged 39, has 20 first victories in the professional ring.
