Organize a rematch between Russian boxers Dmitri Bivol And Artur Beterbiev simply necessary, only the second battle will answer many questions. Light heavyweight Vasily Voitsekhovsky shared this opinion with .
Earlier, journalist Dan Rafael reported on the Fight Freaks Unite podcast that the second fight between Bivol and Beterbiev could take place in Riyadh on February 22. Bivol’s team later confirmed to that they were negotiating a rematch, but without any details. The first fight between two Russian boxers took place on October 12, 2024, also in Riyadh, and ended with Beterbiev’s victory by split decision. As a result of this fight, Beterbiev became the absolute light heavyweight world champion. Wojciechowski was Beterbiev’s sparring partner during his preparation for the fight with Bivol. As his career progressed, Wojciechowski also participated in training camps with Bivol.
“I think it’s the biggest fight in the light heavyweight division right now. Both Arthur and Dmitry will be able to earn a lot of money from this story. As far as I know, there are figures in the range of $30 million each. This is a great opportunity to make money. And on the sports side, I think the guys should still fight. After all, there are no other suitors! Now someone’s on the way, someone’s still not up to it. The IBF has now ordered Arthur to defend himself against Michael Eifert. But it will be a new race against Beterbiev’s opponent. This is why, of course, we need a second fight, because the first one left many questions. And a rematch will dot all the i’s,” Voitsekhovsky told .
