The Winner Of Artur Beterbiev vs Dmitry Bivol Must Face Undefeated KO Artist To Keep Belt

By
Turki Alalshikh Artur Beterbiev Dmitry Bivol

Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol are set to face off for the second time in four months, with Beterbiev looking to retain the undisputed light-heavyweight title he gained in October of 2024.

Their first meeting was an elite-level display that saw Beterbiev go the twelve round distance for the first time in his pro campaign. In the eyes of two of the three scoring judges at ringside he did enough to win, with the other scoring it a draw.

Bivol has been gracious in defeat – his first in 24 fights – and landed a rematch quickly. Rather than criticising the decision, he has promised to train harder and leave no doubt this time around.

Whilst both men have dominated the light-heavyweight ranks for some time, there are two recent additions to the division who fancy their chances of stealing the crown.

They are David Benavidez and David Morrell. Both recently moved up from super-middle after failing to land a fight with unified champion Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez and, after one fight at the weight, will do battle on February 1.

The genuine bad blood between Benavidez (29-0, 24 KOs) and Cuba’s Morrell (11-0, 9 KOs) only adds to the intrigue of what is one of the most high-level and competitive bouts on the calendar. With Morrell putting his WBA Regular belt on the line and Benavidez his WBC Interim title, the fight has everything.

What’s more, the WBC has now confirmed that the winner will be ordered to face the winner of Beterbiev-Bivol.

“Interim champion David Benavidez will fight David Morrell on February 1. The winner will be the mandatory challenger of the division to fight the winner of Beterbiev vs. Bivol.”

With Beterbiev set to defend his belts just weeks after on February 22, the light-heavyweight division is worth keeping an eye on.

Dmitry Bivol Rematch Endangered by Unresolved Issues as Canelo Alvarez Reopens Doors to Dream Fight

By
Canelo Alvarez Dmitry Bivol

Unified super middleweight champion Canelo Alvarez has revealed that he is open to a rematch against former WBA light heavyweight champion Dmitry Bivol.

The pair initially clashed back in May 2022, which ended in a major upset with Bivol emerging victorious with a unanimous decision win. A rematch was previously discussed, but nothing came out of it.

Today, Canelo is reportedly close to finalizing a fight deal with former undisputed welterweight champion Terence Crawford. Meanwhile, Bivol is slated to go toe-to-toe in a rematch against undisputed light heavyweight champion Artur Beterbiev on February 22nd. Amid all this, ‘Cinnamon’ appeared in the Ring Magazine podcast recently, sharing his thoughts on the long overdue rematch with Dmitry Bivol.

“Yeah, why not?” he said when asked about the fight in the future. “I always have it in my mind. Always have that idea in my mind.” The Mexican superstar went as far as to reveal that he hopes Bivol wins his upcoming fight against Beterbiev, adding, “Maybe they have the three fights,” which according to him, makes their potential rematch “a difficult situation.”

However, he is hopeful that they will dance in the ring one more time, “We’ll see in the future. But I have it in my mind. Always have that little thing.” Despite Canelo’s willingness, things are indeed much more complicated than they seem. You see, Bivol is unlikely to come down to super middleweight anytime soon, a win against Beterbiev can’t change that.

It’s also unlikely that Canelo would climb back to 175 lbs following his last loss to Bivol in the division. But, more importantly, because of his potential fight against Crawford, Canelo is likely to remain at 168 lbs, at least for the time being. What’s even worse is that Dmitry Bivol had previously claimed he couldn’t come down to 168 because of his agreement with the Saudis.

Dmitry Bivol has cast doubt on the possibility of a rematch with Canelo Alvarez in the near future. “I don’t have him [Canelo] on my agenda… my mind is elsewhere right now. I have another route. Maybe in the future, we can face each other again, but not in the short term,” Bivol told Fight Hub last year in September.

Bivol revealed past efforts to arrange a rematch, even offering to fight at 168 pounds, but negotiations fell through. “We had the possibility of doing it for a couple of years, but his team and my team couldn’t come to an agreement,” he explained. Now, Bivol is prioritizing his commitments with Saudi Arabia and Matchroom Boxing. 

I can still give 168 pounds, but… I see my future with the Saudis, and with the options I have in my contract with them, and it is not in the plans to go down to 168 pounds,” he concluded.

That said, it appears the weight class difference between Canelo Alvarez and Dmitry Bivol has become an obstacle in making their rematch.

