Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol look ready to finally settle their business.
Beterbiev and Bivol, who are currently the two best light heavyweight boxers in the world, were previously scheduled to fight for the undisputed title back in June before a ruptured meniscus forced Beterbiev to withdraw from the bout. Now, the two are finally set to matchup on Oct. 12 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. On Wednesday, the final promotional push toward the fight began with a press conference in London, where the longtime rivals finally faced off with an intense staredown.
Undefeated in 20 professional fights, Beterbiev is the current WBC, IBF, and WBO light heavyweight champion and most recently stopped Callum Smith to retain his titles back in January.
Also undefeated at 23-0, Bivol, is the current WBA and IBO light heavyweight champion and is perhaps best known for defeating Canelo Alvarez in May of 2022.
In advance of the fight, promoters Matchroom, Top Rank, and Queensberry Promotions released an epic trailer for the marque matchup that you can watch below.
