ASA Heavyweight Champion Evgeny Goncharov in a conversation with , he called Dmitry Bivol a slight favorite in the fight with his compatriot Artur Beterbiev.
The fight for the title of absolute world light heavyweight champion between undefeated Russian boxers Bivol and Beterbiev will take place on October 12 in Saudi Arabia.
— It is difficult to make predictions for such a super fight. The Supermasters, the best boxers in this weight of the last ten years, will meet again. I think Bivol is a slight favorite. As a percentage, I give 55 to 45 in favor of Bivol. Dmitry is younger, he moves and Beterbiev is almost 40 years old. And perhaps that is the key factor. Even if age doesn’t always decide. I repeat, it is difficult to predict anything. In this confrontation, everything will be decided by the nuances – form, physical and mental state. Bivol wins on points and Beterbiev is the puncher. This makes watching this matchup all the more interesting. I’m sure it will be very interesting,” Goncharov told .
Bivol has 23 victories in his career and holds the IBO and WBA light heavyweight belts. Beterbiev has 20 victories and holds the IBF, WBO and WBC belts.
