On Saturday in Riyadh, Bivol defeated Zinad by technical knockout in the sixth round and defended the WBA and IBO light heavyweight belts.

The fight could have ended earlier, Bivol simply did not force things and defeated his opponent calmly. Zinad began to provoke Dmitry and after the fourth round a kind of skirmish occurred. In the end, everything is stable, Bivol shows excellent and beautiful boxing,” Sergeev told .
Bivol won all 23 fights in the professional ring; Zinad had 22 victories and one defeat.
