Dmitry Bivol and Artur Beterbiev to meet again in the ring for a third fight for the title
On the night of February 23, a rematch between Russian boxers Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol took place in Saudi Arabia. The title of the absolute world champion in the light heavyweight division was at stake. Bivol immediately took over the center of the ring, masterfully using the jab to control the distance. Beterbiev, known for his power and aggression, sought to fight inside, but Bivol effectively avoided the attacks thanks to excellent footwork and defense. In the middle of the fight, Beterbiev managed to shake his opponent several times with strong blows, but Bivol quickly recovered and responded with accurate combinations. The final part of the fight was dictated by Bivol, who looked fresher and more active. The judges unanimously awarded him the victory, which allowed him to take revenge for his previous defeat and become the absolute world champion in the light heavyweight division. This victory brought Bivol the championship belts and inflicted the first defeat in Beterbiev's professional career.
Now that Dmitry occupies a leading position in the world rankings and owns the championship belts, new prospects are opening up for him. He also overtook his opponent in the ranking of the best boxers regardless of weight according to "The Ring". However, he has a third fight with Beterbiev ahead of him - for the sake of this meeting, he gave up the WBA title. The World Boxing Council (WBC) obliged Dmitry to defend against the mandatory challenger - David Benavidez. For Bivol, titles are not as important as the opportunity to prove his superiority over another champion, which came as a surprise to many experts and boxing fans. Dmitry himself expressed disappointment with the WBC decision, but respectfully accepted it and is confident that he will regain the title in the future. For now, he will focus on unifying the remaining belts and proving his superiority.
In the world of boxing, two Russian names are invariably moving towards the heights of fame: Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol. Both are world light heavyweight champions and claim the title of the greatest boxers of all time. Artur is the embodiment of strength: 19 fights, 19 knockout wins - he is the only current champion with such a record. His ability to adapt to opponents is confirmed by victories over strong boxers such as Alexander Gvozdyk and Anthony Yarde. In contrast, Dmitry is a symbol of grace and technique, a master of defense with an incredible sense of distance. His style combines speed, precision and tactical flexibility; victory over Saul "Canelo" Alvarez was a sensation and confirmed his high level of skill.