‘The Only Mistake’ Canelo Makes That Terence Crawford Can Exploit – Dmitry Bivol

By
Dmitry Bivol Canelo Alvarez Terence Crawford

Dmitry Bivol was the last man to beat Canelo Alvarez inside a boxing ring.

They met back in May 2022, with Canelo stepping up to 175lbs as he looked to once again claim world honours in the light heavyweight division.

It wasn’t to be though, as Bivol won the fight by unanimous decision, becoming just the second man after Floyd Mayweather to overcome the Mexican superstar.

Since that bout, Bivol went on to face Artur Beterbiev in an undisputed showdown in October, suffering a narrow defeat, with a rematch taking place next month.

As for Canelo, he returned to super-middleweight and made several defences of his world titles, and now looks to be on a collision course with fellow pound-for-pound star Terence Crawford.

The fight would see Crawford moving up several weight divisions, with some fans worried that it could prove to be a bridge too far for the former undisputed super-lightweight and welterweight champion.

Crawford disagrees, and may be interested to hear what mistakes Bivol felt Canelo made following their meeting nearly three years ago.

Speaking in the aftermath of his victory, Bivol explained exactly what Alvarez did wrong to potentially cost him the bout.

“He has good speed and good power. Maybe his mistake is he throws only hard punches. After hard punches he relaxes and he’s tired.”

Time will tell whether the same issue happens again for Canelo when the Crawford fight reportedly happens later this year, and the only man that has fought both boxers professionally, Amir Khan, has given his prediction for the bout.

Canelo, Bivol, and Beterbiev Face Immediate Threat as Benavidez, Munguia Receive Mandatory Orders

By
Canelo Alvarez Artur Beterbiev Dmitry Bivol

With the year drawing to a close and next year’s schedule falling into place, the lower divisions are looking pretty sharp. But that doesn’t mean upper echelons are sulking in silence.

The crosshairs still feature the Usyk-Fury rematch. Reports suggest moves heralding potential shake-ups at the light heavyweight and super middleweight divisions.

In the 175 lbs division, the decks are cleared for the rematch between Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol. Following their high-octane duel on October 12, the duo will team up for yet another dance. But it appears that the winner of the face-off will have a short time to celebrate. He will be staring at a challenger. One division below, at the super middleweight, the main character still drives the plot. With the crown atop his head still intact, Canelo Alvarez could face yet another title claimant early next year. It’s possible he may meet a familiar face.

Reportedly the WBC has taken a few critical decisions. First, a challenger for the winner of the bout between Beterbiev and Bivol. The two are now ready for yet another big showdown in Riyadh. Many consider the February 22 mega card as the greatest in boxing history. A string of exciting matches includes the likes of Daniel Dubois, Shakur Stevenson, and Vergil Ortiz Jr. defending their titles.

But before the fight, on February 1, at the T-Mobile Arena, David Benavidez and David Morrell Jr. will meet. A final title eliminator, the bout for Benavidez’s WBC interim light heavyweight title and Morrell Jr.’s regular WBA belt, will clear the path to challenge the winner of the Artur Beterbiev–Dmitry Bivol match, it seems.

A close perusal suggests a win-win, crackerjack array of matchups. Be it Beterbiev vs. Benavidez or Bivol vs. Morrell Jr. or just the reverse, either way, the lineups will be something purists will look forward to.

Given it already has a supremo reigning over it, the situation at the super middleweight might be slightly different, though.

On September 15, Canelo Alvarez defeated Edgar Berlanga during the year’s second title defense. Though no longer an undisputed champion, he still remains a formidable force to reckon with. It may be difficult to dislodge the Mexican superstar; nevertheless, the WBC has taken measures to dry-run a test. Date and venue details are yet to be confirmed; however, there will be a fight between Jaime Munguia and Christian M’billi for the WBC ‘interim’ super middleweight title. The winner stands a chance to dare Alvarez as the mandatory challenger.Screenshot 2024-12-11 163703

If he wins, Munguia, who will face the year’s fourth opponent on December 14, will be walking into a rematch. Early in May, he lost the title challenge to Alvarez on the Cinco de Mayo fixture. Nevertheless, he still retains the WBC silver super middleweight belt.

On the other hand, unbeaten M’billi defeated Sergiy Derevyanchenko to retain the WBC Continental Americas Championship. The ambitious Cameroonian-French fighter dreams of a shot at facing Canelo Alvarez, making the Munguia fight the opportunity he’s been waiting for. A win over the granite-chinned Munguia could bring him closer to his much-coveted dream.

