Russian Artur Beterbiev will achieve victory over his compatriot Dmitri Bivol due to the advantage in physical strength, former contender for the WBA junior middleweight belt Magomed Kurbanov told .
The fight for the title of absolute light heavyweight world 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.
— This is a very important fight for Russian boxing, for world boxing! This greatly motivates other boxers in our country. I think stylistically Beterbiev and Bivol are good here. We must not forget the physical power and pressure of Beterbiev in the ring. Therefore, I am more inclined to believe that Arthur will win. With all due respect to Bivol, he lands excellent counterattacks, works through the jab and responds sharply. And I want the strongest to win! “Anything can happen in this fight, and I won’t name anyone in particular, both are excellent boxers, but I think Beterbiev’s physicality and pressure will play a key role in this fight,” Kurbanov told .
