The fight for the title of absolute world light heavyweight champion will take place on October 12 in Saudi Arabia. Bivol has 23 victories and no defeats. He holds the IBO and WBA light heavyweight belts. Beterbiev has 20 victories and not a single defeat. He holds the IBF, WBO and WBC belts.
“I cannot say precisely what will happen in the fight between Dmitry Bivol and Artur Beterbiev, because they are strong boxers. In percentage terms, I place it between 60 and 40 in favor of Beterbiev. Arthur can win through pressure and force. Bivol may feel uncomfortable under such pressure. But Dmitry also knows how to fight, he is very technical. I am very interested in this fight myself. This is a battle between technology and strength and power. For a 12 round fight, this is a very important factor.
Yes, this fight is very important for Russian boxing. Remember how upset everyone was when this was postponed. I’m very interested in the storyline that the fight itself will follow. Dmitry may be having mental problems because of all the family stuff lately. And I spoke with Beterbiev’s coach, everything is going well in the camp. We are really looking forward to this fight! – Abdullaev told .
Earlier, the press service of RCC Boxing Promotions told that Abdullaev will face local boxer Juan Javier Carrasco for second place in the IBF lightweight rankings on October 19 in Argentina.