[WATCH] Does Floyd Mayweather Have Same Power as Canelo? Shane Mosley Makes Bold Comparison

By
Floyd Mayweather Jr Canelo Álvarez

Though he lost the battle for the undisputed championship, gallantly, Dmitry Bivol stood his ground and took a KO artist the whole distance.

During one interview, when asked what it felt like to be at the receiving end of Artur Beterbiev‘s bone-breaking punches, Bivol drew attention to a rather curious facet. When it came to a single shot, he felt that former rival Canelo Álvarez hit harder than the new undisputed champion!

Now the angle seems to have struck a chord at several corners. Former three-division Shane Mosley shares a common history with Dmitry Bivol. Like the Kazakhstan-born boxer, he fought Canelo Alvarez in the past, albeit a decade earlier. However, one of Mosley’s momentous fights was against Floyd Mayweather Jr. So the comparison invariably arose between the unbeaten champion and the Mexican superstar. As for Bivol’s case, Mosley’s response seems to have drawn notable attention.

So this reporter asked, “Let me ask you this: What do you think about Floyd power?” And pat came the reply, “When I fought Floyd, his power was really good,” said ‘Sugar’ Shane Mosley. So much so that in terms of sheer speed and power, he felt that Mayweather Jr. was as good as Canelo Alvarez.

Needless to say, from approval to sarcasm and then to plain dismissal, the commentary box has been witnessing a range of views. However, Shane Mosley’s point may hold some weight. Mayweather Jr.’s overall knockout-to-win rate just manages to stay above water. But the fact remains that when he was ‘Pretty Boy Floyd’, he did pack a punch and win fights through early stoppage.

In 2013, squaring off against Alvarez, Mayweather Jr. delivered a boxing clinic that impresses boxing purists to this day. But again, the champion’s technical superiority stole the limelight with very few insights into his power. Many believe that during the second stage of his career, probably from the Zab Judah fight onward, Floyd Mayweather Jr. transitioned to ‘The Money’ Mayweather.

His fighting style witnessed a gross change; he preferred going the whole distance. One may argue that the transformation might have occurred because of his progressing age. Then one can barely downplay the quality of his opponents either.

When it comes to Canelo Alvarez, Dmitry Bivol could present a pronounced contrast. According to him, the unified super middleweight champion invests all his power into a single punch. So if there’s a combination, say three to five punches, the first incoming would hurt the most. But the subsequent ones gradually taper off in intensity. Hence, when it came to a single debilitating power shot, he definitely had an upper hand in comparison to Artur Beterbiev.

But there seems to be a caveat. “But if you ask them, let’s do like five punches, Beterbiev; every punch will be hard. With Canelo, maybe first hard and then not [so much]. If we ask him [Beterbiev] to do it, maybe his punch is harder, but he’s not using it,” said Dmitry Bivol.

For sure, millions of Mayweather fans would be elated. The technical prowess of the 50-0 former world champion remains unquestionable. A few may definitely find solace in that their icon never lacked in power either.

Canelo vs. Beterbiev, Who Hits Harder?: Dmitry Bivol Warned as He Answers the Burning Question

By

Former WBA light heavyweight champion Dmitry Bivol has officially fought two of the biggest names in boxing—Canelo Alvarez and Artur Beterbiev.

Now, the Russian technician has answered the question many have been asking since last Saturday night’s mega event in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Who hits harder—Canelo or Beterbiev?

The 33-year-old took on ‘Cinnamon’ back in April 2022, emerging victorious via unanimous decision after 12 rounds of battle. However, surprisingly, he could not produce the same results last weekend, as he lost the fight to Beterbiev via a majority decision, which is now shrouded in controversy.

Despite looking like the slightly better fighter in the 12-round skirmish, Bivol was handed his first career loss, as he continues to ask for a rematch to avenge his loss. Regardless, while appearing in an interview with Box Nation, Bivol expressed his thoughts about Beterbiev’s power.

The Kyrgyzstan-born boxer said, “He has very strong punches. [I felt] his right hand even through my left. My thumb is swollen because I was holding it on my head and he was beating on my hand.” Bivol added that because of the repeated blows from Beterbiev, who had entered the fight with a perfect knockout record, it felt as if Bivol’s guard was pushed inside his head.

