Two-time Olympic champion Oleg Saitov said that because of his boxing style he would be more likeable Dmitri Bivol in a fight with Artur Beterbiev.
The fight between the Russian boxers will take place on October 12 in Saudi Arabia. Bivol has 23 wins and no losses. He holds the IBO and WBA light heavyweight belts. Beterbiev has 20 wins and no losses. He holds the IBF, WBO and WBC belts.
“I respect these guys very much, I am friends with them. To say that I will support someone… I will just wish him to avoid injuries, so that he loses only points. But Dmitry Bivol’s boxing style is closer to amateur, closer to my style. That is why (in terms of sympathy) I will lean in this direction. I wish you both good health. And the main result of this fight is that Russia will have an absolute champion,” Saitov told .