After this statement became public, former super middleweight and light heavyweight champion Andre Ward reacted by suggesting Bivol should not indulge these details if he wants a rematch. “You should never concede this openly when there is potential for a rematch. Keep that to yourself! Too much talking,” he wrote on X.

However, things didn’t end there, as Bivol went on to compare Beterbiev’s power with Canelo Alvarez. While appearing in another interview with Fight Hub TV, Bivol told Marcos Villegas, “I could compare [it] with Canelo. He put all his energy, all his power [into] a single punch. [So,] sometimes he’s harder than Beterbiev.”

He explained that, unlike Canelo, Beterbiev doesn’t wind up his punches, rather he likes to fight in the pocket. However, when there are combinations or just the volume of punches is increased in the comparison, Beterbiev is the more powerful puncher. “Beterbiev, every punch will be [harder than] Canelo. Both of them are strong, but Beterbiev is bigger, and he’s born strong,” Bivol said.

However, these weren’t the only times Bivol commented on Beterbiev’s power.

Despite the controversy surrounding his loss to Beterbiev, Bivol decided to keep things real. Speaking to iFL TV right after the fight came to a close, Bivol acknowledged that Beterbiev’s power was significant, highlighting the bruises he had suffered after the action-packed 12 rounds.

“It’s hard, but not as [hard] as people are describing. Yeah, it’s hard, you see my eye. He landed a lot of punches on my left hand, through my hand. You see the bruises,” Bivol said. However, the Russian boxer remained adamant about his own abilities, stating, “He [hits] hard but we can handle these hard punches.”

That said, the next best thing for Dmitry Bivol would be to pursue a rematch with Artur Beterbiev to avenge his loss. However, the final word on the matter will only be revealed in the coming days, as Beterbiev contemplates other options.

‘Robbed, Disgusting’ – Beterbiev Vs. Bivol CompuBox Numbers

By
Artur Beterbiev Dmitry Bivol

The CompuBox numbers for the Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivolfight have been released, showing how close the fight was.

The two boxers faced off for the Undisputed Light Heavyweight Championship. Beterbiev won via a majority decision to make him the Undisputed Light Heavyweight Champion. However, the result divided the boxing community, with many feeling that Bivol had been robbed. Beterbiev’s corner was heard telling their man that he had to knock his opponent out. But when it came to the judges’ scorecards, they saw things differently. One scorecard had it 114 apiece, whilst the other two were in favor of better Beterbiev with scores of 116-112 and 115-113.

Bivol was clearly left disappointed, while Beterbiev’s team shut down any claims that there had been a robbery. And looking at the stats, it was a close fight. Bivol managed to land 50% of his power punches. This was a lot more than Beterbiev, who only landed 29%. This meant Bivol connected with 33 power punches over the first six rounds, while Beterbiev only landed 23. But when it came to the second half of the fight, Beterbiev was stronger. He landed 67 power punches in comparison to Bivol, who only landed 51.

And when it came to the home stretch, Beterbiev was stronger in rounds 11 and 12. He landed 29 power punches, while Bivol managed to connect with 19. They were also separated by just five punches in total. Bivol outlanded Beterbiev with 142 punches compared to his opponent’s 137. Bivol also landed with more jabs. He had 58 compared to Beterbiev’s 47. But Beterbiev landed more power punches, with 90 compared to 84. Therefore, the fact that one judge had 116-112 drew the wrath of Eddie Hearn. His comments were also backed up by Frank Warren, who felt that Bivol had done enough to win. And that has set up the narrative for a rematch.

“In one of the biggest fights of our generation, the most important fight of Dmitry Bivol’s life, you give him four rounds?” he told the DAZN broadcast. It’s disgusting. You heard Beterbiev’s corner in the 10th round: They told him he had to knock him out. Top Rank knew he’d lost. I’m absolutely baffled and disgusted. I don’t want to disrespect Artur Beterbiev… That judge should never work again. Four rounds [to Bivol] in a fight of this, magnitude is disgusting,” Hearn said 

“I gave it to Bivol by a couple of rounds. That score of 8-4 is beyond ridiculous. Everyone around that ring thought Bivol had won it by at least two rounds. There should be a rematch because it was such a quality fight. Brilliant skills in there by Bivol, his jab was superb. Artur the last couple of rounds was told it was sink or swim. The score 8-4 was a joke. It’s terrible when you get a fight like that and it ends in controversy,” Warren stated

“I don’t think the result was fair”: Turki Alalshikh confirms plans to stage a rematch between Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol

By
Turki Alalshikh Artur Beterbiev Dmitry Bivol

Turki Alalshikh, the influential Saudi sports authority and head of the General Entertainment Authority, has voiced his desire to stage a rematch between Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol following Beterbiev’s controversial points victory in their undisputed light-heavyweight title fight. 

Alalshikh, a key figure in bringing major boxing events to Saudi Arabia, believes the result of the fight was not fair and is already working to organise a second showdown between the two champions.

Beterbiev’s victory, secured by a majority decision after twelve rounds of intense action, has sparked widespread debate in the boxing community, with many—including professional fighters—arguing that Bivol deserved the win.

While Beterbiev’s aggressive style and power shots earned him the judges’ nod, Bivol’s technical skill and ring control had many feeling he had done enough to claim victory.

Alalshikh, who has played a major role in bringing boxing mega-fights to Saudi Arabia over the last 12 months, has expressed his dissatisfaction with the result, suggesting that the judges may have gotten it wrong.

Speaking about the result, Alalshikh told The Stomping Ground: ‘This was one of the great fights of the last 20 years I think, but I don’t think the result was fair, in my opinion. The two fighters are like my brothers, but I think Bivol won two rounds more. I will focus and I will try to do the rematch. If they accept, we will do it.’

Known for his passion for combat sports and his ability to deliver blockbuster events, Alalshikh is already in talks with both Bivol’s and Beterbiev’s teams to make the rematch a reality.

He is reportedly keen on hosting the bout in Saudi Arabia, which has become a prime destination for high-profile boxing matches, including bouts involving Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury.

A rematch between Beterbiev and Bivol would undoubtedly be one of the most anticipated fights of 2025, given the controversy surrounding their first bout in Riyadh.

Bivol, who many believe was ‘robbed’ of a victory, has welcomed the idea of a rematch. While Beterbiev, now the undisputed light-heavyweight champion, has also indicated that he would be open to a second fight.

The potential rematch has already generated excitement among fans and boxing insiders alike, with many viewing it as a must-see event. Given Alalshikh’s track record of organising high-stakes fights, there is growing anticipation that this rematch could come together quickly.

[VIDEOS] ‘Absolutely Disgusting’ – Beterbiev Beats Bivol To Become Undisputed Amid Robbery Claims

By
Beterbiev Bivol

Artur Beterbiev is the Undisputed Light Heavyweight Champion after a divisive majority decision win over Dmitry Bivol. 

Beterbiev added Bivol’s WBA belt to his WBC, WBO and IBF titles, extending his record to 21-0. It was the first time he went the full 12 rounds while Bivol suffered his first defeat. Bivol began the opener well as he was landing the jab. He doubled up on it, connecting with his right hand as Beterbiev started slow.

However, Beterbiev maintained control of the center. He caught Bivol’s attention with a big right hand in the third as he worked himself into the fight, while Bivol kept moving around the ring. Bivol responded with a right cross, but Beterbiev took it cleanly, with no impact as he walked forward.

In the sixth, Bivol was backed up on the ropes. Beterbiev landed upstairs, grazing Bivol’s head with a right cross as he found himself on the ropes. Bivol was breathing heavier as Beterbiev was putting his combinations together. However, Bivol fought back in the seventh. He buzzed Beterbiev with a combination on the ropes.

Beterbiev reacted by backing up Bivol, who was forced to cover up. Neither man was backing down. Bivol’s backhand landed on the body in the ninth, followed by a cross that popped Beterbiev’s head. Beterbiev’s corner was clear that he needed a KO following the tenth. Beterbiev went for it, unleashing a flurry of punches as Bivol slowed down in the 11th. However, Bivol held his ground only to come up short on the scorecards, dividing the boxing community: 114-114, 115-113, and 116-112.

Post-Fight

“I don’t have any explanation, because it would look like excuses. I just congratulate Artur and his team, they deserve it. [And] I did my job. I felt that I could do better, it just… some opinion of judges… Congratulations, Artur. I didn’t see this fight. He won, what can I say?,” Bivol

“In one of the biggest fights of our generation, the most important fight of Dmitry Bivol’s life, you give him four rounds? It’s disgusting. You heard Beterbiev’s corner in the 10th round: They told him he had to knock him out. Top Rank knew he’d lost. I’m absolutely baffled and disgusted. I don’t want to disrespect Artur Beterbiev… That judge should never work again. Four rounds [to Bivol] in a fight of this magnitude is disgusting,” Hearn
